Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Mark II
The vintage Omega Speedmaster Mark II has been reviewed on fifth wrist before but I’d like to tell this story as it is one of the many reasons I am interested in the hobby. My father purchased this watch in 1970 when he worked as a clerk and interpreter at the Diyarbakir air station (USAF)

Owner Review: Montblanc Meisterstuck 7035
If I say Montblanc Meisterstuck 7035, do you automatically think “Sports Watch”? I’d say when you think of Montblanc, your first thoughts don’t go to tough, rugged or sporty. You probably have visions of stylish, prim and proper, business-minded, and fancy or classy. I know at least I do. Many think of the brand as

Owner Review: Citizen Caliber 0100
What is the purpose of a watch? Most fundamentally it is to keep the time, and to tell the time; to state as much is an objective statement of fact (otherwise I don’t know what we’re all doing). We can keep time in a few different ways, but quartz watchmaking, like the Citizen Caliber 0100,

Owner Review: Citizen Promaster Marine
The Citizen Promaster Marine may not have the prestige of its Swiss competition, but if there is one thing Japan is know for, its mechanics and reliability. The Citizen Promaster Marine NY0086-16LE is my current favourite watch, it comes across as a watch that should cost 5 times what it does, and makes you feel

Owner Review: Seiko 6139-6040 Silver Ghost or Unsaturated Anomaly?
The Seiko 6139-6040 Silver Ghost moniker was obtained from the way the contrasting bare, first quarter of its bezel would lose tachymeter numerals after brief wear. But the spirit of the name goes beyond an under-engineered bezel execution, rescued from a pejorative quirk, to an aesthetic of ‘silvering’ and ‘reflectivity.’ Catalog shots of the Seiko

Owner Review: Seiko SCVS001
No matter if you’re a seasoned collector, a dabbling hobbyist, or new to the world of horology, if you’ve ever had your watch-yearning eye on Seiko you’ve most likely come across the SARB line but you may have never heard of the Seiko SCVS001. The now discontinued and sought-after SARB collection of dressy watches are

Owner Review: Seiko SPB143J1
After owning the Seiko SPB143J1 for nearly 1.5 months, I’ve decided that it is time to give my owner’s review, please note it is the SBDC101 if you are looking for one in Japanese market. My attention was first drawn to this piece in mid 2020 when it was reviewed by James Stacey in Hodinkee,

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 300M Chronograph
I never wrote a single review in my life. I always wanted to but I always had some excuses why not. So when Alex asked me, it just seemed like a good idea. Here goes …. its all about my Omega Seamaster 300M Chronograph! Story time. When I was a child, the first James Bond

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface
It’s been a minute since my last review and well honestly, I think I need to pull my weight around here at Fifthwrist. For the last 7 months I’ve had the pleasure of owning this Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface and the least I can do is share with you what I think about it. What

Owner Review: Rolex Daytona 116500LN
The Rolex Daytona 116500LN is one of those watches that is well known amongst watch collectors and normal people alike. Mention the words Rolex Daytona and depending on who you talk to they will variously think of words like luxury, hard-to-get, Paul Newman, SS shortage, extreme grey market pricing and so on. Everyone seems to
