Punching Above its Weight! The Marathon GPQ Sage Green 34mm Review

Its a classic story, and one that everyone loves – the underdog rising to … Continue reading Punching Above its Weight! The Marathon GPQ Sage Green 34mm Review
Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow? – Seiko Rainbow Daytona “Clear” Mod Review
The world of watch mod-ing offers boundless possibilities, but should you take the plunge? I don’t follow the Marvel Cinematic Universe religiously, but I do enjoy a good story and while the Scarlet Witch kind of went full out loco in the latest Dr Strange film, WandaVision was one of my personal favourites amongst the series. Without spoiling too much (in case you haven’t watched … Continue reading Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow? – Seiko Rainbow Daytona “Clear” Mod Review

Seeing Triple! – Casio G-Shock DW5900 “Triple Eye” Review
90s retro goodness in an (almost) indestructible package at a great price! It’s been some years since I last stepped into a primary school, but if I had to, I’d venture a guess that the “cool” kids nowadays have an Apple watch. Things definitely weren’t the same back in my day; in the early 2000s, you were beyond cool if you had a mobile phone … Continue reading Seeing Triple! – Casio G-Shock DW5900 “Triple Eye” Review
To Boldr-ly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before – Boldr Venture Field Medic II Review
If I had to introduce Boldr as a television series, it would be Star Trek. Can the Venture Field Medic II be the “Enterprise” of the watch world? If I had to pick, I would say that I’m more of a Star Wars than Star Trek kind of guy. You really can’t beat Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan battling it out with Darth Maul to the tune … Continue reading To Boldr-ly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before – Boldr Venture Field Medic II Review

Back to the Roaring Twenties – Vario Empire Grey Tuxedo Review
The glitz and glam of the 1920s meets modern day watchmaking in this art deco inspired piece. This is part one of a two-part series on the Vario Empire. Check out part 2 here. I’m going to start by confessing that I know almost nothing about the 1920s; I was born in the 90s and the 20s seem (literally) a lifetime away.
