    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. I wanted a Panerai perfect for everyday wear with that iconic crown guard and the beautiful sandwich dial. I was looking for a Panerai that could be simple and easily recognizable. On my 30th Birthday

    Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M

    Today we are going to talk about one of my favourite divers ever: the Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M. This story goes back to when I saw the James Bond movie Golden Eye as a kid, Pierce Brosnan wore his Seamaster with the characteristic waves on the watch face. I was so impressed that I

    Owner Review: Seiko Gold Turtle SRPC44

    The Seiko Gold Turtle SRPC44 (or ‘Gurtle’ as termed by a fellow Aussie watch enthusiast), is probably one of the best F@*% off watches out in the watch space right now. For a brand like Seiko; arguably the king of true utilitarian, affordable tool watches to make a watch that encompasses all those characteristics, but

    Owner Review: S.U.F Vetehinen – Not for Everyone

    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: Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Diver

    Way back in 1976 Citizen invented the first light-powered analogue quartz watch that runs only on light as a power source. Amazingly it can retain power for up to 6 months on a full charge. This history brings us to my Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Diver. The dial is matt black with Trapezoid markers at 12,3,6

    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

    Owner Review: Seiko SKX011 – because I can’t afford a Doxa

    As a kid, my Dad used to drive our little family to Italy and the South of France for holidays. Sometimes venture up through Andorra and across to Spain too! I have a vivid memory of seeing some guys getting ready to go out spear fishing, and they looked cool as hell! But one thing

    Owner Review: Tudor Pelagos Blue Dial 25600tb

    Being the watch idiot savant that I am, I use an app (“On My Wrist” should anyone be interested!) to record the regularity with which I wear each of my watches in my increasingly inappropriately excessive collection. The app tells me this morning that my Tudor Pelagos Blue Dial 25600tb has today become my equal most

    Owner Review: Citizen Promaster Diver Ecozilla BJ 8050-08e

    The Citizen Promaster Diver Ecozilla BJ 8050-08e is one very awesome model made by the Japanese watchmaking powerhouse. With a case width of 48mm, a thickness of 18.6mm and around 165g of weight, it deserves the friendly but imposing name of Eco-Zilla. When I chose it, I was looking for a summer mate and this

  • Owner Review: Squale 1521 50 Atmos

    Owner Review: Squale 1521 50 Atmos

    Squale, which means “Shark” in French and Italian. The unique look of this watch and the shark logo at the 6 o’clock position makes it easy to identify this professional diver at a glance from any distance. The Squale 1521 50 Atmos is a 42mm diver with 500m water resistance, the movement used is the
