Owner review: Omega Seamaster Professional 300m

Long before I was a degenerate watch collector I relished in hanging out with my friends after school. This was the late 90’s and as such our after school activities, before being shuffled off to our respective houses meant doing one thing, playing the Nintendo 64. Two games stood head and shoulders above the rest…

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: Seiko Prospex SRPE93K

My Last watch buy for 2022 the Seiko Prospex SRPE93K or the Turtle as it is affectionally referred to , is big, clumsy and a little ugly like the author. I have had my eye on a few limited editions over the years but when one of my Brothers came down with his vintage 6309…

Owner review: 1967 Bulova Snorkel 666 “J”

Did you know that America runs on Bulova time? Or so went Bulova’s motto in the world’s first ever television commercial broadcast on July 1, 1941 during a baseball game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. These days, America runs on Dunkin and the Dodgers play for Los Angeles — but we can still…

Owner review: Typsim 200M-C

I should begin by disclosing that Matt, the Typsim founder and watchmaker, is a friend. I paid in full for my 200M-C just like every other customer, and I’ve definitely publicly embarrassed Matt with my display of enthusiasm for his watches. I picture him reading this and doing a facepalm. By 2017 the market price…

Owner review: Citizen Promaster Diver

My eyes slowly open. Laying in bed, I take a deep breath of humid August morning air. The sun filters through the blinds. The cacophony of chirps from the wildlife outside my open window is not as deafening as it occasionally is. I lie in bed, assessing what I should do today. The trees outside…

Owner review: Seiko SBBN025

There are few iconic moments that can match the sheer reach of James Earl Jones’ epic line “No. . . I am your Father” and the character he’s voicing from the immense Star Wars saga Darth Vader is surely one of the most recognisable baddies the world has ever seen. The Seiko SBBN025 Darth Tuna…

Owner review: Bulova Oceanographer ‘Devil Diver’

This July while on vacation, I took a day trip to Halifax, (Nova Scotia). I had barely left my home province of New Brunswick since Covid started, and a short trip was due. My province only has one good AD. Halifax is the closest city with multiple dealers. The purpose of my trip was two-fold;…

Owner review: Grand Seiko SBGX337

Grand Seiko SBGX337 Quartz Diver Or maybe the . . . “Blue Hammer Head Shark” This watch is greater than the sum of its parts. I’m a Grand Seiko veteran, so I’m used to the quality and finish, but this watch spends more time on the wrist than I ever thought it would. The Grand…

Owner review: Oris Diver 65 Cotton Candy

When the Oris Diver 65 Cotton Candy watches were announced I was immediately drawn to and curious about the pink version. I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to see one in the flesh for a long time though because I live quite far from any AD. During a GTG weekend in Lyon with some…
