A Blog To Watch Weekly

157. Why They Don't Play Our New Game In Nepal

This week on aBlogtoWatch

Weekly, Rick, Ariel, David, and Ripley are, for the second
week in a row, all in their respective home cities and Rick teases the show's
preamble by announcing a very special new limited-edition series of watch cases
made by the team's AV garbage. That's all we'll say, for now. (The show is
banned in Nepal, but why?) All the guys have new podcast-designed mics and are
feeling quite professional, at the moment. Getting down to business, Rick asks
Ariel and David, "How limited is the new limited-edition Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Hi-Beat watch?"
(Ripley already knows because he wrote the article.) Next on the docket is the Panerai Radiomir 8 Giorni Eilean Experience Edition watch,
which Rick rightly points out looks identical to the Studio Underd0g X Fears "The Gimlet" watch
released on the same day. Ripley shares the backstory about the yacht after
which the Panerai is named — and a purchase comes with a trip to Sicily! It'll
only set you back 43k. Ripley shares his take on who did this design first,
historically, and he adds that the Studio Underd0g costs £1000
GBP (but doesn't include a trip to Italy. Rick addresses the elephant in the
room: Why would anyone buy the Panerai over the Studio Underd0g? You'll have to
tune in to learn the answer. This slides into a new game Rick devised called
"Judge the Collab" — you'll be shocked, I say, shocked
by the guys' ratings. The game catches on, and other colllab judgment follows.
Tune in to get all the juicy horological details.
