Owner Review: Rolex Batman GMT Master II

Once a rather plump luxury watch sales person told me that if I worked really hard I could maybe one day own a Rolex Batman GMT Master II. I had commented on how beautiful his watch was and ever since that comment I wanted the Batman. I put in a lot of work to build…

Owner Review: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe

Think of the first dive watch designed expressly for use by the military. A design so forward in thought, that even today, much of the criteria that officially defines the dive watch (ISO 6425 for those playing the home game), could be found on this very early timepiece. Have you guessed the model yet? Nope,…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner 16800

As the title suggests this review may leave more than a few of you upset and scratching your heads.

I had it modified with solid spring bars…

Owner Review: Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 111

I have always been into mechanical watches. When I was younger it was pocket watches, but then I grew up, started a family, got a house and a mortgage and then the watches were put on hold for a number of years. The interest was still there and I started to follow some online. Pocket…

Owner Review: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph Rose Gold

So I was asked by @thewatchregulator to submit a review of my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak chronograph rose gold in 41mm. This being my first official review of any watch, I first hesitated in how I would go about this. This is for sure, a very high-end luxurious timepiece in precious metal, by a well…

Owner Review: Casio G-Shock GA-2100 CasiOak

Who needs a watch to tell the time? That’s why we have phones. From the dive watch enthusiasts who haven’t touched an ocean in their life to the armchair businessmen wearing their dress watches while eating a burrito – watches are often an extension of your personality more than a tool. That’s where the Casio…
