Songdu

01/25/201901/10/2021

A couple months ago, I came across Songdu as part of Low Cost Watches – A Series. The D-9237M was the most impressive of the three watches I examined in that review, and I expected that I would do a more in-depth review at some point. And here we are. I liked the silver and […]

Carty Silicone Rubber Straps

01/07/201901/11/2021

Here we are taking a look at Carty silicone rubber straps. I really like rubber straps on dive watches. The watches in this post are a pair of Christopher Ward Trident Pro 600s, but we will focus on the straps. https://youtu.be/2qOoWh8pxXA Like the Maikes straps I previously reviewed, Carty is another low-cost strap distributor with […]

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Bronze Ombré

12/24/201801/11/2021

Ombré means “having tones of color that shade into each other, graduating from light to dark” (NOAD) and I have heard the term applied to all sorts of things from cookies to clothing. Now, Ombré is a watch and it is spectacular. Bronze has been a craze in recent years, particularly in 2017, 2018, and […]

Resizing a watch bracelet

12/21/201801/12/2021

Watch me resize a watch bracelet by removing the bracelet and a couple links from a Christopher Ward Trident Pro 600. Funnily enough this watch had two different spring bars, which gave me more to talk about! This bracelet uses friction pins (pin and collar, pin and tube), so this process applies to other bracelets […]

Timex Weekender Chronograph

12/18/201801/11/2021

I enjoy reviewing low-cost watches just as much as significant-cost watches. The Timex Weekender Chronograph is an example of a watch that is affordable for most people, given a certain expectation of how long they will wear it until moving onto something else. Like any watch purchase, information needs to be available so you know […]

Straps make a difference. A lot of time is spent on marketing and reviews of watches, but perception can be altered in an instant with a strap change. A strap change can make an already great watch even better and can make a low-cost watch look stunning. This is a post where I will mostly […]

DeLorean Motor Company – Alpha DMC Silver

11/23/201801/11/2021

I had to. As a child of the 1980’s, I grew up watching the Back to the Future (BTTF) series and have continued to watch it from time-to-time throughout my adult life. BTTF is a personal favorite. Of course I own the trilogy and a couple “collectors items.” No doubt you know that […]

Low Cost Watches – A Series

11/08/201801/11/2021

A bit of fun Watches are fun, at least for me, and if you are reading this then you likely feel the same. I do have my share of quality watches and I take my collection seriously, but I also enjoy dabbling in low-cost watches. Watches comprised of quality components cost $$$, and like most […]

Christopher Ward C8 Power Reserve Chronometer

10/12/201801/11/2021

Watch complications…we love them. Yes a certain purity exists in a three-hand timepiece that soberly tells the time, but mechanical complications add intrinsic complexity and value. But perhaps more importantly from an operational point-of-view, complications substantiate the canvas on which they are built. One such watch is the Christopher Ward C8 Power Reserve (C8 PR), […]
