Owner Review: Squale 1521 50 Atmos Bluegasm

This is my Squale 1521, I sell a few here and there, but this isn’t going anywhere. I just want to describe my experience with this watch, but it’s not perfection personified…unlike me 🙂 Firstly, it feels like the perfect size universally at 41mm. Sits up well on the wrist too. I get compliments from…

There’s the unmistakably vintage black dial with silver hands; the petite onion crown with the yester-year “T” signature; and most visually appealing of all, the curve silhouette of the watch’s ultra-thin stainless steel case.…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay 36 – Based on a True Story

Scene 1: December 31, six hours before the new year arrives. Six hours to celebrate with friends — at least, those who are able to stay awake (we’re not as young as we once were). We’re going to be late — my fault, as usual. Where did I put that damn jacket? Ah, there it…
