Owner Review: CWC Royal Navy Spec MK1 Diver makes me half fat!
The CWC RN MK1 Diver is a military collectors dream watch. Made by the Cabot Watch Company in the UK, who have supplied the British armed forces with watches since the 70’s and are known as one of the ‘Fab 4’. The Fab 4 were Hamilton, Newmark, Precista and of course CWC. I can see

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. This time I purchased a watch based purely on my own desires with no peer pressure from other watchmakers. I have thought about getting a tuna on numerous occasions but always thought they would be

Owner Review – Seiko SKX009J – Memoirs of a discontinued Seiko
The humble Seiko SKX009J. A beater for many, but for me a watch of memories and my first “collector” watch. The first day I wore it I enjoyed one of the nicest days of my life so far. I made it to scans on time without having to wait. I visited Pellegrini’s for the first

Owner Review: Sears Tradition Skin Diver – A 1970s Cult Classic
If your parents ever dragged you to the local Sears department store for back-to-school supplies in the 1970s, somewhere among the endless racks of discounted tie-dye shirts and bell-bottom jeans, you may have seen this handsome Sears Tradition Skin Diver sitting in a display case. “Tradition” was Sears Roebuck’s private label for their line of

Owner Review: Enicar Super Dive MKIII – Can You Dig It?
During this pandemic, I found myself with ample time to shop for watches. Who am I kidding I find the time even when I’m working at the office. I had always been interested in vintage watches and had explored brands like Heuer, Universal Geneve, and Zenith in the past, but the prices for these legends

Owner Review: Orient Triton – the swan song of the tool dive watch
The Times They Are a-Changin’. Watches are by no means a necessary instrument in today’s world – tool watches, even less. And when an item is no longer a necessity, it starts becoming luxury. The watch industry is a prime example of this and with even Seiko steadily increasing their prices and pushing into Swiss

Owner Review: Panerai PAM 359 – The incarnation of cool
I went into the local AD to have a look at the Rolex Milgauss. Actually, I was planning to buy one. While trying it on and talking watches, the salesman (who really knew what he was talking about (he is a watchmaker) and was a good salesperson, too) said “in this price range, we also

Owner Review: Oris Divers 65 Hodinkee – A day to remember
It was a day in June and at that time I had no idea, that at 4 PM, I was going to purchase an Oris 65. I knew Oris from my good friend, fellow watch nerd and big Oris fan, Jasper. He has a nice collection of Oris all super cool watches, one of them

Owner Review: Ollech Wajs P-101 – The Rebirth of Cool
Ollech & Wajs (pronounced: “Oh-leck and Vice”) may not be a brand most people are familiar with. Established in Zurich in 1956, OW enjoyed quite a bit of success selling precision tool and dive watches via mail-order catalogs and military PXs during the time of the Vietnam War; Digging through their back-catalog, it’s not hard

Owner Review: The Ianos Avyssos is a Dive watch you must sea to believe.
So, what can I tell you about my Ianos Avyssos Blue?? I got it for my Birthday this year in January – placed a blind order online – and it arrived, very quickly, straight from Ianos Watches in Switzerland, with regular updates throughout from Jacob, the creator and owner, via email. It is a steel

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…
