Peren Nera Rogue Hands-On Review
Peren Nera Rogue The Peren Nera Rogue is quite an attractive watch with a unique dial color, and 200 meters of water resistance and is offered in two distinct versions. The version I have here is the diver, but there is also a Rogue X version, with a stainless 12-hour bezel insert, that can be used to read the dual time. Unfortunately, this brand and I have history, and I just can’t seem to ...
Richard Le Grand OceanFarer-Hands on Review
Richard Le Grand OceanFarer Today I take a look at the Richard Le Grand OceanFarer, but a few years ago, I did a review of another RLG watch, the Odyssea. I was not overly fond of that piece, mostly because of bracelet issues, but overall I felt the watch was cheaply made, even for its price. Now, in fairness, the company was still in its early stages, and like all companies, they seemed to have s...
Marloe Morar Beacon | Watch Review
Marloe Morar Beacon Dive watches are some of the most popular watches out in the market, and that probably will never change. The dive watch is functional, sporty, generally attractive and can be worn in almost any setting or any activity. The Marloe Morar is Marloe Watch Company’s take on a dive watch, and while it may look derivative at first, I feel they put their unique spin on the dive ...
Pablo Profundo Rolex Homage | Hands-On Review
Pablo Profunfdo Rolex Homage Do you know a statement that is not regularly said in the watch community? “We need another Rolex homage!” There is a good reason for that, as the watch world is flooded with these homages, especially for the submariner style or dive style of watches that Rolex produces. Today I am looking at the Pablo Profundo Rolex Homage. These days, its all about the vi...
Nodus Avalon | Hands-On Watch Review
Nodus Avalon The Nodus Avalon is the fourth watch to be produced from the Los Angeles based brand and while they openly admit that production is outsourced; assembly and QC is done in-house. I have been looking forward to this model for almost two years now, as this was meant to be the second watch in the Nodus stable, but a few setbacks kept that from happening. The young owners, Wes and Cu...
Phoibos Reef Master | Hands On Watch Review
Phoibos Reef Master If you are someone that is always looking for the most value or the most bang for your buck when it comes to watches, Phoibos is probably a brand you should be looking at. The model I have in for review here is the Phoibos Reef Diver, which ranges from $229-$239, depending on the case finish. As you will see in the specs below, you get a lot of features for that price tag. I ha...
Elliot Brown Broadstone | Hands on Watch Review
Elliot Brown Broadstone A lot of companies claim they make tough, hard use watches. Whether it be dive watches, field watches, you name it. Most of those companies do not back up their claims though; they do not even attempt to. Elliot Brown does. The Elliot Brown Broadstone is not only worn by the skippers of the Clipper Round the World Race this year, they have also bolted one to the bowsp...
William L. 1985 Vintage Diver | Hands on Watch Review
William L.1985 Vintage Diver Vintage. It is a word that is said a lot these days. I cannot even begin to count how many watches I see or review that are vintage or retro inspired. It is the trend these days, for how long; who knows, but many brands will ride the train until we are on to the next trend. Many brands are coming out with vintage designs these days but not many are doing vintage sizing...
Minus 8 Diver Titanium | Watch Review
Minus 8 Diver In the world of dive watches, sometimes they can all start to look the same. Sub style, cushion case and even cases like the Oris TT1 and Aquis are the more traditional. Minus 8 is a brand that likes to deviate a little from the norm, and with that comes the Minus 8 Diver, the first dive watch from the California based company. Being forthcoming, I do prefer the traditional, but that...
Borealis Sea Hawk Review
Ah yes, it is time to talk about the Hawk of the Sea. Wait. Hawk of the Sea? Is that such a thing? Well, actually it is. (I had to look it up, I know about watches, not birds). A Sea Hawk, or its official name, the Osprey, is a fish eating bird of prey. What does this have to do with a new micro brand diver? Well, I guess not much really, but I just wanted to share my research with you. Onto the n...
TW Steel CEO Diver CE5000 Review
Hello again everyone. In for review is a relatively new model from TW Steel in the CEO Automatic Diver model CE5000. I noticed the CEO diver a few times in the past but an automatic variation was not available as far as I am aware until recently. Before I get into the watch, I want to refresh everyone briefly on the history of TW Steel. TW Steel is a Dutch company, founded by Jordy and Ton Cobelen...
