Review – Alpha GMT Automatic Watch
As many new watch brands tend to do, Alpha watch designs are primarily of famous watches from brands like Rolex and Omega.

Review – Oceaneva Deep Marine Explorer Pro Diver
Oceaneva is a new microbrand from the Aquacy brand. At this time their mission with Oceaneva is offering the best value homage there is.
