Since I started to collect watches, I have been searching for that one watch that I could wear on a daily basis, without having to worry about what would happen during the day. I settled on choosing the Tudor Pelagos Blue 25600TB. It is a very sturdy watch and I love the fact that it…

Owner Review: Seiko SLA017 – My highly anticipated……deception?

What if you finally can date that beautiful girl and it turns out to be not what you expected…..and you walk away bored.

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner Hulk 116610 LV

How did I find my way to the Rolex Submariner Hulk? Well when I first got into “nice watches” a few years ago, I was attracted to the aesthetics of dive watches. After hanging around watch forums for some time, I found out about the Rolex submariner and I immediately fell in love. I finally…

Owner Review: Panerai Luminor Marina 8 Days PAM510

Being a die hard Paneristi and having previously owned both a Bronzo and a Ceramica, two head turning statement watches.

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M

Owner Review: Seiko Gold Turtle SRPC44

The S.U.F Vetehinen is great for people like me who love Stepan Sarpaneva’s higher-end Sarpaneva branded watches but cannot afford them! While the standard SUF (SarpanevaUhrenFabrik) Vetehinen in stainless steel already looks good, IMO this Ltd Edition (26pces) looks beautiful in a gothic sort of way and the closer you look the better it gets.…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner “No Date” 114060

My first Rolex was an Explorer purchased about two years ago. Don’t get me wrong, the Explorer is a great watch: understated, comfortable, a great candidate for a “one watch collection” if you’re not able to spend a lot of money and choose to have only one great watch. But I suppose I was not…
