Owner Review: Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Tough Titanium
The first time I saw the Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Tough Titanium, I thought it was hideous. The dial looked cluttered, with its oversized Arabic numerals, the white luminescent markers contrasting sharply against the blue dial (it also comes in black). Also, it was a Citizen. And a quartz. Who would pay so much (£300)? It…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay 58 79030N
You want to be Connery’s Bond and wear a Rolex 6538 “big crown” while lusting over its warm gilt dial with elegantly proportioned case and sharp deep chamfers… but need something robust and modern that doesn’t cost you a house deposit.. meet the modern 114060 Ceramic Rolex Submariner, but wait..it’s way too modern and clinical..…

Owner Review: Hamilton Navy Pioneer – (Almost) Scratch Free
How I envy those watch collectors who delight in every scratch and dent added to their watch, viewing the marks as treasured snapshots in the ongoing album of their life. Try as I might, I can’t avoid obsessing over every hairline scratch or little ding I might have added in the latest wear of my…

Owner Review: NTH Näcken
If you take serious medication against homagitis I advise you to skip this perversion of a review on the NTH Näcken. I’d like to focus on aspects that strike to me as improvements on this milked platform instead of the usual “bang for buck” talk. Brand name & logo are combined in a vertically symmetric…

Owner Review: Vostok Amphibia – A for Adventure
The Vostok Amphibia has been around since 1967. The design principles and factory in Chistopol, Russia remained the same through the decades, delivering a true in-house product with rich history at a modest price point. The case features a lot of convex shapes! While the base looks quite chunky, it blends in nicely forming a…

Owner Review: Ming 17.06 Copper
I bought the Ming 17.06 Copper on a whim. Well, I had heard a little about Ming, and knew that this was due to be released, but I logged on to the site about 24 hrs before I thought it was coming out and was surprised to see it had just been made available. The…

Owner Review: Longines Heritage Military L28114530
Despite managing to only find two Instagram posts from Longines around its release in late 2016 and a small handful of online reviews since this time, the vintage appeal of the Longines Heritage Military L28114530 was just too good for me to pass up. To this very day, this watch remains one of my favourite…

Owner Review: IWC Pilots Watch Spitfire Chronograph
At 43mm the IWC Pilots Watch Spitfire Chronograph is the largest watch in my collection. I love my 34mm Rolex. I have no problem with small diameter watches, they are so comfortable. To be honest, I was a bit worried about how I would feel wearing a 43mm wrist associate. For my first little bit…

Owner Review: Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 BLNR Batgirl
Say hello to the Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 BLNR Batgirl (I know some hate this nickname but I for one have no issues with nicknames) – introduced in 2019 as the replacement to the Batman. When I first picked this piece up I was in awe of how stunning it looked. I have seen the…
