Owner Review: Certina DS PH200m – Vintage Re-issue is Not S**te!

Firstly, Certina has previously released a lot of boring shitty looking watches, but have recently created some pretty cool timepieces. I have been admiring some of their vintage diver watches. So I decided to have look at their latest offerings and almost shat myself with excitement when I found out that the Certina DS PH200m…

Owner Review: Squale 30 Atmos GMT 1545 – A beautiful watch with flaws

First of all, I need to let you know something. I love Squale as a company and this watch is a stunner! But I do have some issues with the watch. The previous 30 Atmos watches were all 42mm and were a perfect fit for me. Although it seems that Squale eventually listened to customers…

Owner Review: Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military OVM

I can hear the watch snobs…sipping on their Haterades as I type this review. The first time I bought the Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military I was very happy with it. Then I started to read the reviews, damning this homage watch to being no better than a fake. So I sold it…I felt a bit…

Owner Review: Sinn 104 ST SA

I bought the Sinn 104 ST SA from a famous Youtuber. I watched him lust over it in his reviews and to be honest, so did I. Then it came up for sale and I didn’t hesitate to buy it. And I havent regretted it since! This watch is a strap magnet and looks superb…

Owner Review: Seiko SKX011 – because I can’t afford a Doxa

As a kid, my Dad used to drive our little family to Italy and the South of France for holidays. Sometimes venture up through Andorra and across to Spain too! I have a vivid memory of seeing some guys getting ready to go out spear fishing, and they looked cool as hell! But one thing…

Owner Review: Marathon Navigator

Want a Military issued watch? Can’t afford any of the ‘Dirty Dozen’, those watches issued to the British Military with the broad arrow, like Longines, Record and Omega to name a few. OK how about a Vietnam issue Benrus or WW2 Bulova? Expensive and many have been re-done. The same goes for IDF Eterna watches…

Owner Review: Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date

This Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day Date is a very unique, yet ballsy design! If a German Flieger from WW2 and an American pocket watch were to mate, and have a baby, it would look like this! The case is very nice and wears smaller than the 46mm suggests. Although 46mm is far too large…

Owner Review: Citizen Promaster Diver NY0040-41e

I bought the Citizen Promaster Diver NY0040-41e on a whim! I thought, ‘I wonder if it’s a good Seiko SKX alternative?’ I’m going to say that this watch was extremely low priced, due to being refurbished, however I came to find out that, it was sold as refurbished but it wasn’t. It has a dial…

Owner Review: Squale 1521 50 Atmos Bluegasm

This is my Squale 1521, I sell a few here and there, but this isn’t going anywhere. I just want to describe my experience with this watch, but it’s not perfection personified…unlike me 🙂 Firstly, it feels like the perfect size universally at 41mm. Sits up well on the wrist too. I get compliments from…

Owner Review: CWC Royal Navy Spec MK1 Diver makes me half fat!

The CWC RN MK1 Diver is a military collectors dream watch. Made by the Cabot Watch Company in the UK, who have supplied the British armed forces with watches since the 70’s and are known as one of the ‘Fab 4’. The Fab 4 were Hamilton, Newmark, Precista and of course CWC. I can see…
