Well, it happened. I was very lucky so far with my watches. None broke or needed any service until today.
My oldest in the collection was 18 years old Panerai Luminor Zero. I just got a new strap for it and loved wearing it again but today i felt a sn…
Would you buy it or not?
I fell in love in a certain watch that costs..a lot (for me). I decided to sell some watches to keep my collection down in numbers and then i'll walk into a boutique, get a nice discount, because it's a brand i thought gives discounts and the…
Continue readingA watch case that doubles as safe or looks like something else completely?
I'm looking for a watch case that hides it's function really well. It can be a hidden part of some furniture for example or maybe a box that holds different items, watch part itself is accessible by some sort of mechanism. Safe is ok maybe, b…

Classic vintage Rolex Datejust 1601…but bigger?
I've sold 37mm Grand Seiko SBGW231 because i felt the design made it a bit too small on my 6.7 inch wrist.
I really like vintage Rolex Datejust design with fluted bezel and a strap. But at 36mm it's even smaller. Any very simillar designs b…
