Spending Time
The Omega Sighmaster Super Racing, Iced-Out Casios, Fire Island Grail Watches, Jaeger-LeCoultre Honey, And Cristiano Ronaldo Gets A Free Watch
This week on the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, Ariel, Rick, and David are joined by Alex, a watchmaker and co-founder of the Fifth Wrist website and co-host of its companion podcast. The group wastes no time and starts off with a discussion of the perpetual dissatisfaction of watch enthusiasts by asking whether there's such thing an "Exit Watch," which inevitably evolves into a conversation about the guys' favorite personal watches and Ariel disclosing that he has so many watches, he forgets he owns some of them. Then, the gang has thoughts on CR7's Al-Nasser welcome gift, on the Swiss watch industry's annual financial highlights reel, on Seiko's (and other brands') increasing prices, and on JLC's used watches. There's also a riveting discussion about car clocks, and Omega's new Super Racing Speedmaster gets sighed at. Plus, Ariel finally shares the juicy details on his jacket!
