Evolving with the Evolution 9 SLGA009 White Birch
Wearing a tree TLDR Actually I haven’t evolved much to be honest. I still think most Grand Seiko sports watches are too big. This watch is stunning but overall disappointing for me. The movement is an absolute beast, the dial is breathtaking, the case finishing is superb…but it’s just too chunky for my taste and…

A little Exploring in the Norwegian mountains with the Rolex Explorer 124270
Rocking a grail on the trail TLDR The Rolex Explorer I has been a dream watch of mine for a long time. While I prefer the proportions of the vintage 114270, this modern installment is superior in build quality and movement performance. It works with every outfit in just about any environment, even the mountains…

In the home of the gods… and my cousins
A brief trip through the Norwegian fjords TLDR Norway has some of the most spectacular natural beauty that I’ve ever seen in person. It’s the home of the majority of my family who I don’t get to see often and the country holds a special place in my heart. While Norwegian cities are charming, the…

Standing -1 meters deep with the Rolex Submariner 124060
Shahanshah, Watch of watches TLDR I only got this to try what I believe is the most iconic diver, perhaps watch, in the world. It was really nice and this model is a huge improvement over the 114060, but I’d still prefer vintage and found this edition to be a bit cold. Getting back to…

Not just the date with the Datejust 126234
So I won a raffle TLDR I can’t afford this, but I won a raffle and now I have a Datejust. Sum this up in 3 words: flash, bling, ice. While it was absolutely perfect for my formal outfits, it doesn’t quite fit my everyday casual style. But it’s a freaking awesome watch and it’s…

Diving with the Devil…Caravelle 666 Sea Hunter Diver, to be specific
A sub-$1k vintage diver to make your Submariner jelly TLDR Beautiful vintage style for an affordable price compared to the iconic Seiko, Tudor, and Rolex divers. Sure, it looks a bit like an Explorer I with the bezel off, but careful you don’t mess up the spring. This will be a short little article for…

Keeping tabs on my East Coast ones with the Seiko SSK001
A sub-$500 automatic GMT that’s worth its “metal” TLDR This is one of the greatest value watches I’ve seen in a while. It comes with an all new, in-house automatic GMT movement, an impressive solid link jubilee bracelet, and a stunning sapphire-covered bezel insert. But it’s so… big. And I’m just so…small. At an astoundingly…

Two-tone Two-faced Tudor Prince Date
An elegant timepiece for a more civilized age TLDR Gives the impression that you are a well-to-do Grandpa or mob boss. Wears like an absolute charm with one of my favorite cases ever. The two-tone is at once classy, warm, and charming, yet also somewhat tacky. It’s one of the flashier watches I’ve worn and…

Blasting off with the Omega MoonSwatch Missions to Jupiter and Pluto
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED? TLDR It feels like a Happy Meal toy, looks like a $6,000 Speedmaster, and sounds like a Swatch quartz watch. I’d argue that it is well worth the $260 price tag. You’re getting an Omega Speedmaster for a tiny fraction of the price of a metal one. That being said, it’s a bit…

A day at the beach with the Lorier Neptune V3
Vintage style without the vintage maintenance TLDR I think it’s a great value vintage-inspired dive watch. The double-domed acrylic crystal really gives it a nice vintage feel and the gilt dial is quite pretty. I love that Lorier made something different here, rather than just quoting the ubiquitous design language of more popular brands. That…
