Owner Review: Tudor Submariner 79190 – Vintage meets modern

I get it. You’re looking for a vintage dive watch. They’re so hot right now. A transitional matte dial Submariner, that’d be sweet. You’ll probably find yourself looking at 1680s, maybe 16800s. Naturally, they look awesome. Then you look at the price. What if I told you that you could get all of that vintage…

Owner Review: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Ocean Commitment III

When we hear quintessential dive watch, many will think of the Rolex Submariner but it was Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms that was the first true iteration of the modern dive watch. Released in 1953 and then relaunched in 2007, Blancpain has produced many variations but I think the purest form is reserved for its 40mm limited…

Owner Review: Tudor Pelagos Blue – a daily beater

Since I started to collect watches, I have been searching for that one watch that I could wear on a daily basis, without having to worry about what would happen during the day. I settled on choosing the Tudor Pelagos Blue 25600TB. It is a very sturdy watch and I love the fact that it…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner 16613 Serti

Rolex Submariner 16613 Serti (Gem-set) dial or also sometimes called the Sultan (Sovereign in Middle-East) dial submariner 16613- a stunning gem-set dial that can take you from day to night. The two-tone 18 carat gold, 8 diamond hour markers with 3 sapphire indexes breathes a sense of romance into an otherwise boring run of the…

Owner Review: S.U.F Vetehinen – Not for Everyone

The S.U.F Vetehinen is great for people like me who love Stepan Sarpaneva’s higher-end Sarpaneva branded watches but cannot afford them! While the standard SUF (SarpanevaUhrenFabrik) Vetehinen in stainless steel already looks good, IMO this Ltd Edition (26pces) looks beautiful in a gothic sort of way and the closer you look the better it gets.…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Dark – Come to the dark side

I would be lying if I said I was a long-time fan of the Tudor Black Bay Dark. In fact, I am not usually a fan of blacked out watches. So, it came as a surprise when I first laid my eyes on the watch in the flesh. Then holding it in my hands confirms…

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…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Harrods Edition

Although blue is my favorite color, I’ve always loved green watches. I owned the Rolex Submariner Hulk for a couple of years before selling it off, in favor of the 50th anniversary Submariner, aka the Kermit. So when the Tudor Black Bay Harrods edition was launched last year in late 2017, I was drooling all…

Owner Review: Seiko Arnie SNJ025 – Get to tha Review!

While the entire watch enthusiast community was poised for the luxury Swiss watch companies to announce their latest incredibly dull creations at 2019 Baselworld (the last of the Baselworlds) Seiko’s offerings shadowed their somewhat uninspiring new models, the Seiko Arnie SNJ025 was one such watch. Announced by Seiko as a reissue of the awesome H558-5000…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay Bronze Heritage

Tudor unveiled the Heritage Black Bay Bronze at Baselworld 2016. I can remember seeing the press coverage on various watch websites and Instagram, the watch seemed to be generally well received. Personally, it wasn’t instant love for me, but I was intrigued and I wanted to learn more. Beyond knowing that Tudor was the sister…
