Owner review: MB&F M.A.D.1 Red

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had an MB&F coz that’s so much cooler… I am neither particularly tall, nor do I excel at ball sports. And I certainly can’t afford to buy an MB&F. Or can I? In the heady days of Covid,…

Owner review: Ophion 786 Vélos

I can remember my reaction when I saw the Ophion 786 Vélos back in the days (during the COVID period). I instantly thought: “What a beautiful looking and tasteful watch.” My second thought was: “This is too good to be true, either it will be enormously costly or the waiting time will kill my patience”…

Owner review: Grand Seiko SLGH005

Yet another exiting reference number from Grand Seiko, thankfully this model has got another name, the “white birch”. Even tough I can see the birch forest in the dial maybe it’s a bit to silvery to be named the “White birch”. Let’s not get stuck in the whole name thing. When the Grand Seiko SLGH005…

Owner Review: Ratio Freediver X

When the first renders of the Ratio Freediver X appeared at the beginning of the year, I have to say I was intrigued. I loved the case shape and the overall design, but I was afraid it was gonna be too big – as some of the past divers from Ratio were. But I was…

Owner review: BYOP Avitimer

A favorite pair of jeans, a sweatshirt that fits like no other, there are certain things I own that are comfortable and timeless in one. The BYOP Avitimer just joined my stable of such items. I have an indifference to Flieger dials, but appreciate and enjoy the utilitarian nature of a pilot’s watch. BYOP provides…

Owner review: Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional is a legend, an icon, and one of the greatest watches of all time. The reason I was so enamored with the Speedmaster was because, as a kid, I was seeing the watch in the local Omega AD and learning about the whole history and the “first watch worn on…
