    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: Seiko SKX011 – because I can’t afford a Doxa

    As a kid, my Dad used to drive our little family to Italy and the South of France for holidays. Sometimes venture up through Andorra and across to Spain too! I have a vivid memory of seeing some guys getting ready to go out spear fishing, and they looked cool as hell! But one thing

    Owner Review: Seiko Prospex Land SNE421

    The Seiko Prospex Land SNE421 is a solidly designed watch, provides good value but misses the mark with a few attempts at cost saving. The dial and hand set are well designed and legible in almost all conditions. The dial is a mix between printed and applied indices, with gorgeous applied hour markers. The hand

    Owner Review: Seiko Presage Shippo Enamel SPB075J1

    What I have here is the Seiko Presage Shippo Enamel – SPB075J1. The vast and immeasurable lineup of the Seiko Presage range can be likened to ‘how long is a piece of string’. Case in point, there’s the OG Seiko Cocktail Time – that in itself comes in a variety of colours, there is the

    Owner Review: Seiko Gold Turtle SRPC44

    The Seiko Gold Turtle SRPC44 (or ‘Gurtle’ as termed by a fellow Aussie watch enthusiast), is probably one of the best F@*% off watches out in the watch space right now.

    Owner Review: Casio World Time AKA Casio Royal Review

    Today I present to you the humble yet incredibly well loved Casio AE-1200WH AKA Casio World Time or Casio Royale. This particular timepiece isn’t anything special nor is it trying to be and for that very reason it is priced accordingly. Some people think of it as a ‘Bond Watch‘ as it pays homage to

    Owner Review: Citizen Promaster Diver Ecozilla BJ 8050-08e

    The Citizen Promaster Diver Ecozilla BJ 8050-08e is one very awesome model made by the Japanese watchmaking powerhouse. With a case width of 48mm, a thickness of 18.6mm and around 165g of weight, it deserves the friendly but imposing name of Eco-Zilla. When I chose it, I was looking for a summer mate and this

    Owner Review: Omega Dynamic III 5250.50

    The Omega Dynamic III 5250.50 is the third and last generation of the Dynamics family. However it is anything but a facelift of the previous elliptical and angled case shaped watches with removable case rings. The design is inspired by Omega’s contribution to the “Dirty Dozen” – WWII watches commissioned by the British MoD. A

    Owner Review: Stowa Marine Classic 36mm

    The fully polished case of the Stowa Marine Classic 36mm wears well because the lugs are angled just right to hug the wrist. Speaking of the lugs, namely of their thickness, this case wears like a 38mm, giving it more presence, from lug to lug, it measures 44.6mm. The case thickness is at 11mm including
