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...
EMG Nemo Diver-Hands On Watch Review
EMG Nemo Many microbrands are run by one guy, but the EMG Nemo is the brainchild of 3 watch enthusiasts from around the world. Ed, Derek, and Eric brought EMG to life just about 2 years ago and the Nemo Diver is their third model. Coming in at 40mm, the Nemo is a vintage styled diver running a Miyota 9015 automatic movement, a domed sapphire crystal, and beads of rice bracelet. If yellow is not yo...
BOLDR Odyssey Bronze Hands-On Watch Review
BOLDR Odyssey Bronze The BOLDR Odyssey Bronze is the latest release from the Singapore-based company. When BOLDR Watches first debuted about a year or so ago, I did not care for the name. I am sure most of you reading this have felt that way about many watch companies over the years. We all have our little reasons that keep us away from purchasing a watch at times, and for whatever reason, I just ...
Oris Divers Sixty-Five | Hands On Watch Review
Oris Divers Sixty-Five I’ve been a fan of Oris Watches for a long time. I’ve owned quite a few over the years as well. The Oris Big Crown Timer, the TT1 Diver and my personal favorite, the Aquis. Within the past few years, Oris has been bringing back some of their vintage designs from the 60’s (as many brands have been doing lately). One of them is the Oris Divers Sixty-Five line...
Origin Vintage Field Watch | Hands on Review
Origin Vintage Field Classic. Ageless. Timeless. These are all good descriptors for the Origin Vintage Field Watch. A watch that will always be in style, no matter what decade. Something you can wear whether you are 20 or 80. Boy, that sure does sound like an advertisement, but I do enjoy this watch. There is something about the simplicity that draws me in. Just because it is not flashy does not m...
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...
Bulova Devil Diver- The Reissue
Bulova Devil Diver It is no secret that I love Dive Watches. I always have and probably always will. A recent trend in the past few years from both mainstream and microbrands is vintage divers. There were just so many attractive and unique dive watches in the 60’s and 70’s that it makes sense for brands to reissue them. Bulova has been reissuing some of their most iconic models in the ...
Trigalux T-Diver | Hands on Watch Review
Trigalux T-Diver There are many watch enthusiasts out there who love watches but can just not afford to drop $500, $600 and more on a watch. That is where these “budget” microbrands come in to play. The Trigalux T-Diver is one that would fall under that banner, and for around $300-it offers a lot of value. Now, I know, budget and affordable is very subjective, but from wh...
Nezumi Studios Baleine Diver | Watch Review
Nezumi Studios Baleine Diver Smaller, sleeker, retro. These are three words that would describe the trend going on in the world of watches. While over-sized watches are still a thing, they are not as prevalent as they were years ago. More and more companies from microbrands to the big boys are producing watches in the 40mm to 42mm range and the Nezumi Studios Baleine Diver is no different. For me,...
Dan Henry 1968 | Watch Review
Dan Henry 1968 Dan Henry Watches are a hot commodity these days. Many, many watch enthusiasts have been grabbing at least one of the 5 different collections Dan Henry offers. There are good reasons for that. One, of course, is the price. They are very affordable with their most expensive model only being $250; that would be the compressor style diver I reviewed here a few months ago, the 1970. The...
Favre Leuba Raider Deep Blue | Watch Review
Favre Leuba Raider Deep Blue The name Favre Leuba has been around since 1737. It is the second oldest watch brand, in name, ever. I can go on an on about their history, but that can be easily googled. The brand has changed hands a few times since going defunct in the 1970’s, but was purchased by Titan Co. Ltd in 2011. It took a few years to bring the company back from the ashes, but late las...
Borealis Bull Shark | Watch Review
Borealis Bull Shark So, we have another homage here. This time it is a touch different. The Borealis Bull Shark homages a watch that is not currently produced. That would be the Original Rolex Sub from 1953. (I incorrectly misspoke in the video and said Tudor). Microbrands have their place in the watch world, and it is great when one of these brands produce something original and for a more ...
