Owner Review: Rolex GMT Master II 16710 “Coke”
This is my very first watch review, so please be patient with me. I was asked to review my Rolex GMT Master II 16710 “Coke” with a red and black bezel from c. 1992. I will draw here and there comparisons to the Rolex GMT Master II with the red and blue bezel aka 126710…

Owner Review: Rolex Yacht-Master 16628
The all gold Rolex Yacht-Master 16628.. It’s the one to start all Yacht-Masters and the timepiece that started my watch fever as a young man. I selected it as my goal watch because my father said that when I had a real job and proved myself as responsible, he would let me wear it and…

Owner Review: Sinn 857 UTC TESTAF
The single watch that provides everything we want in a timepiece remains elusive for those who love watches. If forced to limit myself to a single timepiece, my choice would be the versatile Sinn 857 UTC TESTAF for three reasons. 1) Legibility As a pilot watch, the Sinn 857 features my favorite dial design, styled…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz
I have been collecting watches for almost 20 years now and by the time the Omega Speedmaster Professional Apollo-Soyuz was announced in 2010, I was only focused on vintage watches but it became my first modern Speedy to mark an important personal achievement. This LE commemorated the 35th anniversary of the rendezvous of Apollo and…

Owner Review: Casio G-Shock DW-5600
If you are reading this blog, I think you should know what a G-Shock is and little bit about its history. In short, G-Shock is a creation Kikuo Ibe (and his team of course) in 1983 to have a “Triple 10” – 10 years battery life, 10 bar water resistance, and more importantly survive a…

Owner Review: Girard Perregaux Laureato Chronograph
I bought the Girard Perregaux Laureato Chronograph because I fell in love with the integrated bracelet; this looks just great. Combined with the size of 38mm and height of just around 11.3mm for my 17.5cm wrist it was really appealing. Then the brand Girard Perregaux, which is one of the oldest but not flashy haute…

Owner Review: S.U.F Helsinki Vetehinen
Have you been looking to be the custodian of a wonderful Sarpaneva creation? The S.U.F Helsinki Vetehinen line is an entry level line created by independent watchmaker Stepan Sarpaneva. When I was first lucky enough to stumble upon a photo of the S.U.F Vetehinen I immediately knew this was a watch that I just had…

Owner Review: Panerai Radiomir S.L.C. PAM 425
It was August 2019 in Athens, Greece. I had an itch to get me a Radiomir. I wanted a Black Seal Ceramic, but I was trying to control myself, unsuccessfully. During a trip to the mall, I pass by an AD and spot the Radiomir Ceramic in the display window. I go in and ask…

Owner Review: Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Meteorite 126719BLRO
Having owned the Pepsi BLRO in stainless steel, my next natural progression was to also own a Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi Meteorite 126719BLRO. The meteorite dial is an extremely special piece to me, as no two dials are identical. As most Rolex sport models have the same 40mm cases and only 2 versions of different…

Owner Review: Rolex Milgauss White Dial 116400
For my fifth Fifth Wrist review, I felt somewhat obligated, for the first time, to review a Rolex. Moans and groans from the readers, at this point? Though this is not, in my subjective opinion, a ‘run of the mill’ Rolex (pardon the pun…). This Rolex Milgauss White Dial 116400 exudes fun, plus it is…
