I've admired Doxa watches for a long time, but for whatever reason, I never seriously considered buying one as there were always other watches I was more interested in. After dabbling in a few Doxa homages over the past year or so, I pulled the t...

I always thought if I ever got a Doxa, it would be with a classic Sub 300 case, but the homages told me that I much preferred the Sub 600 case. As for color, the Divingstar yellow spoke to me the most…

I guess I probably need some professional help, but I just added the 6th Panerai into my collection. This time it is a 233.

Despite the 233 being somewhat of an iconic modern Panerai, it really haven’t been on my radar until earlier this year. I think it was mostly because it was more expensive than I was comfortable spending on one watch, but I also kind of thought I was done buying Panerai for a while after picking up a Submersible late last year.

After seeing a thread here discussing…

I’ve been collecting watches since around 2008, and it finally happened today. I was in the unglamorous position of waiting in line at a busy public bathroom, and a dude tapped me in the shoulder asking what watch I’m wearing, commenting that it looks very nice. It’s my brand spanking new Pagani Design Doxa 300 homage. I own some slightly higher end watches that I wear all the time, but I thought it was pretty funny that the first watch I wore that got commented on by a stranger would be…

A couple of months ago, I decided to overhaul my watch box situation after acquiring the Grand Seiko SBGJ275. I've been using two 10-compartment watch boxes, probably purchased from ebay, for many years, with most of my lesser worn watches stored in them. My most worn watches would usually scatter around my night stand and in watch rolls or pods in the bedroom. While there's nothing really wrong with how I had my watches stored, I've always wanted to get some nicer watch boxes eventually...

I've been a Panerai fan since around 2009, and for most of the time between then and now, I have not seriously considered a Submersible for reasons that even I don't really know. As of 2024 I owned 4 Panerai and none of them was a Submersible. It's always been in the back of my mind to eventually own one, and a thread about owning the "trio" that appeared here last year got me thinking more seriously about owning a Sub. Toward the end of last year I decided I wanted a Submersible for my...
