    I always try to buy my watches used — or at least on the grey market — but when the Mido Multifort Patrimony was released earlier this year, my resolve was severely tested. Knowing that this watch wouldn’t pop up on the secondary market for a while yet, I finally gave in and bought it

    Owner Review: Precimax and Dugena – Ebony and Ivory

    Recently I rediscovered two watches «in my drawer», a Dugena and a Precimax. After I restrapped them –  I started to wear again. The reason why I didn’t wear these watches for a long time: they both only have 34mm cases, which I regard as too small. (They do however wear more like 34.45 on
