Owner Review: Orient FFM03004B

The Orient collection of watches is a real treasure trove – as I’ve recently discovered – there’s so much more than the few popular offerings that we all know and love. One such piece is the rather unimaginatively titled FFM03004B – no fancy nickname for this one, unlike his more popular Orient brethren. The slide…

Owner Review: Edox Geoscope GMT – The world at a glance!

Owner Review: Seiko 7A38 Speedmaster

Find any online watch discussion and you will read quartz is dismissed as having “no soul” and is often aligned with cheap quality and mass production. With the Seiko 7A38 calibre from the mid 1980’s – you will find only one of those points to be accurate. Adding a superbly integrated day/date complication onto its…

Owner Review: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15450ST

With the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15450ST coming in at 37mm in size, the question on people minds is “Is this watch going to be too small?” Especially as the original model was 39mm in size. However, luckily due to its hexagonal shape and integrated bracelet it wears slightly bigger. I would say more like…

Owner Review: Swatch Firestorm – before the MoonSwatch

When you mention ‘Swatch‘ to someone, what comes to their mind would be a plastic watch with playful charms and creative design which doesn’t hold much value.
