Benarus Sea Snake Review
Benarus stands out from the pack of boutique tool dive watches with designs that tend to be more unique and perhaps divisive. A perfect example of this is the last watch of theirs we reviewed, the Megalodon 500. This dual crown diver has some of the most extreme looks of any watch we've looked at. Yet despite the shock value, was an awesome and memorable watch. More recently, we've actually reviewed their sister brand, Raven, whose Rolex inspired watches are fun, stylish and tough as nails. For an inside look at the brand, check out our interview with co-owner Steve Laughlin.Today we're going to look at a watch they've made for sometime, but comes and goes in terms of availability. The Sea Snake is a 500m tool watch with looks that are inspired by a classic, yet somewhat less discussed, dive watch, the Breitling SuperOcean. More known for their racing chronographs and pilot's watches, Breitling also made one of the most beautiful and unique dive watches in the 60's. The SuperOcean has
Seiko Presage Comes to the US with a Limited Edition Auto Chrono
One of the many reasons we love Seiko here at worn&wound is the breadth of their lineup. No other brand could produce both sub-$100 budget automatics and world class haute horology, all in-house, and all with equal skill. While we get to cover the brand's lower-cost offerings all the time, it's not quite so often we take a look at what the Japanese titan does when it gets to flex its muscles. But when we do, like at Baselworld 2016, it's a real treat.One of the stars of Seiko's display (and the entire show, really) this year was the reveal of the Presage Limited Edition Chronograph, both a celebration of 60 years of Seiko automatic movements and a tasteful homage to the very first Seiko wristwatch, the 1913 Laurel. This is the first release of Seiko's premium Presage line outside of Japan, and part of a global push to establish Presage as second only to Grand Seiko in the lineup. If the Presage Limited Edition Chronograph is any indication, the line should be a resounding success.T
Looks Like Rickie Fowler Has "Upgraded"
Didn't he wear a white SS Daytona?
Have you ever wanted a watch back after you let it go?
I had a two tone DJ 2 with the Wimbledon dial. I sold it a few months after buying it about 3 years ago. But I find myself attracted to the DJ41 version on jubilee. Is this a common experience?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
My Dilemma, Flip or Keep...
So, I just received my White Daytona C, it's amazing, I love it. It is still sitting in the coffin, stickers and all... Now, I had no intention of flipping it as I really wanted the watch, but a friend offered me $18k for it. Not even a close friend, more of a friend of a friend who heard I was grabbing one (I wouldn't sell to a real friend bc I'd feel bad on the markup, but an acquaintance, it isn't really an issue for me). It literally just arrived an hour ago, I put it on, looked at it for a little while, then put it back in the coffin. IDK what to do... $5,600 won't change my life at all, but turning an almost 50% profit overnight is just so hard to walk away from. Honestly, I don't know if this thread will provide more clarity for me, I just have nowhere to express these thoughts where people appreciate the watch as much as I do.
