amanicoTudor has launched the Black Bay 54, a 37mm vintage-inspired watch with a small case size reminiscent of past Submariners like the 7922 and 6200. The design features a vintage-style dial with gilt wording, a snowflake hand, and a unique bezel inspired by early Tudor Submariners. The watch includes an in-house movement with a 70-hour power reserve. While the rubber strap may seem out of place, the watch overall is praised for its nostalgic charm and quality craftsmanship....">Story

amanicoTudor's Black Bay GMT was inspired by the Rolex GMT MASTER 6542, with a controversial white dialed version. The 41 mm watch has opaline dial, 200m water resistance, and MT 5652 movement with 70-hour autonomy. Available with Fabric Strap or Steel Bracelet, it's a more affordable option than a Rolex. Despite divided opinions, the unique white dial adds character. Some hope Tudor will release a slimmer 39 mm version in the future....">Story

amanicoThe author's love for watches began with the Rolex 1675 he saw on Magnum P.I. It took him 20 years to acquire the GMT Master 16700, which he regretfully sold. The watch was the catalyst for his passion for watches. He now values it as his first serious watch, appreciating its look, friendly complication, and character. The author learned to never sell your first watch, a lesson he plans to remember with his final watch being a GMT Master....">Story

diracpointHey guys, as I mentioned in my earlier threads, I liked this new release a LOT. I had a long-term appreciation for the crazy 1960 Deepsea Special, and the 2012 Deepsea Challenge, and used to think their coolness is just off the charts!! When Rolex announced this model a few weeks ago with a vintage-inspired super-duper-matte dial, domed crystal and no date, I knew I was in trouble! Well, I’m happy to say that it finally came home with me. 😃 My first Rolex diver after >12 years of collecting Rolex! 🤗 I’m ... ...">Story

You know my love for this watch and reference...">Story

amanicoThis Rolex Air King is celebrating its 4th anniversary, today. 4 years in my collection, 4 years of good and bad moments, 4 years of an incredibly moving story. You all know what happened to my first Air King, of course, as you were all contributing in finding and funding my second Air King, which represents a lot for me and which explains why this watch will always stay with me or with my daughter, as she is intimately linked to this watch. She was with me when we both went to Spain to get the first one, .....">Story

foverstaAlmost everything has been said about the Rolex Submariner 124060, the latest version of the most famous diving watch that was unveiled last September. So, rather than going into a classic presentation, I propose to explain the reasons that motivated the acquisition of this watch. I had been wanting to buy a Submariner for some time. Even if I don't like the concept of a collection based on "iconic" watches because it often lacks personality and originality, the Submariner had always attracted me by its apparent .....">Story

foverstaThe new versions of the Explorer II were highly anticipated because Rolex had, as usual, prepared the ground well by arousing interest and curiosity through a teasing video unveiled one week before the digital edition of Watches & Wonders 2021. Because even without indicating the name of the model, the video presented an unambiguous context (with the evocation of caving) as well as the effect of the luminescence of the dial. There was no longer any doubt as to which model was involved, and April 7, 2021 became ... ...">Story

foverstaThe Black Bay Fifty-Eight quickly became one of Tudor's flagship models. Its contained size, the neo-retro vibe, the Submariner Big Crown 7924 inspiration, all contributed to the watch's undeniable charm and immediate success with both watch enthusiasts and a more "mainstream" clientele. Following its introduction in 2018 with a black-dialed reference with guilt details, Tudor introduced a Navy Blue declination two years later that offers a different atmosphere, both sleeker and perhaps more contemporary. .....">Story

amanicoAn interesting offer, here: The daring Black Bay Fifty Eight in yellow gold: And in silver! Both have the good taste to be in 39 mm, as silver and gold weight quite a bit. So, for me, it is a good idea. While the yellow gold is cool, here we have another green dial. The silver is colder but more my taste, with its taupe dial...">Story
