In truth, I often miss my SPB143, which I sold to fund a Prospex LX. It was one of my favorite watches for around $1,000, and had very few flaws. I chose to buy the SPB313 because I liked its white dial with black hands and indices, but my hope was also that the Slim Turtle co...
Despite the fact that I've never owned one (and can't pronounce its name), I've been a fan of Jaeger-LeCoultre for a long time. Now that I've finally had the chance to wear one for a bit of time, how does it stand up to my expectations?
Bulova is an interesting brand in the watch collecting world. Like Seiko, you'll often find its mass appeal models for sale in department stores, but the brand does offer models that appeal to those of us with the watch affliction. The reissue of the vintage Oceanographer "Dev...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Last year, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek piece declaring the Sinn U1 S "The Best Diving Watch Available." Seiko also makes a lot of strong contenders in the dive watch category. I recently picked up a Seiko MM300 diver that, on paper at least, is very comparable to the Sinn. So ho...
Of watches that that I've owned, Seiko is the brand name that shows up most often. Readers have followed my climb up the Seiko ladder. My next planned stop was the MM300, but I jumped a few levels to the Prospex LX Spring Drive. I had thought that I could skip over the MM300, ...
