Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultrathin Duoface
If there is a watch that can make one feel like an early 20th Century dandy, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultrathin Duoface delivers this in spades, and then some. The story goes that British soldiers stationed in India were sick of their watches being smashed up by the roughness of the game of Polo, and so

Owner Review: Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Diver
Way back in 1976 Citizen invented the first light-powered analogue quartz watch that runs only on light as a power source. Amazingly it can retain power for up to 6 months on a full charge. This history brings us to my Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Diver. The dial is matt black with Trapezoid markers at 12,3,6

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical
I won’t cover the history of the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical because I’ll probably cock it up. Standard issue to US troops in Vietnam during the late 60s and the rest… The specs are as follows: 38mm wide, 47mm lug to lug, 10mm thick, sapphire crystal. Now the movement, well I have to be honest

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay 36 – The “Less is More” watch
I still remember the first time I went to the Rolex and Tudor boutique looking for the Tudor Black Bay 36. The sales professional, who I didn’t end up getting it from by the way, told me that the 36mm size was considered by modern standards a women’s watch. Boy, I am so glad that

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster First Omega In Space
Let me get started by saying that the original Ed White Speedmaster (105.003) is my grail watch. I am a vintage Speedmaster purist but this watch had me converted to the modern reissue gang pretty quickly. This straight lug case and simpler dial were such big selling points. Until Omega CEO Ray Ray comes to

Owner Review: FP Journe Chronometre Bleu – 50 Shades Of Bleu
At first glance, it’s just another elegant dress watch with a plain time only dial. But the FP Journe Chronometre Bleu is a timepiece that you must come up close and personal with to really appreciate.Earlier watches came in a long rectangular coffin box but now come in the more familiar cuboid wooden box. A

Owner Review: Rolex Milgauss Z Blue – A Rolex you never considered
Since I got the Rolex bug last year, there has been one watch that has caught my eye since the days that stemmed from getting my Oyster Perpetual 116000 blue dial. There was another blue dial watch that I couldn’t get off my mind. Why? Maybe because the dial is so mesmerizing, with that green

Owner Review: Seiko SKX007 – What’s left to say?
What can you say about the Seiko SKX007 that has already had so much written about it before? According to Jack Forster “It’s probably the single best value at any price point”. I don’t think you would find many people who would disagree with Jack’s view. It has also been a popular choice of watch

Owner Review: Grand Seiko Blue Snowflake SBGA407
Mere seconds spent with this piece is a dead giveaway that it comes from Grand Seiko’s Elegance range. The sleek, sharp hands and equally as disciplined minute markers ooze style. Released in June 2019, the Grand Seiko Blue Snowflake (nicknamed the Skyflake) comes in at 40.2mm in diameter and 12.8mm in thickness. Whilst it does

Owner Review: Santos de Cartier – Can guys still wear 28mm Cartier?
When I am not arguing with people about 36mm Day Dates being the perfect sized Rolex, I can be found extolling the virtues of incredibly small watches, just like the Santos de Cartier. I have been asked at meet ups about how small a watch I would wear. It all depends on the watch. When

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…
