Owner Review: Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 BLNR Batgirl

Say hello to the Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 BLNR Batgirl (I know some hate this nickname but I for one have no issues with nicknames) – introduced in 2019 as the replacement to the Batman. When I first picked this piece up I was in awe of how stunning it looked. I have seen the…

Owner Review: Rolex Milgauss Z Blue 116400GV

When it comes to hyped steel sports models, the Rolex Milgauss Z Blue 116400GV is often overlooked.

Owner Review: Rolex Air-King 116900

Yes it’s a controversial subtitle but it’s true and it relates directly to the Rolex Air-King 116900. The watch community (especially Rolex enthusiasts) complain about a lot of things such as hands, dials colours, sizes and bracelets. One of the things they would like more of (me included) is Rolex actually paying more attention by…

Owner Review: Rolex Zenith Daytona 16520

Anyone who is ‘into watches’ knows the Daytona, it’s perhaps the eponymous chronograph of the modern day. Rugged, distinctive and now sadly nearly impossible to get hold of in its current guise without felating an authorized dealer with unpleasant regularity, paying an enormous premium on the secondary market or being a professional sportsman. My proclivity…

Owner Review: Rolex GMT Master 16750 Pepsi

The Rolex Pepsi GMT Master 16750 is a great looking watch but in my opinion only on a bracelet. It is both undeniably iconic and a strong contender for a one-watch collection. This particular reference is considered a transitional model and was produced in the eighties. The Rolex 3075 movement is rock solid and even…

Owner Review: Rolex Day-Date 36mm 118238

Initially released in 1956, the Rolex Day-Date 36mm has truly shown that it has the ability to stand the test of time. It really is a classic and timeless piece, which remains virtually unchanged when viewed in the current Rolex boutique window (there isn’t much else in the window). Some people say that size isn’t…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner Hulk 116610 LV

How did I find my way to the Rolex Submariner Hulk? Well when I first got into “nice watches” a few years ago, I was attracted to the aesthetics of dive watches. After hanging around watch forums for some time, I found out about the Rolex submariner and I immediately fell in love. I finally…
