Retrowerk German Diver - The Watch of Rapture.

Hey Guys,

Have you ever played the game Bio-Shock? If you have, you will easily be able to connect the dots on this one. The Retrowerk German Dive watch with compass is such a killer vintage, stylized piece, that is the only way I can really describe it. It is Bio-Shock-ey!

I love the styling of all of the Retrowerk models, but this one is by far my favorite. The size of the watch is massive, the presentation is impressive, and the finish is killer. The compass on this model is removable which is a great feature AND it makes wearing it a little more friendly. With the compass this watch is about 25mm thick! It's 17mm without the compass.

The case of this Retrowerk is 316L Stainless steel with a brushed Bronze finish that I love. I really want to get my hands on a Panerai Submersible 1950 with the bronze case... but we will have to get to that one later. ll of the Retrowerk models house Rhonda Swiss made movements and use high quality straps, buckles and components. In my opinion, these watches offer a killer look for the money, and a terrific quality for the $600 - $1200 price tag.

Ziiiro Aurora, it only took a month!

Well guys, I finally got the lead out and put another video together. This start to the year has been insanely busy and I have been a little short on time. The good news is, it looks like things are mellowing out and I can get back to having a little fun! Now, part of my fun includes doing these reviews and posting video. What can I say, I'm a nerd. I enjoy talking about watches as much as the other stuff my wife thinks is nerdy. She doesn't know any better, but that's not I fight I can ever hope to win.

So...... I digress. The Ziiro Aurora. It's a killer watch and I have really enjoyed having it as part of my collection. Here is the video. I hope you enjoy it and get one of your very own.



Until next time,
