    Owner Review: CWC RN auto diver MK.2 1 by @a.cesnovar

    The CWC Royal Navy auto diver – it’s a watch I’ve owned for quite some time, but never really thought I’d review – until I realized the significance it had and what a milestone it represented in my collection. All (or most) enthusiasts on the beginning of their watch collecting journey fall in the so-called

    Owner Review: Serica 5303 by @danghorology

    As someone who owns more watches than pairs of socks (don’t judge), I’ve always told myself I don’t need another diver. Which is exactly why, one sleepless night, I found myself messaging a good mate and buying his barely-worn Serica 5303. He wore it once, decided it was too small for his big ol’ wrist, and

    Owner Review: Porsche Design Titanium Diver 6501.10 by @teesankoo

    Having collected watches since the 90s, I’d seen this watch (online) a few times over the decades, but never in person. I’d also never really considered buying a Porsche Design (PD) watch until I bought a mid-life-crisis 911 about five years ago, and then the first Porsche Design watch I bought was their classic Black

    Owner Review: Seiko SPB151 “Willard” by @brewedtime

    The afternoon sun was ferocious. I wiped the beads of sweat from my brow and took a moment to gather myself and take in my surroundings. The Mekong Delta was unforgiving but breathtaking. My shirt was wet, and I had lost all sense of time under the torture of the sun, so I glanced down

    Owner Review: Marathon OSAR-D by @brewedtime

    Why This Marathon Completed A Dream My journey to discovering this watch takes me all the way back to my teenage years in England. Sitting in front of the old family PC, firing up the internet, and diving deep into the pages of watch forums. It was here, in the early days of the web,

    Owner Review: Rolex Submariner 16610 M Series by @omar_luxury_

    The Rolex Submariner is probably the most iconic watch of all time, to the point it is ubiquitous. From experienced collectors who have Comex 5514s to people who just want a quality watch, a Submariner is preferred by almost anybody, and are cornerstones to many collections. Though the design hasn’t changed significantly in more than

    Owner Review: Helm Vanuatu Titanium by @a.cesnovar

    Helm watches have built a cult following in the microbrand community and for a good reason – they offer original designs and unparalleled quality for the price. And as demand kept increasing over the years, they’ve managed to keep their prices relatively unchanged. What’s the catch? – you might ask, because undoubtedly there has to

    Owner Review: Citizen Promaster E02020-08E by @east_w_atch

    2023 is the year of Citizen with countless new releases and configurations on classics, the Promaster E02020-08E Eco Drive watch continues this barrage on the midrange watch market, in a crowd pleasing 36.5mm case size. Arguably the Promaster range of watches are some of Citizen’s most popular and recognisable with clear dive watch aesthetics and

    Dan Henry 1975 Automatic Skin Diver Owner Review by @archiepeterson1303

    The Dan Henry 1975 Automatic Skin Diver is a fun, colourful and retro styled skin diver, meaning it features only 150m of water resistance as opposed to the typical 200-300m of other dive watches. This means that whilst you can certainly swim with it, I wouldn’t recommend diving whilst wearing it. However this lack of

    Tactico Atlantis Owner Review by Chris @ck2k01

    I really like the archetypal Monnin case (some would say “cased,” with another company, M.R.P., also likely deserving some credit). There are actually a few different Monnin cases that were used by a range of brands back in the day, though the originating Heuer 844 (“Jumbo”) is the most iconic. The same or very similar
