Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Bronze Heritage

Tudor unveiled the Heritage Black Bay Bronze at Baselworld 2016. I can remember seeing the press coverage on various watch websites and Instagram, the watch seemed to be generally well received.

When I was lucky enough to see the Seiko 5 Sports SRPD Diver on a local shop’s flash buy email for 60% off retail last Friday week, I just had to buy it. Sure I have a few watches in my collection, but I was wanting one for riding my bike to work and not…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 300m Ceramic

Not many watches, or product lines in general, have the ability to maintain relevance over the course of 25+ years. Times change, styles fade, and people get bored. But with the help of James Bond and some savvy advertising, the Omega Seamaster 300m has cemented itself in the minds of watch enthusiasts and Bond fans…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Blue 79220B

Tudor took the watch world by storm when it reintroduced itself with the highly anticipated Heritage Collection in the early 2010s. Among all the models, the Black Bay heritage line played the most crucial role in reasserting the Tudor brand back to “relevancy.” I immediately fell in love with the Black Bay Red reference 7922R…

Released in 1953 and then relaunched in 2007, Blancpain has produced many variations but I think the purest form is reserved for its 40mm limited…

It was August 2019 in Athens, Greece. I had an itch to get me a Radiomir. I wanted a Black Seal Ceramic, but I was trying to control myself, unsuccessfully. During a trip to the mall, I pass by an AD and spot the Radiomir Ceramic in the display window. I go in and ask…

Owner Review: Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE435 PADI

I had recently received a bonus from my employer back in 2018 and I wanted a real dive watch. I can’t even swim, but I always liked the idea of a watch that could do the job even if I couldn’t. I wanted something authentic and eye catching, but also reasonably priced that wouldn’t break…
