Owner Review – NTH Amphion Vintage Gilt

So I hear you’re in the market to own yet another Mil-sub with a heavy dash of the “H-word” sprinkled in for good measure. If you are looking for a watch that exhibits its heritage in the form of a vintage gilt relief dial, submariner style design cues, and sexy ass sword hands, then the…

Owner Review: Seiko Prospex Solar SNE541 – A Panerai for the skinny wristed

The last time I bought a watch was my 2.5 watchmaker’s edition G-Shock and look how badly that turned out.

Owner Review – Seiko SKX009J – Memoirs of a discontinued Seiko

Owner Review: Seiko Memo Diary UC-3000

I look up from my glass with its splash of nicotine coloured whisky and glance at my super sleek black digital watch. It shows 3:50 which tells me the office clock is wrong by a good two minutes. You can’t beat digitals for accuracy. I look through my office window at the girls in the…
