So why is this Turtle called the King? Seiko has likely noticed the popular trend of enthusiasts modifying their Seiko divers with upgraded parts. With the newer series of Turtles (and Samurais), Seiko has done the work for us! Is it worth the price premium over the standard T...
I have a love/hate relationship with bronze watches. I like the idea of owning one, but I only keep watches that hold their own against the others in my collection. This is why I sold my $199 San Martin Bronze Water Ghost. At the same time, I struggle with spending thousands o...
In my recent review of the solar and Bluetooth "Casioak," I said that it was nearly my perfect spec G-Shock, but that it lacked the high-end feel of my blue metal GM2100N-2A. I bought a blue resin solar/BT model to swap modules and create my dream Casioak. Read the article to ...
As hard as it is for me to believe, this year marks my tenth wedding anniversary, which means it is also the tenth anniversary of me receiving my Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph (2210.50.00). I thought that it would be interesting to revisit my watch in a 2022 context. My watch...
When I reviewed the original Casioak, I said "to make this my perfect G-Shock, it would have solar charging, and atomic clock sync" but I was worried that adding those features would make the watch thicker and heavier. Well, the latest Casioak models do have solar charging, al...
I borrowed this Seiko SRPC95 (a.k.a. Orange Turtle, a.k.a. Nemo Turtle) from a friend for some strap photos. Since I previously owned and heavily modified an SPRC44 "Golden Turtle," and sold it before I started this blog (scroll down for a photo of it), I thought that it would...
While the Sinn 757 UTC is referred to as "The Duochronograph with captive bezel" (how German is that?) it is intended to be used by pilots. Watch collectors typically envision a WW2 flieger when thinking of a pilot watch, but the 757 UTC is filled with Sinn's tech to be useful...
Praesidus has been selling A-11 style watches for some time now but they have all been upsized compared to the Elgin, Waltham and Bulova originals. That changes with its latest version. At 32mm wide, the A-11 Combat not only has the dial design, but now shares its diameter wit...
Regularly browsing watches on social media has the tendency to compress people's preferences into a narrow sliver of brands, size ranges, and styles. Sometimes a watch that is well outside your comfort zone will burrow its way into your brain, however. For me, that watch was t...
When I declared its U1 big brother the best dive watch that money can buy, I did it with the caveat that I had not seen a U50 in the metal. As luck would have it, I was able to borrow that one to do a comparison. Can the U50 knock its big brother the U1 off its pedestal? Click...
