Owner review: Tudor Black Bay GMT 79830RB

I have lusted after a Tudor Black Bay GMT 79830RB since 2018 when it was released alongside the Rolex GMT Pepsi. For some reason, I just found the Tudor more appealing and of course, it being half the price of the Rolex it seemed like the Tudor GMT was a much better value proposition. I…

Owner review: M.A.D.1 Red

A lot has already been written about how the M.A.D.1 Red watch came about, and the relationship to Max Busser and MB&F so I won’t rehash it here. Suffice to say, I was one of the people who emailed MAD Galleries when the original M.A.D.1 Blue was released, to express interest in purchasing one if they…

Owner review: Nomos Orion Neomatik Silvercut

I’m no stranger to Nomos, the Nomos Orion Neomatik Silvercut is the fourth one I’ve owned. It came up for sale from a fellow watch collector, barely used, so I just went for it. I’ve been looking for my next Nomos, but wanted something different from my Club and Lambda. The fact that the Nomos Orion…

On our computers, on our tablets, on our smart phone. Certainly, as I write this, the time appears in digital format in a…

Owner review: Audemars Piguet Code 11.59

The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 measures 41mm from side to side, minus the crown, and 50mm from lug to lug. I wish the watch was 40mm or smaller but 41 is not a dealbreaker for me, as I wear what I like regardless of perceived fit. The lug to lug could have been shaved down…

However, there is one version that defined what some would call the most stylish generation: The Omega Constellation Pie Pan 168.005.
