Today I wore my Longines Conquest. I bought this three years ago when I returned to the hobby after a multi decade hiatus. My intention when I bought this watch was to buy ONE watch that could “do it all.” Something affordable, but not necessarily chea…

A few days ago I wrote how I was looking forward to trying on the Citizen BN0260-54L at Windup. Some of you suggested that Macy’s might have it in stock and so I headed over. It was on sale and after trying it on I was smitten. I immediately bought it….
Continue readingI hope Citizen has the blue BN0260 at Windup NYC because I’m going and want to try it on
I’m going to Windup NYC next month and the watch I’m most looking forward to trying on is the BN0260. I currently own a blue Seiko SRPD and the Citizen seems like a better package for only $100 more if you go grey. The SRPD fits me well but the Citizen…

I own a solar panda Seiko Speedtimer. I enjoy it. It’s not perfect but the pros outweigh the cons. Having said that I’ve always wanted to upgrade to an automatic chronograph. Price, obviously, was the prohibitive factor as I made a decision to stay in …

A couple of weeks ago I shared how my wife offered to buy me a luxury watch for our anniversary and I declined as I preferred to spend the money elsewhere. Well, after hearing on several occasions how I turned her down from her, I caved and told her I’…

It’s another summer where I live and I’ve yet to experience the dreaded wrist swelling that so many complain about and swear they need a quick adjust clasp to survive. Two thirds of my collection is on bracelets and I’ve never had to adjust them to acc…
Continue readingMy wife offered me a luxury watch for our recent anniversary. I declined.
Not too long ago I made my last purchase and felt I had essentially completed my collection. I’m wanting for naught now and very happy with my collection. As my wife knows I’m into watches she graciously offered me a shopping trip to our jeweler to pic…

I’ve been on the hunt for a decent yellow dial three hander without a rotating bezel under 40mm and let me tell you it’s slim pickings. Clemence makes one but I’m not crazy about the hour hand. The Tsuyosa is a contender but a touch large and I’m on th…

A little while back I bought a Citizen NB1050 in black and it’s quickly become my favorite watch. I’m constantly reaching for it. I love its understated elegance and the fact that it’s “just a watch” and not trying to really be anything more than it is…
