I miss having a Lorier in my collection and was considering picking up a Neptune when the next batch drops on Monday. Checked the price and noted they’re now $599 after being $499 for as long as I can remember.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand why. I...

I miss having a Lorier in my collection and was considering picking up a Neptune when the next batch drops on Monday. Checked the price and noted they’re now $599 after being $499 for as long as I can remember.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand why. In addition to tariffs, everything has gotten more expensive due to rising materials costs and a host of other reasons. Lorier has also added tool free microadjust to their latest watches, which is definitely a value add.

However, the minor…

At the end of June a buddy and I are heading north of LA for a week of mountain biking. We’re riding Montana de Oro for two days, then Santa Cruz for three. I usually pack a few watches for every trip but want to keep it simple(ish) this time.

I’ll be wearing my BB58 for casual, knock around wear and something a bit beefier for riding. I’ve narrowed it down to these three: Pelagos, Arnie or G-Shock.

I can already anticipate pushback against the Pelagos but I’ve worn it on dozens of rides…

Up for sale is my Nodus Sector Pilot Matick LE. The watch was issued in collaboration with the Matick Blog and is number thirty-six in a total of just sixty-nine watches produced. To my eye, the combo of silver dial, arabics with black surrounds and blue accents makes it the most attractive colorway in the Sector Pilot series.

The Sector Pilot features a rotating countdown bezel. There’s an angled, indexed chapter ring that transitions to a silver dial with a circular brushed outer ring…

This one hurts – it’s one of my favorite watches but has been seeing very little wrist time, so up on the block it goes.

Up for sale is my Longines Heritage 1973 Racing Chronograph (year of manufacture – 2014). This stunner has the sexy looks of a chrono from the heady days of road racing but houses a modern, column wheel L688.2 movement exclusive to Longines.

The 1973 features a slick tonneau case and a panda style racing dial with a stealthy twelve hour counter at six and date…

At the time of release, this was Oris’ flagship pilot watch, with a hand wound, in-house movement featuring an impressive 10 day power reserve.

The Cal. 111 features an attractive turbine finned bezel and dark gray sunburst dial. Arabics are applied blocks of lume. Combined with lumed sword hands, the watch shines like a torch. The watch features two subdials – running seconds at nine nestled next to the date window, and power…
