Christopher Ward C63 Sealander 36 Review: The Best Affordable Everyday Watch

There’s always a contention between watch enthusiasts when it comes to hailing something as “the best”. Throw in the terms “affordable” and “everyday watch” and the playing field becomes packed with eager pitchers throwing their opinions around at 95mph. Today, I am one of those pitchers, and I’m pitching for those with smaller wrists (6.5 …

Seiko SARB035 Review: Still Worth it in 2024?

One does not simply go through their watch journey without ever coming across the legendary Seiko SARB035 or SARB033, period. Just like many of you, the Seiko SARB line up was first introduced to me by TGV back in 2016. Back then, I was still deeply entrenched in Seiko divers which were way too big …

Monta Ocean King V2 Review For Smaller Wrists

Monta Ocean King V2 Review: It is the King of Microbrands

Ever since the boom of microbrands, I’ve heard about this “King of Microbrands”. It started off with a Monta Triumph, then the Monta Ocean King, which was hailed as the Tudor BB58 rival. Granted, I didn’t really care when Monta first came into the scene as I wasn’t dropping a couple of grand on a …

Vostok Scuba Dude Review: Watches Are Fun Again!

This may be some kind of record but I’ve gone almost 10 years in the hobby without having own a Vostok. I know, it’s ridiculous that I love affordable watches and emphasize on value. Yet, this Vostok Scuba Dude is my first ever Vostok. Honestly I’ve just never felt an intense urge to buy a …

Oris Pointer Date Movember Review: A Classic From Oris

The Oris Pointer Date is now the third Oris that’s been featured on my website. Like I’ve said before, Oris is the face of affordable luxury. For watches under $2000, you should be thinking: “How close is it to the fit and finishing of an Oris?”. For watches over $2000, the idea is: “How much …

Tudor Prince Date 74000N Review: A Dressy Daily

Okay, I know what you’re going to ask, why on earth did I get a Rolex datejust alternative when I’ve been quite vocal about my dream piece – the Rolex Explorer 36. If I didn’t have money for the Explorer (which I don’t), I should settle for the Tudor Ranger. Even as I’m typing up …

Baltic Aquascaphe GMT Review: Finally a GMT for smaller wrists

The Baltic Aquascaphe GMT, if nothing, does one thing right – size. Before the rise of micro brands, if I wanted an affordable GMT, I had: There was only one problem, their offerings were all 42mm and above in case diameter. They were also all as thick as my shit after being dehydrated for a …

Tudor 1926 Opaline Review: The Ultimate Affordable Luxury Watch

Under the $2000USD mark, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to getting a daily driver. So why do I consider the Tudor 1926 the best luxury at that price point? There’s the Sinn 556 or 104 for those who wants the tool-watch aesthetics. You’ve got Longines, albeit their less popular models. There’s higher-end Hamilton’s, Mido’s, …
