Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Speedy Tuesday
Tuesdays in the ‘watch-world’ are synonymous with the Omega Speedmaster. This idea was first conceived and popularized by the Fratello Watch group in 2012 as a simple hashtag #speedytuesday on Facebook. In 2017, to commemorate 5 years of the #speedytuesday movement, Omega in collaboration with Fratello Watches designed and released a limited edition “Speedy Tuesday”…

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Navy Seals Alarm

Owner Review: Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V
I still remember that day. November 28, 2018. Australian summer was just around the corner. I noticed a spring in my step as I made my way from the Crown car park to Monards, one of the most prestigious watch dealers in Melbourne. It was finally time to try on one of my grail watches,…

Owner Review: Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantieme
The Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantieme is instantly recognizable and unmistakably a Jaquet Droz to all the WIS out there and at 43mm it can hardly be missed. For most people, the sheer size of the watch will turn them away especially for a watch meant for dressier occasions. Jacquet Droz does offer a variant…

Owner Review: Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller
The legendary Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller is a Big watch… The capital B has very much been used on purpose. Coming in at a seemingly huge 44mm in size, it doesn’t sit as wide as many large Panerai dive watches, but it is the acrophobia inducing height of 17.7mm that makes it feel a touch unwieldy,…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Reduced
The Omega Speedmaster Reduced 3539.50 is somewhat of a sleeper in the watch world. It evokes a lot of the same classic styling of the iconic 42mm Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch” but sporting an automatic movement in a versatile 38mm form-factor instead. Unfortunately, the Speedmaster Reduced has long been discontinued but at least they’re still pretty…

Owner Review: Seiko Samurai SRPB49K1
I’m going to be honest with you. I wouldn’t buy myself a Seiko Samurai SRPB49K1 today. I bought this watch about 1.5 years ago, when I was just getting into watches. Back then, I didn’t know exactly what my tastes and preferences were going to be. I knew Seiko was respected for their affordable divers…

Owner Review: Longines Heritage Military – What is heritage with no story?
I like watches, but what I like more are the stories associated with them. That is why I ended up picking the Longines Heritage Military. WW2 is an important event in mankind’s history. It changed the world map forever. And the RAF played a crucial role in Great Britain’s contribution to the allied forces winning…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay 58 79030N
