Owner Review: Rolex Submariner 16610 M Series by @omar_luxury_

The Rolex Submariner is probably the most iconic watch of all time, to the point it is ubiquitous. From experienced collectors who have Comex 5514s to people who just want a quality watch, a Submariner is preferred by almost anybody, and are cornerstones to many collections. Though the design hasn’t changed significantly in more than…

Owner Review: Oris Big Crown Father Time by @omar_luxury_

The watch industry has become quite polarized in the past few years. Unprecedented hype and demand for certain brands have tainted the “fun of collecting.” This has made watches seem primarily like status symbols or commodities to flip. Yet, there are brands that offer great value and fun watches that fulfill the joy of watch…

Owner Review: Tudor Oyster 7394 Small Rose by @timely_behaviour

It’s hot and terribly humid, you fight your way through the forest undergrowth. This is the moment you wanted, months of planning for this expedition. Still you trudge on, covered in weeks of rainforest filth, sweat, blood from a couple of minor accidents. You notice the rest of your group are tired, the light in…

Owner Review: Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT Automatic by @watchesandwords

A dressy steel sports watch? Sure. The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT is a large, modern but elegant watch. I have admired the distinguished watches of the Parmigiani Fleurier brand since they first appeared around the mid-1990s. I liked the fact that the watches of this brand are rather less known and inconspicuous. And I am…

Owner Review: Smiths Everest PRS-25

Watches! Why? Do we really need a constant reminder from a watch, like this Smith’s Everest PRS-25, that we are in a hurry, or behind schedule, or even missing out on certain things? Do we even need to track time nowadays when even your coffee machine has a clock? No! So, why watches then? Watches…

Owner Review: Certina DS Podium Automatic

The Certina DS Podium Automatic is the first watch I might buy two of. I’ve had it on every waking moment since I got it 3 weeks ago. It is thin, comfortable and fast reading. The dial comes in white, black or gray. You can see I went for the gray. One of the downsides…

Owner Review: Sevenfriday M2

Sevenfriday is a brand that is the birth child of social media, with their claim to fame being associated with WatchAnish. Established in 2012, their watches are a tribute to industrial design. Sevenfriday is a lifestyle brand targeted towards younger audiences. I was attracted to the brand because of the design and brand identity. They…

Owner Review: Ming 17.06 Monolith

My most charitable view about the Ming 17.06 Monolith: It’s a minimalist masterpiece with attention to detail you won’t find on any other watch in this price range. My most cynical view: It’s a boring, two-hand, time-only watch with a base level ETA movement. At $1500 the 17.06 Monolith offers the full Ming design language…
