This year,maybe due to Covid,maybe due to my retirement,was one of the busiest year's in terms of changes to my watch collection. Not less than 20 new watches joined my collection while 9 others had t

The new white gold Submariner. I guess I was the first one in my country to receive the white gold version of the new Submariner. And I must say that it is a real nice piece of (heavy) metal. In compa

Although the market has gone crazy about steel sports watches,I take still a lot of pleasure wearing any of my dress watches for special occasions. Best, Gerard

Obviously I like blue dial watches So many different shades of blue.... Best, Gerard

Besides the omnipresent brands that are part of one of the big watch/luxury groups and of course the big three of independants (Rolex/PP/AP) there are also a few other brands that have established the

Very quietly and almost unperceived by myself a small part of my collection has evolved into the theme of vintage re-edition respectively vintage inspired watches. And this despite my dislike for faux

I have always been strongly attracted to the specific aesthetics of the Breguet watches. These are "different" from the majority of what can be found on other watches. The quality is superb with a gre

I have the white dial orange bezel PO on the steel bracelet. Great watch but also very heavy with this combination. Omega does not propose a specific rubber strap for that version (they have a Nato wh

The 5227 R comes originally on a very dark brown strap which contributes to the overall conservative look of the watch. With a strap change I wanted to have a bit more modern and fresh look. PP refers

An accessory that we rarely discuss are the watch boxes that we use to store our beloved time pieces. I don't know about you but I do not like my watches to sit in one of these cheap and badly made wa

I do like divers ! They are fun,robust and perfectly suited for a more active and casual life style (as I have since my retirement...). Although not a real diver myself (just pool diving ...) I enjoy

Just a few years ago there were not a lot of watches featuring a green dial. I guess it was the arrival of the Rolex "Hulk" that raised the interest for green dial watches. By now the color green has

The Code 11:59 was,without a doubt,the most controversial watch from 2019. We all know what happened and I am not going back to the story : everyone involved made mistakes, the brand,the media and the

Not even on AP's website but already on my wrist. Will work on more decent pictures and will present the watch in detail in the next days. Regards, Gerard

I guess everyone makes a few mistakes during his/her watch collection "career". One of my mistakes was when I sold (actually it was a trade-in) my Breguet Tradition 7057 in white gold a few years ago.

Somehow overshadowed by the story telling about the moonwatch, Omega created a good looking modern alternative: the Speedmaster Racing. A bit larger with all the ingredients that make modern Omega's s
