Rolex The Yacht-Master review

Image
Rolex did a really good job mixing brushed, polished and that frosted dial together into one cohesive package. Overall, the watch looks incredibly balanced, mainly due to the all-silver theme. It's dressy, yet subdued. You can wear this with anything. It's monochrome, yet not in the least plain looking. The dial and bezel are platinum. Most other companies would've opted to go full polish, but Rolex thankfully held back, instead highlighting just the coin-edge and markers. Bezel rotates both ways as well. The dial has that nice glitter effect, with polished hands and white lume applied on top. Minute hand is larger, seconds hand is a nice red color - that small splash of color, along with the red marked "Yacht-Master" lettering, are what hints at the sporty background of the watch. Date magnifier not only makes reading the date easier, it also helps by adding texture to te flat sapphire surface. The YM that I have uses the basic flip-lock system. Many swap...

G-shock Mudman 9000 review

Image
G-shock Mudman 9000 review Introducing the dust-resistant, dirt-resistant MUDMAN with Dual Illuminator. MUDMAN is designed and engineered with people like motor sport mechanics in mind. Its Mud Resist construction seals out everything from the oil of workshop to the sand of motorcycle rally. A Dual Illuminator backlight can be configured for 3-second or 5-second afterglow for easy reading in the dark. Dual 1,000-hour stopwatches allow simultaneous measurement of two times, which means you can use one stopwatch to time a race and the other to determine how much time is being lost in pit stops. The back cover is engraved with the image of a mole, which represents the MUDMAN concept. DUAL ILLUMINATOR Dual EL panels provide simultaneous illumination of the LCD panel and the dial for better readability when available lighting is dim. Mineral Glass Shock Resistant Mud Resistant 200-meter water resistance Case / bezel material: Resin / Stainless steel Resin Band E...

Minuteman Watches 2013 review

Image
Minuteman Watches 2013 review The original idea behind Minuteman watches (quite appropriately named) was for the pieces to be assembled in the United States by disabled war veterans. It was a good idea, given that disabled veterans are a laudable group to work with/benefit, and it is a great goal to give even a few who are out of work, work. Minuteman tried to work with an organization that deals with disabled veterans, but it didn't work out. I think it was pretty nasty. Nevertheless, Minuteman did not want to abandon the idea of making watches here in the US. So the end result is that some portion of the sale of the watches will go to a charity that benefits disabled veterans, and the watch will be produced in Ohio by LUM-TEC. More specifically, for the first round of production, a percentage of the profits (not sure how much) will go to the Gary Sinise foundation (I have to wonder if that has to do with the fact that he played a disabled veteran in Forest Gump). After that...

Seinhart Ocean-1 GMT pepsi bezel

Image
Seinhart Ocean-1 GMT  pepsi bezel Seinhart Ocean-1 GMT merupakan jam yang diproduksi oleh industri jam di Germany. jam ini mengadopsi model Rolex GMT pepsi bezel, sehingga disebut juga sebagai hommage Rolex GMT. dial pada ocean-1 setelah saya amati dari kaca pembesar sangatlah halus, tulisan ocean-1 GMT yang berwarna merah menurut saya mempercantik tampilan pada jam ini. jendela tanggal berada di posisi angka 3 pada hour marker. perpindahan tanggal pada jam ini tepat pada pukul 12 malam (quick change). bezel tidak terbuat dari ceramic seperti pada rolex. untuk material pada bezel, saya jg tidak mengetahuinya. yang pasti bezel sudah sangat halus (mirip2 omega bond kalo dirasain pake tangan). pernah saya coba untuk menekan dan menggoresnya dengan kuku, namun tidak terjadi apa2. bezel berputar satu arah ke kiri berlawanan dengan jarum jam (120 click). hal yang kurang dari bezel ocean-1 adalah perputarannya. menurut saya kurang lembut, masih kalah lembut denga...
