Owner Review: Seiko SPB147 – Who Needs the Black Bay 58?
Like most watch people, Seiko has been a staple part of my wristwatch experience for many years. For me, Seiko divers have come and gone. The most recent Seiko void in my rotation, just happened to coincide with the release of the new Prospex line up of the 62 MAS inspired divers, the SPB/SBDC series,

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 75090 – Neo Vintage
In my three watch collection, a neo vintage Submariner is my sport/active watch. I don’t like the term beater; to me it implies being disposable. I see my Tudor Submariner more as being ultra durable. I don’t have to worry about it at all. In fact, the scuffs, scratches and fading make it look better.

Owner Review: Seiko 5 SNZH55 – More Than a Fifty Fathoms Homage!
So yes, it’s been done to death and everyone knows how amazing it is blah blah blah. I admit I bought into the hype buying this Seiko 5 SNZH55 on an impulse. A few months later it hasn’t seen too much wrist time. Don’t fall into the hype! It’s not a bad watch. Not even

Owner Review: Squale 60 Atmos – Summer on the Wrist
I don’t know about everyone else, but for me when I purchase a watch it is based on how it looks first and foremost, and everything else second. There are a lot of things that go into the decision to buy a watch (price, brand, movement etc.) but if I don’t like the way a

Owner Review: Seiko 5 SRPD76 Rose Gold – How I Learned to Love a Gold Watch
Scene; 2020. A global pandemic rages; violence, fires, locusts, and murder hornets are everywhere. Hell’s creaking doors (or whatever version of The Bad Place you may subscribe too) have opened. The end becons. Nothing good is on the horizon. Then one day on IG, I see this watch: the new Seiko 5 rose gold PVD.

Owner Review: Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961
This year Mido reissued a classic of the Mido cannon. The Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer 1961. So, let’s start with the obvious. That riot of colour! It immediately jumps right out at you. These days dive watches are more Marco Polo than Mariana trench and that colour packed playful dial looks like a fun

Owner Review: Seiko SRPC65 Bottlecap – There’s No End to the Nicknames
Monster, Turtle, Tuna, Sumo, Samurai, Shogun, Arnie…there’s no end to the list of nicknames watch collectors give Seiko watches. Add to this the Seiko Bottlecap, a watch series launched in 2018 in various executions. The nickname derives from the watch’s obvious physical similarities with a bottlecap, such as its chunky case and notched bezel. The

Owner Review: Orient King Diver – May He Live Long
I’m generally drawn to watches that are unique and tell a story. For these reasons, I collect mostly vintage watches. I do have a few modern pieces but even those carry forward vintage cues. I picked up my Weekly Auto Orient King Diver in August to mark five years with my company. Orient recently turned

Owner Review: Panerai Radiomir PAM 337 – Is it a Diver? Dress? Sports?
Leaving Wakachangi High and gaining experience changes your views on women for the rest of your life. It changes the way you approach relationships with others, gaining respect for the overlooked. You understand more fully Dave’s attraction to a Russian unijambiste. Indeed, never would I have imagined there would be a Panerai Radiomir in my

Owner Review: Enicar Super Dive – The Ship That Never Sailed
In this review I’ll be talking about my Enicar Super Dive. This particular example was found by a friend in Poland and I had the privilege of buying it from him (Thanks P). The Enicar Super Dive has a military association and was used by the Polish Navy (Marynarka Wojenna Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej). After reviewing Christopher

That dial is just fntastic.
Very cool watch. I have always wondered about the bronze models. Is the caseback bronze as well? If so do…
