Owner review: Fortis Flieger F-41
As far as I know, the Fortis Flieger* has been around since 1987. Fortis has been under new ownership since 2018. In 2020 I first became aware of the NEW Fortis Flieger F-41. Here I’m talking about the Fortis Flieger F-41 automatic with metal bracelet and black dial. There are other versions available, too. Personally,…

Owner review: Omega Seamaster Professional 300m
Long before I was a degenerate watch collector I relished in hanging out with my friends after school. This was the late 90’s and as such our after school activities, before being shuffled off to our respective houses meant doing one thing, playing the Nintendo 64. Two games stood head and shoulders above the rest…

Owner review: Bulgari Aluminium GMT 103702
“Bulgari Aluminium GMT Amerigo Vespucci Special Edition ref. 103702” that’s a mouthful. A watch, in a long line of Bulgari Aluminiums, previously known as the Bulgari Diagano around the early 90s-00s, that continues an iconic design unique to Bulgari. They nailed the brief on this design, much like any Cartier watch, remove the branding and…

Owner review: Rolex Submariner Ceramic 114060
The supercase, love it or hate it, is a fixture of the Rolex Submariner Ceramic 114060. Despite its chunky lugs there is much to love about this Rolex staple. I had always lusted after the Submariner for as long as I can remember. I was initially (like many) lukewarm towards the Rolex Submariner 114060 but…

Owner review: Vacheron Constantin Quai de l’Ile
A very fancy case: The Vacheron Constantin Quai de l’Ile is an extremely large and rather unusual watch in terms of design – it is very huge, very wide, very uncommon, rather less elegant. It has a clear, excellently legible modern sector-style dial and a Vacheron Constantin movement with the Poinçon de Genève (the Hallmark…

Owner review: Seiko Flightmaster SBDS003
An automatic Seiko Flightmaster SBDS003… REALLY, AN AUTOMATIC SEIKO FLIGHTMASTER… Let that sink in, bet most of you Seiko Flightmaster fanboys never knew it existed, no? An all-titanium, 100m wr, screw-down everything, GS grade (6S37A), rhodium-plated, column-wheel chronograph, high-beat movement, with a power reserve indicator, integrated matching colour date wheel, sapphire crystal front and back,…

Owner review: Grand Seiko SBGF017
Sometime last year, I somehow ended up falling down the HAQ rabbit hole. It’s inevitable, really, you just have to be in this hobby long enough. And at its bottom, the 8J56 movement was waiting for me. Grand Seiko is surprisingly quiet about the quartz movements that don’t start with a 9F – there is…

Owner review: Seiko Prospex SRPE93K
My Last watch buy for 2022 the Seiko Prospex SRPE93K or the Turtle as it is affectionally referred to , is big, clumsy and a little ugly like the author. I have had my eye on a few limited editions over the years but when one of my Brothers came down with his vintage 6309…

Owner review: Nicholas Hacko NHW MKII
Obviously there is no detailed history of horology in Australia, but when there is, the Nicholas Hacko NHW MKII will feature as it’s a pioneering watch in so many ways and represents an incredible achievement for independent watchmaking regardless of geography. It occurs to me that watches have been assembled in Australia on and off…
