I have pretty much lost track of how many SKX I bought, modded, and sold over the last few years, but when the music ended and they were discontinued, I wasn’t happy with what I had. I reckon now might be a good time to pick one up, assuming you don;t already have five, that is. Cheers, Jody

If you are sick of looking into a box full of automatics, all stopped at different times and dates, then you need a ‘Grab and Go’! I like the look of this one, and I like the spec sheet. A couple of rough edges, but those are easy for them to work through. Cheers, Jody.

I need little excuse to gather a bunch of divers and get my UV torch out…. It was bloody close with the Pelagos, but the plucky homage won the day. Cheers, Jody

So the MDV-107 reminds me rather a lot of the MDV-106…….. Ha! Perhaps not so much a new model as a couple of new bezel inserts for the old one. But it does show that Casio are listening to their customers. Here’s hoping they listen to us and release a 40mm version…..with sapphire…..and better lume……..and…….. Cheers! Jody

P.S. This video is not sponsored by Casio Australia. I could not have been quite as cheeky if they had been sending me a free watch now, could I? 😉

My first Mondaine! My last Mondaine! They are unlikely to be too happy with me for saying it is overpriced, but it is. You are paying for the design, which is iconic, but the specs aren’t there today, so make sure you get the best deal possible. Cheers, Jody

If not a complete 180, then I’ve certainly done a 120 on this watch! The styling elements that bugged me in steel, now (almost) work well with the strong ‘fauxtina’ look. I am a sucker for it, I appreciate, but not everyone feels the same. I’d love a version 2 though…….. Cheers, Jody

8 minutes of positivity and love, followed by 8 minutes of negativity and griping. Which 8 minutes are you looking forward to the most? Ha! 2020 has been a shocker, but I’ve reviewed some great pieces nonetheless. Happy holidays to all and roll on 2021! Cheers, Jody

A serious contender for my Top 5 Watches Of 2020 list next month. Great film too. I only really have one complaint, and that is the lack of A/R coating. It makes it hard to see the beauty of the dial and it is a proper bugger for me to film. Ha! Cheers, Jody
