Epos 3504 Diver Hands-On Watch Review
Epos 3504 Diver Epos produces many different collections, but if you look under the Sportive collection, you will find a lot of derivative models, such as this Epos 3504 Diver. This latest piece has a similar look and feel to a Submariner, with a few tweaks here and there as you will see in this review. Unlike many watch brands that do homages, this is not what one would call an affordable watch a...
Spinnaker Boettger Watch Review
Spinnaker Boettger At this point, I am sure most of you are aware of the Spinnaker Brand. This latest piece, the Spinnaker Boettger is another watch that ups the value of the brand overall, especially from how they started. I have reviewed many models from this Hong Kong-based brand and have discussed their parent company and sister brands, and while they do try to market themselves as a microbran...
Nine Four Successor Watch Review
Nine Four Successor Despite all that is going on this year, watch brands are still producing new watches. The Nine Four Successor is a new brand and model to me and with a recent wave of Genta inspired designs that I have had in for review, I was not quite sure what to expect, especially considering the very low prices of the Successor. Fortunately, the Successor is not only a very nice watch for ...
Melbourne Burnley Watch Review
The Melbourne Burnley The Melbourne Burnley is a new model from the Australian based company that is inspired by one of Gerald Genta’s famous designs, but at a much cheaper price than what you would expect to pay for a Genta design. Now, as always, some people are against homages or inspired pieces of any kind, and it does get exhausting as most microbrands (not all) are homages of some kind...
Ginault Ocean Rover II-The Review
Ginault Ocean Rover II I am fully aware of what Ginault has been accused of, and why most have promised to never cover the brand again. That is all well and good, and every site and channel should do as they please. Same thing with Watchreport. For a while last year, I thought about doing the same. When Ginault reached out to ask about reviewing the Ocean Rover II, I initially declined. After I po...
EMG Horizon Chronograph | Watch Review
EMG Horizon Are you a Breaking Bad fan? Steve McQueen maybe? Been lusting after a Tag Heuer Monaco but just don’t have the cash? Well, the EMG Horizon is somewhat close, and much more affordable, coming in at under $400. While most homage watches are copies of Rolex or Panerai, EMG went a different route and gave us their interpretation of a classic square chronograph. Though similar to the ...
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...
Outsiders Revolution | Hands-On Watch Review
Outsiders Revolution Today, we are going to veer off the normal review path a little. I am sure many know that Baselworld is almost over at the time of publication and Outsiders Watches apparently made a spectacle at the watch fair, or so they have said. Their first watch, the Outsiders Revolution diver is a $500 Swiss Made Submariner style homage and there is a lot to delve into when it come...
Zahnd And Kormann ZK Diver 2 | Hands On Review
Zahnd And Kormann ZK Diver 2 The Zahnd And Kormann ZK Diver 2 launched on Kickstarter this morning and offers a very affordable way to get a COSC certified dive watch that is available in many different colors, different metals (steel or titanium), and also as a GMT. I only had a short time with the Diver 2 as I had to get it passed on to another person and I was heading out on vaca...
Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Aged Steel | Hands-On Review
Gruppo Gamma Vanguard Aged Steel If this is your first time here at Watchreport, you may not know that we have been reviewing Gruppo Gamma Watches for a long time. This latest model, the Vanguard Aged Steel is a throwback of sorts to the original Vanguard with some very nice upgrades. Gruppo has been in business since 2013 and they show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Now equipped ...
Sea King SK-1 | Hands On Watch Review
Sea King SK-1 I’ve always said that it must be hard to start a new watch brand, not just on the financial side but also because of design. So many people say they want something different, then they see the price tag and claim that is outrageous. So then we come to the homage side of thing, and we all know how many out there are vocal about not liking homages. I have my own limits ...
Gruppo Gamma Peacemaker | Hands on Watch Review
Gruppo Gamma Peacemaker It is no secret that I am quite fond of Gruppo Gamma watches. I would say I have liked pretty much every model they have come out with and their newest model, the Gruppo Gamma Peacemaker, has that classic cushion shape that I am a pushover for. It also has a sandwich dial with Arabic numerals, another detail I greatly admire. The Peacemaker uses a mechanical movement, ...
