You two are so interesting to listen to and you are obviously friends too. I always learn lots and I normally listen whilst driving so always look forward to clicking on the links afterwards. It’s a lot of work and costs money but the pod is brilliant 💪👌
binged this like a tv series in about three weeks god help my wallet (now know way more than i should about watches i can't afford)
Promise me you will never again mention a watch reference without also mentioning the brand - amazingly, you have some listeners who don’t speak fluent Patek or Rolex, and may never be able to afford one, and need a little help in knowing what you’re talking about.
Oh, and, one of my favourite watches happens to be a Seiko 5 with an open case back, which I would FAR rather have than a Rolex with palm trees on the dial!
