Owner Review: Tudor Oyster Prince 7995 Tuxedo Dial

The Tudor Oyster Prince 7995 with the “Tuxedo Dial” is an almost iconic example of mid-60’s culture (this particular watch was manufactured in 1966). It was originally intended to be strictly a dress watch and typifies the style of watch many would wear to work along with a suit during this period. The Tudor Oyster…

Owner Review: Citizen Nighthawk – A Quick Flyby

A part of many driver, flyer, diver collections, the Citizen Nighthawk makes for a great entry piece into the world of aviation watches. What makes it so appealing? First and foremost, it is the dial. At a glance, the dial itself seems cluttered and busy. However, it is ultra-legible. The applied indices are spaced out…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Silver Snoopy

Back in 2015 the infamous reference 311.32.42.30.04.003 Omega Speedmaster Silver Snoopy was released. I was unfortunately too late to put down an order since I knew I was about to move from sunny California to a different continent a few months later and wouldn’t be around to collect it from my local AD. To make…

Owner Review: Sinn 104 – one of the best value tool watches

Is the Sinn 104 still one of the best value tool watches on the market right now? The Sinn 104 is a pretty close to entry-level piece from German watchmaking powerhouse Sinn. Aimed at the tool watch user and with a distinct aviator vibe, with more than a touch of dive watch to its aesthetic…

Owner Review: Doxa Searambler 300 50th Anniversary

The Doxa Searambler 300 50th Anniversary was reproduced in a limited edition run of 300. An interesting fact is that the silver dial searambler and the black dial sharkhunter never sold out of the limited 300. The later produced Aqua-Lung versions did sell out which make the non aqua-lung versions rarer as less than the…

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 7016/0

The Tudor Submariner 7016/0 is a birth year model for me. Along with razors and pens, the birth year watch was a must have for me for some reason. My wife found this model at HQ Milton in San Francisco and was impressed with the attention to care and detail they offered. I knew what…

Owner Review: Longines 30CH Chronograph

Longines chronographs with the 13.33Z, 13ZN and 30CH calibers are (imho) the most beautiful in-house, hand-winding chronographs ever produced. Today I am talking about my mid 50s Longines 30CH Chronograph steel ref. 5982. I often use it in rotation with other Longines chronographs in my collection. I wear it on any occasion but not when…

Owner Review: Seiko 6138-0030 Kakume blue

I first came across a Seiko 6138-0030 Kakume, when a friend had me pick one up for him. He lives in Germany, and the seller didn’t ship Internationally. He had given a fair few bucks for it! So I was wondering what all the fuss was about? I opened the box up and saw that…
