Bamford....you know, the London-based company that toys with your favorite high-end watches and makes them into something else?  Well, apart from tearing down your favorite brand and building it back up in their own image, they're also hard at work creating their own line of watches.  Today, we're talking a look at the GMT model they offer.  Now, this isn't just any GMT watch...it's a BAMFORD!  In true art haus style, the customization options are seemingly endless and make for something truly unique and yours.  We give you a glimpse into their online customizer and what comes out, well, that's for you to decide!

Rectangular Wrist Review:  The Longines Dolce Vita is a GREAT option for summer in so many ways!  We explore a few of them on today's episode and consider the many uses for such a classically-style watch.  Quartz?  Automatic?  Diamonds?  Leather?  Well, where are you heading off to?  Anything is possible with this model and we think it should definitely be part of your collection in some form.

To CasiOak or NOT to CasiOak?  What's in an homage?  Who REALLY wins the popularity contest?  Why should this piece be something you have for your collection AND why should you get MORE than one?  We ponder these things on today's episode!  

Eberhard & Co...since 1887.  Today, we're talking about the VERY cool Scientigraf watch.  Are you looking for the magnetic resistance you can take anywhere but without the Milgauss prices?  Look no further, you've found it!  

Do you go to the local guy across town?  Send it back to the manufacturer and wait?  Or, do you go with a larger service center with tried and true methods, excellent customer service, and a history of excellence?  We chat about some servicing options for watches and I tell you about  Bennisson Watch:  the hottest place to send your timepieces in when they need a little R&R!  

Game. Set. Match.  We take a look at the Wimbledon Rolex JUST in time for the opening days of The Championships Wimbledon.  Are you wearing one of these to watch Roger Federer play on Centre Court?  

Two new watches from two different design houses.  One is a great new spin on a modern classic.  The other?  A masterclass in design, manufacturing, and exclusivity.  We take a Hot Take approach to these two new offerings that just dropped in the last few days.  Two Hot Takes for the price of one episode AND it's under five minutes!

Robust? Check.  Visible in all conditions? Check.  Not the same old thing you'll see this summer?  Check check.  Today, we're taking a look at BALL and an excellent diver they have on offer.  Looking to add something a little different yet familiar to your collection?  Give this one a look today and see if it feels as good as it looks on your own wrist!
