Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M

Today we are going to talk about one of my favourite divers ever: the Omega Seamaster Professional Diver 300M. This story goes back to when I saw the James Bond movie Golden Eye as a kid, Pierce Brosnan wore his Seamaster with the characteristic waves on the watch face. I was so impressed that I…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner “No Date” 114060

My first Rolex was an Explorer purchased about two years ago. Don’t get me wrong, the Explorer is a great watch: understated, comfortable, a great candidate for a “one watch collection” if you’re not able to spend a lot of money and choose to have only one great watch. But I suppose I was not…

Owner Review: Citizen Promaster Diver Ecozilla BJ 8050-08e

The Citizen Promaster Diver Ecozilla BJ 8050-08e is one very awesome model made by the Japanese watchmaking powerhouse. With a case width of 48mm, a thickness of 18.6mm and around 165g of weight, it deserves the friendly but imposing name of Eco-Zilla. When I chose it, I was looking for a summer mate and this…

Owner Review: ZRC Grand Fonds Type III

For a very long time, little was known about French watches like the ZRC Grand Fonds as most collectors were after the Swiss and American pieces. However, as the web crept into the scene in the mid 90s, watches like the ZRC, Lip, LeJour, Yema, and others became more common knowledge as people started to…

Owner Review: Zodiac Super Seawolf 53

I had seen the Zodiac Super Seawolf 53 about a bit on social media and then I met someone at a Redbar London event in the new year who owned the Zodiac Aerospace GMT Hodinkee Edition and thought it looked fantastic and the quality looked great too. I ummed and aahed for a couple of…

Owner Review: Seiko 5 Sports SRPD Diver

When I was lucky enough to see the Seiko 5 Sports SRPD Diver on a local shop’s flash buy email for 60% off retail last Friday week, I just had to buy it. Sure I have a few watches in my collection, but I was wanting one for riding my bike to work and not…

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: Panerai Radiomir S.L.C. PAM 425

It was August 2019 in Athens, Greece. I had an itch to get me a Radiomir. I wanted a Black Seal Ceramic, but I was trying to control myself, unsuccessfully. During a trip to the mall, I pass by an AD and spot the Radiomir Ceramic in the display window. I go in and ask…

Owner Review: Seiko Prospex Solar Diver SNE435 PADI

I had recently received a bonus from my employer back in 2018 and I wanted a real dive watch. I can’t even swim, but I always liked the idea of a watch that could do the job even if I couldn’t. I wanted something authentic and eye catching, but also reasonably priced that wouldn’t break…

Owner Review: Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600

I have always been a huge fan of dive watches. Something about their practical, no-nonsense design and usability has appealed to me since my interest in watches started. One of those dive watches is manufactured by none other than Rolex, a heavy-weight in this category for its timeless designs and innovation. This is my review…
