These episodes just get better and better. Thought provoking chat about watches and awesome banter.
That episode was quite wholesome! Really love how George is so passionate about quirky, weird or just more interesting watches. Not everyone needs a black sub, but even if someone wants one - that's ok because in the end it's just being passionate about watches for one's own reasons.
I’ve not been George’s greatest fan as this journey started, but his expression of passion about not being boring really pulled me. It’s about F%#^ing time George!
Andrew is superb. I’m sad that I have never encountered him before. Always thought provoking with every word well thought out and adding to the conversation.
Dan Henry owner here! I didn’t think I’d ever hear anyone talking about them. I only got it cause it’s what I can afford. But I’m pleasantly pleased with it….great show guys.
George loves the wacky, unorthodox and creative watches. Andrew loves the classy, timeless and deep watches. Adrian likes classic, traditional and functional watches, so it appears to me, and its nice to have such a wide eclectic bend of tastes.
Cyclops on the date…….”drops the Mike “
Something that piss me off…including a date window that looks like an after-thought. It’s location, how it can break up the dial design or cause strange shaped hour indices, when it’s background color doesn’t match the color of the dial, and at times…it’s inclusion at all.
Pet peeves:
Didn't think I needed a watch podcast but these have been a ton of fun to listen to. I love how you all have different opinions on things but enough respect for each other's expertise and experience to "politely" disagree and challenge perspectives.
As an owner of a Graham Chronofighter Big Date GMT I have just sworn at my PC screen.
Finally got round to catching an ep of this podcast after hearing Adrian mention it countless times - cracking chat lads, subbed.
I love how this discussion went so beyond just the chemical reaction of those fast-reacting metals into a sentimental and emotional debate about how those changes actually make you feel. The whole idea is just so bizarre and fascinating at the same time!
I’ve been “seriously” collecting watches for 20 years, since that first Speedmaster reduced (the one I could afford with first job savings). What I found out after all these years is that the “quirky” tend to leave the collection and the “boring” tend to stay. I see watches as timeless craftsmanship of beauty and engineering (include the Zenith Defy Ceramic for reference), and as deal breakers the trendy for the sake of trendy - insert watch brand/model with blue/pink/yellow coloured dial here - even when beautiful and well engineered. Side note: this show rocks!!!
Loving this channel fellas, it’s quickly become my favourite watch channel. Just great energy you all produce as a collective. Fresh and different. Man keep building this!
Great conversation as always guys.. loved every second. I have issues with fixation around in house movements. So many brands including the holy trinity didn't make in house movements in the 70s and 80s and back then it was acceptable and suddenly it's become front and centre!!
This show has made me really appreciate my more colorful quirky pieces, and always great fun to see you articulate gentlemen speak openly and honestly about the watch world, and the different journeys you are on.
Great job guys. Really enjoying the channel and spreading the world. Whilst I agree with George about not drinking the cool aid, buying a watch because you love it and not for the value going north, like any collection it has to balance between value and your personality. For example his comment on him purchasing limited edition collaborations being future collectables i.e. he is buying because they will going up in value…The challenge as someone new to collecting with no long term track record at an AD is how to find the balance. Clearly you have to access the grey market but that’s a land mine on its own. Would love to see some practical tips on how people can start, how do you manage AD relationships, ways to buy on the second hand market, how do you find out about upcoming collaboration releases and maybe how each of you think about a collection.
Highlight of my day watching you guys discussions . Looking forward to the next one
For BYOI, I have to nominate Traska. I have a Traska commuter, and it’s heavily inspired by the Oyster Perpetual. But it has so much more soul. Because Traska brings their own hardening process to the outer case, the watch feels like it has something of its own which Rolex doesn’t, and that elevates it beyond a simple homage at a cheap price. When they spoke about which watch you would wear in 5 years, I know that my Traska will still be there.
