Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium review

In a world where the vast majority prefer low-end watches that can be replaced after a few years and where the vocal section of the watch community like to dote on and shout about their Rolex, Omega or other luxury timepieces there is this lesser talked about middle ground which just may represent the best […]

Tissot PRX review

Quick note: for some reason I still receive emails asking why I cover watches on McGST and not just tech, despite the fact that I mentioned a few times that this is not just a tech site. Well, I do not care much for traffic or to earn money from this site, but I decided […]

The Rolex Submariner (2020) vs the Bersigar BG-1651

You can buy the 2020 Rolex Submariner for £7,300 if you are looking for a lifetime wrist companion. OK, you can’t really buy one because they are so hard to come by, but some people give up their souls to sit on waiting lists for years on end and so the choice is yours if […]

The Q Timex HODINKEE Limited Edition (received)

When Hodinkee posted details of the new Q Timex I found myself making a purchase within 2 minutes of reading the article. The real strange part is that I owned a Q Timex a year ago and soon got rid of it because it felt cheap and unworthy of the asking price. 1 year later, […]

The differences between the Apple Watch series 6 and the Fears Brunswick Salmon

The title of this article is not a direct comparison of the two watches named because they are incomparable in almost every way. The only place in which they co-exist is in my mind as I continue to ponder the practical benefits of the Apple Watch against the craftsmanship of watches like the Fears Brunswick […]

The Apple Watch and longevity

One criticism if the Apple Watch is that it does not have the same longevity of a real watch and that is a perfectly logical argument. You cannot deny that it is designed to only last for a few years whereas a more expensive mechanical watch is one of few products available today that do […]

One week with the Oris Divers 65

My second Divers 65 from Oris has proved to be a much more positive experience than my first, and my first was pretty damn positive. For whatever reason I am finding myself appreciating it more and more each day, and for a variety of reasons. The accuracy is astonishing for this type of movement; under […]

Oris Divers Sixty Five 733 7720 4054MB review (part three)

I have owned the Sixty Five for just over two days now and so far I am feeling positive about it, a feeling that is not uncommon while in the honeymoon period. This, however, feels different because of how much time I spent choosing the exact model for my needs. I was helped by the […]

Oris Divers Sixty Five 733 7720 4054MB (part two: justification (again))

So, I wrote about some of my justification for buying this Oris yesterday, but there is a lot more to the story and it involves more thinking than someone who does not love watches could possibly understand. The overriding motivation for buying this watch was the fact that I wanted something that would fit in […]

Oris Divers Sixty Five 733 7720 4054MB (part 1: justification)

Justifying a watch is something that has perplexed me for some time and now that I have a choice I still don’t 100% know how I came to it. I have owned a Tudor Black Bay Red, a Black Bay GMT and a Black Bay 58, but none of them stayed with me. The Red […]
