Owner Review: Longines Legend Diver L37744506

I don’t pretend to know everything about watches. I do however think that learning in the world of horology doesn’t stop and more importantly, many lessons have been and will continue to be learned along the way. Many pieces have come and gone, many with a pleasant good riddance for a grander piece, a grander…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Bronze Bucherer Blue

The Tudor Black Bay Bronze Bucherer Blue (more affectionately known as the Tudor 5B) was first released in 2018. As I had never owned a bronze watch, it was interesting to see Bucherer launch this model to commemorate its 130 anniversary. Exclusively available at Bucherer outlets, it bears several Bucherer related signatures: 1. Bucherer blue…

Owner Review: Zodiac Super Seawolf 53

I had seen the Zodiac Super Seawolf 53 about a bit on social media and then I met someone at a Redbar London event in the new year who owned the Zodiac Aerospace GMT Hodinkee Edition and thought it looked fantastic and the quality looked great too. I ummed and aahed for a couple of…

Owner Review: Seiko Tuna SBBN017

In 1968 the Seiko management gave the order to Ikuo Tokunaga to develop “the perfect professional diver’s watch”. Seven years later he presented the first Tuna (6159-7010), this was the ancestor of the Seiko Tuna SBBN017. It was the first diver’s watch with a titanium monocoque case, a titanium shroud with ceramic coating to protect…

Owner Review: Rolex Comex Sea Dweller 16600

Military watches first got my interest around 2010, when I got my FAP Omega with archive certification. From then on I went crazy over them. As Comex, Compagnie Maritime d’Expertises, is one of the most iconic logos among collectors, I am incredibly attracted to this group of divers. I chanced upon this Rolex Comex Sea…

Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 79190 – Vintage meets modern

I get it. You’re looking for a vintage dive watch. They’re so hot right now. A transitional matte dial Submariner, that’d be sweet. You’ll probably find yourself looking at 1680s, maybe 16800s. Naturally, they look awesome. Then you look at the price. What if I told you that you could get all of that vintage…

Owner Review: Panerai Luminor Submersible PAM 682

Before we get into the Panerai Luminor Submersible PAM 682 here’s a brief history of Panerai for you, they used to make dive watches for the Royal Italian Navy. When I say make, I mean buy a pocket watch from Rolex, solder some lugs on and then add a strap. Panerai dive watches from that…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Harrods Edition

Although blue is my favorite color, I’ve always loved green watches. I owned the Rolex Submariner Hulk for a couple of years before selling it off, in favor of the 50th anniversary Submariner, aka the Kermit. So when the Tudor Black Bay Harrods edition was launched last year in late 2017, I was drooling all…

Owner Review: Seiko Arnie SNJ025 – Get to tha Review!

While the entire watch enthusiast community was poised for the luxury Swiss watch companies to announce their latest incredibly dull creations at 2019 Baselworld (the last of the Baselworlds) Seiko’s offerings shadowed their somewhat uninspiring new models, the Seiko Arnie SNJ025 was one such watch. Announced by Seiko as a reissue of the awesome H558-5000…
