Owner Review: Casio World Time AKA Casio Royal Review

Today I present to you the humble yet incredibly well loved Casio AE-1200WH AKA Casio World Time or Casio Royale. This particular timepiece isn’t anything special nor is it trying to be and for that very reason it is priced accordingly. Some people think of it as a ‘Bond Watch‘ as it pays homage to…

Owner Review: FP Journe Chronometre Bleu – 50 Shades Of Bleu

At first glance, it’s just another elegant dress watch with a plain time only dial. But the FP Journe Chronometre Bleu is a timepiece that you must come up close and personal with to really appreciate.Earlier watches came in a long rectangular coffin box but now come in the more familiar cuboid wooden box.

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.

Owner Review: Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph Sedna Gold

Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph Sedna Gold, what a beautiful and powerful word combination. Just like the watch itself. It catches the eye. It’s big. It’s robust, yet refined. It’s sporty, yet classy. And it withstands 600 metres of bone crushing water pressure. Not that I ever go anywhere near that kind of depth, I am…

The Squale 1521 50 Atmos is a 42mm diver with 500m water resistance, the movement used is the…

Owner Review: Q Timex – Is it just hype?

So the Q Timex (or Timex Q) has been a hot topic in watch circles for the past few months, but is it a case of hype and clever marketing over solid watch substance! Well as with most things that we purchase that may not be classed as essential everyday items ( watches for most…

Owner Review: Grand Seiko GMT SBGM235

Watches tell the time, some also tell the month, date, and even moon phase. For the Grand Seiko GMT SBGM235, it is so very much more than that, it is a piece of art. This piece was released as part of the celebration of the Calibre 9S 20th year anniversary and limited to 1000 pieces…
