Owner review: Seiko Flightmaster SBDS003
An automatic Seiko Flightmaster SBDS003… REALLY, AN AUTOMATIC SEIKO FLIGHTMASTER… Let that sink in, bet most of you Seiko Flightmaster fanboys never knew it existed, no? An all-titanium, 100m wr, screw-down everything, GS grade (6S37A), rhodium-plated, column-wheel chronograph, high-beat movement, with a power reserve indicator, integrated matching colour date wheel, sapphire crystal front and back,

Owner review: Grand Seiko SBGF017
Sometime last year, I somehow ended up falling down the HAQ rabbit hole. It’s inevitable, really, you just have to be in this hobby long enough. And at its bottom, the 8J56 movement was waiting for me. Grand Seiko is surprisingly quiet about the quartz movements that don’t start with a 9F – there is

Owner review: Seiko Prospex SRPE93K
My Last watch buy for 2022 the Seiko Prospex SRPE93K or the Turtle as it is affectionally referred to , is big, clumsy and a little ugly like the author. I have had my eye on a few limited editions over the years but when one of my Brothers came down with his vintage 6309

Owner review: Nicholas Hacko NHW MKII
Obviously there is no detailed history of horology in Australia, but when there is, the Nicholas Hacko NHW MKII will feature as it’s a pioneering watch in so many ways and represents an incredible achievement for independent watchmaking regardless of geography. It occurs to me that watches have been assembled in Australia on and off

Owner review: Glashütte Original Senator
When I bought my first good wristwatch back in 2004 – a PAM111, one of the brands that was on the top of my list was Glashütte Original. The favourite was the Panoreserve, but it was twice the price of the Panerai and more of a dress watch than a daily wearer. I wasn’t ready

Owner review: Rolex 16234 DateJust
Are you tired of looking at your boring, unremarkable watch every day? Do you long for something that will make you the envy of all your friends? Well, look no further because the Rolex 16234 DateJust is here to save the day (or rather, the time)! Ah, Rolex. The name alone conjures up images of

Owner review: 1967 Bulova Snorkel 666 “J”
Did you know that America runs on Bulova time? Or so went Bulova’s motto in the world’s first ever television commercial broadcast on July 1, 1941 during a baseball game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. These days, America runs on Dunkin and the Dodgers play for Los Angeles — but we can still

Owner review: Canister Fieldmaster
It’s hard for me to be objective about Canister as a brand and their first offering – the Fieldmaster. But I’ll do my best nonetheless and explain why is that along the way. Canister is the first brand I’ve supported on Kickstarter and the only watch project I rooted for to succeed and see the

Owner review: Typsim 200M-C
I should begin by disclosing that Matt, the Typsim founder and watchmaker, is a friend. I paid in full for my 200M-C just like every other customer, and I’ve definitely publicly embarrassed Matt with my display of enthusiasm for his watches. I picture him reading this and doing a facepalm. By 2017 the market price

Owner review: Seiko SMW004A Metronome
Watch complications vary from traditional to contemporary, whimsical to necessary, and watch brands are always combining complications to display horological prowess and open up new market trends. But how about combining rhythm and timekeeping as a complication within the Seiko SMW004A Metronome watch. A striking quartz watch which has the ability to produce a beat

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…
