Review: Citizen Nighthawk
The Citizen Nighthawk might be old news to a lot of watch people out there. It’s been around for a few years and has gotten a decent amount of attention in its day. But despite that we felt that it had a place on worn&wound, because it’s one of the best mass-market quartz offerings out there in terms of affordability, good design and value.

Graf Zeppelin Hindenburg LZ129 ref. 7060
A couple of months ago I stumbled across 2 curious watches, the Junkers Bauhaus 6060 and the Graf Zeppelin Hindenburg LZ129 7060, during my usual scouring of stores for new and interesting watches. What stood out about these watches was their use of a modified Miyota 9100 movement,

Review: Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military
The Ocean line by Steinhart is a group of Rolex homage divers. There are various models that cover everything from GMT Masters, to Sea Dwellers to a particularly well-done Explorer II 1655 (the Steve McQueen model), but the bulk of the Ocean series are Submariner homages.

Lüm-Tec Combat B16 + Super Combat B2
The Combat B line of watches by Lüm-Tec appeal to that macho side of our aesthetics; the side that looks at a mud covered truck or a stealth plane in flight and can’t help but think “cool”. They are tough, bold tanks-of-a-watch that beckon you to test their capabilities.

Review: Mutewatch
To be honest, I don’t usually wear a digital watch. I find the classic feel and analog dial of a mechanical watch to be far more rewarding and equally easy to use. Digitals are usually reserved for more strenuous activities that require a more rugged timepiece. That’s when I pull out my trusty G-Shock GX-56.

Maratac Mid Sized Pilot
Right around the time that Blake reviewed the Maratac Pilot, County Comm quietly released a second, smaller model. Dubbed the Maratac Mid Sized Pilot this 39mm version is the same in almost every way, it’s just smaller. It has the same Miyota 8245 automatic movement with small seconds, the same domed sapphire crystal,

Selling Your Watch Part II: A Photo is Worth a Thousand Words
18 May 2012 by jenloe / No Comments
In Part I you did homework and have a condition and starting price for your watch, the next step is to show people what you have. The hard truth is good photos can help you sell your watch; if your sales post has fuzzy photos or stock images it will keep people away and your watch will sit unsold.

<100: Stuhrling Classic Jupiter Day and Date
17 May 2012 by w&w / No Comments
Most of the time when I come across a really affordable watch that tries to do too much, it looks like a huge mess. Chances are a $60 skeleton chrono with a moon phase and rotating internal bezel isn’t too pretty. This is precisely why I like the Stuhrling Classic Jupiter Day and Date so much, as it manages to fit complication into an attractive and affordable package.

Watch Lust: The RGM 801 Line
16 May 2012 by w&w / 1 Comment
Once upon a time, there were many American watch brands, like Elgin, Waltham, Hamilton, Benrus, Gruen and Bulova, that made their watches here in the United States. Some of these brands used Swiss ébauches, assembling them into American made cases, while others actually made their own in-house movements.

Selling Your Watch Part I: What’s it Worth: Condition & Value
It happens to all of us at some point: the honeymoon is over. You wake up one morning and realize that the watch just doesn’t “click” with you any more. It’s time to move on. Which means you have to sell this watch. For first timers, selling a watch on-line can seem daunting.

Pairs Well With: Squale 101 Atmos
It’s not spring without torrential downpour. Sure, people get annoyed at this, but I tend to welcome it. The dark skies, pitter-patter of rain, empty streets and sidewalks; it’s kind of soothing… well, in NYC at least. The other part I enjoy is that April showers force you to dress differently.

Pairs Well With: Helson Gauge
The Helson Gauge is a beautiful watch with a distinct look and serious dive capabilities, but as Helson says on their website, it may not be “everybody’s cup of tea”. Modeled after a vintage depth gauge, the Gauge itself is a robust 47 mm in diameter and 22 mm tall, making it one of the larger watches on the market. But all this size is for a good reason, as it adds to the desired aesthetic of a vintage dive instrument.
