Video review of the JOA (Johel) homage of the famous Panerai 127 Fiddy. This was my first JOA watch, and I really dig it. Check out the video review! Beautiful 47mm case with crown protector and sapphire dome-shaped crystal. Exhibition case back shows off the Swiss Unitas movement.

I took this watch with me on my trip to Cambodia, and it was a great wearer for that trip. I have always loved the headwind and would really like to get one back into my collection on a pilot strap. While I like the Breitling Rubber, I can’t wear Rubber all the time. It just doesn’t work for me. Great watch though! Hope you enjoy the video review of this fantastic 44mm Pilot watch with the Day-Date complication.

Just posted a new video review of the Ball Engineer Master Diver II. This is a great value watch from Ball, and features a very nice internal rotating bezel with Tritium tubes. Nice 42mm Diver, and great features sure to pique the interest of any techy watch enthusiast. Swiss made precision, and well crafted case and dial.

Forgot to post all my video reviews on here for the past few months so I have started with the ones I missed. Here’s the first, which is a Rolex GMT-IIc… really love this watch and see it residing in my collection for a long time. Fantastic all-round watch, and in my opinion, better than the previous GMT. Many Rolex traditionalists prefer the old school pepsi and coke bezel GMT, but I feel that in this case, change is good!

As the newest addition to the Historiques collection, the bold character and sculptural lines of the Historiques Aronde 1954 captures the creativity and savoir-faire of Vacheron Constantin.
Featuring a rectangular case, hand-made guilloche dial, double-rounded curve on the case flanks reminiscent of wings, and a domed sapphire crystal, the Historiques Aronde 1954 is an iconic creation from the Vacheron Constantin collection.
