Owner review: Rolex Submariner Ceramic 114060
The supercase, love it or hate it, is a fixture of the Rolex Submariner Ceramic 114060. Despite its chunky lugs there is much to love about this Rolex staple. I had always lusted after the Submariner for as long as I can remember. I was initially (like many) lukewarm towards the Rolex Submariner 114060 but…

Owner review: Rolex GMT Master II
There is no denying that we sometimes wear watches to look and feel like someone we aspire to be. No other than the infamous con artist Frank W. Abagnale could have said it any better “There is enchantment in a uniform, especially one that marks the wearer as a person of rare skills, courage or…

Owner review: Rolex Explorer 214270
If I tried to distil the whole Rolex line into a single watch, it would be the Rolex Explorer, or more specifically, the Rolex Explorer 214270 in this review. We have a straightforward design that demonstrates inherent beauty in a product of astute conception. In simpler terms, charm is when form follows function. High contrast…

Owner review: Rolex Yacht Master 16622
The 1980s was a time of innovation at Rolex, with a refresh of everything in the Rolex catalog and putting a more modern and premium look to the entire line up. Gone are the days of Matte Painted dials, and hand-wound movements of the Daytona but in with the new Glossy dials, White Gold Indices…

Owner review: Rolex Yacht-Master 116621
The Rolex Yacht-Master 116621 was the first Rolex on this ongoing journey of time, through time. The ups and downs, good and bad memories shared with the watch have made this bittersweet voyage of life most captivating.

Owner review: Rolex Yacht-Master 37 268621
The Yacht-Master line of Rolex has never been a hugely popular series from the acclaimed watch house. That is not necessarily a bad thing though. This was actually the main reason that I got attracted to the Rolex Yacht-Master 37 268621 in the first place. There are very few of these that you will actually…

Owner Review: Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622
Before we get to my Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622 review, we need some background. In 1992 Rolex introduced a watch that shared the silhouette of their beloved Submariner but in solid 18k yellow gold, embossed YG bezel insert soldered to the bezel, funky white dial, and the unusual name “Yacht-Master” written where “Submariner” would normally live.…

Owner Review: Rolex Ceramic Daytona 116500LN
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 Explorer Two-Tone 124273
Punk music was largely a reaction to the popular music of the late sixties and seventies, namely Prog Rock and Disco. It was contrarian by nature. Its aim was to destroy. The Rolex Explorer Two-Tone 124273 is Rolex’s version of Punk Rock. When it was launched in the spring of 2021, it completely flew in the…
