Owner Review: Tudor Ranger M79950-001

Some say I’m biased towards Tudor, but I believe the Tudor Ranger M79950-001 is one of the best, and well put together pieces released by Tudor in recent times! Released in 2022, the new iteration of the Tudor Ranger marks the 70th anniversary of the British North Greenland expedition and epitomizes what it means to be…

First released in 2016 as a replacement to the 116520, the steel Rolex Ceramic Daytona 116500LN is today one of the most iconic and sought after of all Rolex pieces – to say it is a legendary model is absolutely not an exaggeration in the current climate, where earlier variants of this models have been…

Owner review: Rolex Day-Date Everose 36mm Eisenkissel Dial

Ask any watch collector about a Rolex and I’m sure some will tell you that the Rolex Day-Date is the epitome of what Rolex has to offer. The Day-Date is colloquially referred to as the Rolex President as a few US Presidents have been pictured wearing Day-Dates. While Rolex doesn’t specifically refer to Day-Dates as…

Owner Review: A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 MoonPhase

The A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 MoonPhase is such a distinctive watch that marks A Lange & Sohne’s (“ALS”) revival in the 1990s with its unique decentralised and asymmetrical dial design, and of course, the outsize date display. A piece I’ve always wanted to add to my collection, and I’ve very pleased to share…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner 116610LN

When one thinks of Rolex, it is hard for the Submariner not to come to mind. There have been numerous versions of the Submariner over the years, and up for review today is my newly acquired 116610LN.

Owner Review: Tudor Royal M28500-0003

Say hello to the Tudor Royal M28500-0003 – a stunning timepiece with a lovely integrated bracelet. At 38mm it wears relatively well on my 16cm Asian sized wrist, where the black, sunray finished dial gives a different look as you expose it at different angles in the light. It comes with a notched bezel in…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay 36

Say ‘hello’ to the Tudor Black Bay 36 – a versatile piece that flies under the radar! It comes in at 36mm, which to me is a perfect size. I know there are those that say 36mm is too small but for me, this wears perfectly, and is so proportionate. I suppose Rolex agrees with…

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: Tudor Black Bay Bronze Bucherer Blue

The Tudor Black Bay Bronze Bucherer Blue (more affectionately known as the Tudor 5B) was first released in 2018. As I had never owned a bronze watch, it was interesting to see Bucherer launch this model to commemorate its 130 anniversary. Exclusively available at Bucherer outlets, it bears several Bucherer related signatures: 1. Bucherer blue…
