Owner Review: Nodus Duality – An “Only-Watch” Contender ?
A “one-watch” collection contender? The Nodus Duality is the first watch I bought online, having never seen one in-person. In some watch circles, Nodus has built itself quite a reputation. Before it was released, Nodus teased the community with hints, macros, and glimpses of the yet to be released model for a few weeks if

Owner Review: Certina DS PH200m – Vintage Re-issue is Not S**te!
Firstly, Certina has previously released a lot of boring shitty looking watches, but have recently created some pretty cool timepieces. I have been admiring some of their vintage diver watches. So I decided to have look at their latest offerings and almost shat myself with excitement when I found out that the Certina DS PH200m

Owner Review: Hamilton Skymaster GMT and Colac Dan
Soaring 10,000 feet above the endless dark sea, famed aviator/explorer “Colac Dan” Wellington grabbed his flight map and glanced down at his wrist to note the time. “Damn it all,” he muttered to no one as he peered down at the new Hamilton Skymaster GMT. “Can’t see the GMT hand worth a s***.” He held

Owner Review: Ralph Lauren Sporting Chronograph
I saw this Ralph Lauren Sporting Chronograph in the Instagram feed of @marekielbasa.md – Chopard, Dubuis, Lange – dude is nuts. He once paid ArchieLuxury for a collection review and nearly succeeded in trolling him into a heart attack – it was epic! Now, this RL was familiar to me because in the days before

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Mark 2 – The Moon or Palookaville
Fifteen years after Marlon Brandon and ‘On The Waterfront’, there was the Omega Speedmaster Mark 2. This improved 2.0 version of the Speedmaster was to be offered up by Omega for the Moon landing gig in 1969. NASA however, were up against a JFK set clock to complete this task by the end of the

Owner Review: Lorier Falcon V1 – A young brand with an old soul
Lorier is a young micro-brand started by husband and wife, Lorenzo and Lauren Ortega in 2018. I had the opportunity to meet Lorenzo and Lauren at the Wind-Up watch fair in New York in 2019. Our chat was brief but what struck me most was their sincerity and humility. It was clear to me that

Owner Review: Rolex 1501 Blue Mosaic/Shantung
An Oyster case in 34mm, waterproof, well built and timeless design, I mean it is a Rolex 1501. A lot of men are concerned about wearing a 34mm watch but to be honest the 34mm Oyster case wears larger, especially with the engine turned bezel which I find also helps make the case look more

Owner Review: Rolex Batman GMT Master II
Once a rather plump luxury watch sales person told me that if I worked really hard I could maybe one day own a Rolex Batman GMT Master II. I had commented on how beautiful his watch was and ever since that comment I wanted the Batman. I put in a lot of work to build

Owner Review: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe
Think of the first dive watch designed expressly for use by the military. A design so forward in thought, that even today, much of the criteria that officially defines the dive watch (ISO 6425 for those playing the home game), could be found on this very early timepiece. Have you guessed the model yet? Nope,

That dial is just fntastic.
Very cool watch. I have always wondered about the bronze models. Is the caseback bronze as well? If so do…
