Lots to get through here today! Thanks again to John and Chris at Watchgauge and NTH respectively for helping with the giveaway. And congratulations to the winner.

The wee Seagull is a re-buy for me, sapphire this time, so that I can relax about scratching the dial. Thanks to Clyve for the loan of the Tisell Explorer. It is pretty much a complete facsimile of the Roller, but for a few small details. Still, if that is what you want, then go for it, I doubt you would be disappointed. Cheers, Jody

Zelos are pumping out watches so fast, I can’t keep up! Is this a good thing though? When I reviewed the Swordfish back in November, it seems like they hadn’t tested the clasp. Now, erm, same again with the Abyss. Perhaps they shoudl slow down a bit and make sure their products are 100% before shipping them to reviewers and paying punters. The chrono is a cracker though. Assuming you like ’em big and chunky! Cheers, Jody

Perhaps as a result of having grown up in the ’80s, I’ve always had a bit of a thing for the Aerospace. So, late last year, I coughed up a fair amount of money for a lightly used example. As I sit here, I just posted it to a new owner. What happened? Watch on, and I’ll tell you. Cheers, Jody

Well, this is new(ish)! The design is from late 2017, but they changed the factory that produces them, and the result is a much better watch. Solid, chunky, and well made……. with the exception of the light bezel. A bit surprising that, perhaps it was just mine. Let’s hope they fix it for the Wave Master 1.5.5! Cheers, Jody

So, I reviewed the Q last year, and I thought it was fun but flimsy and overpriced. Guess what? The auto is exactly the same! But even more expensive. Be my guest, if you want it, but be aware that you aren’t getting much for your money, and you may end up flipping it at a loss without wearing it much. Cheers, Jody

My most ambitious mod project so far! (I swear I say that every time……) But seriously, those tiny chrono hands were a nightmare. But, I got the job done, somehow. I actually really like it. I’ll buy maybe a rally strap or something from Fluco for it, and call it a day. What is next?! Actually, I have another two mods already lined up……. Cheers, Jody

Another month, another Casio. This is an old favourite of mine, having owned one previously. $40 is the max you should pay, but beware of the fakes! Cheers, Jody

My first NTH, and quite a way to do it, by giving one away at the same time. Someone is going to be very happy with their $675 NTH Nazario, from NTH and Watchgauge. A very nicely turned out watch, with lots of nice touches. Definitely one of the best micros I have reviewed. All the best, Jody

So, I finally picked up a ‘5KX’. Not because I really wanted to, but because I felt that I had to. And it sat, unloved in the box in my house for 6 weeks before I even sized the bracelet – REJECTED! It’s not bad, but it’s kinda like my stepmum, and I miss my real mum. Cheers, Jody
