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: Rolex Explorer 114270

The Rolex Explorer 114270 is the perfect go anywhere, do anything watch – until the day it is not. Weighing 3.6 ounces (102 grams), this 36mm watch affords the opportunity to own the lightest, nimblest sports watch that Rolex produced in the 21st Century. Its successor, the 214270, weighs 4.7 ounces and has expanded to…

Owner Review: Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller

The legendary Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller is a Big watch… The capital B has very much been used on purpose. Coming in at a seemingly huge 44mm in size, it doesn’t sit as wide as many large Panerai dive watches, but it is the acrophobia inducing height of 17.7mm that makes it feel a touch unwieldy,…

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: Rolex GMT Master 16750 Pepsi

The Rolex Pepsi GMT Master 16750 is a great looking watch but in my opinion only on a bracelet. It is both undeniably iconic and a strong contender for a one-watch collection. This particular reference is considered a transitional model and was produced in the eighties. The Rolex 3075 movement is rock solid and even…

Owner Review: Rolex Tiffany & Co Day-Date

Everybody who knows me knows that I love day dates. I love them so much that I wrote another article on how they were the genesis for my journey into watchmaking. Have a look here if you dare question my love for this iconic watch. I haven’t changed my mind about them. I still think…
