Episode 33 is another interactive product review episode, but with a twist: rather than focusing on one watch, Rob and Alon compare two models, the Schofield Signalman GMT and the Schofield Beater B5.

(0:40) Why do Alon and Rob love Schofield so much?
(3:15) Consider checking out the founder’s (Giles Ellis) newsletter
(6:15) Who is Giles Ellis, and what is Schofield?
(10:50) What’s the significance of the number 29 with regards to limited editions?
(13:35) « How does it wear? Looks quite thick »
(19:45) How much is done in-house, and what about the case backs specifically?
(26:40) What’s the case finish on the B5?
(29:55) Whoa, that got weird fast
(31:10) How suitable is the watch for daily wear?
(35:08) What makes the B5 stand out from other Schofield Beater watches?
(43:43) Some dial color option discussions
(49:08) Bottom line: is the Beater B5 better than the Signalman?
(53:35) Would a better spec’d movement be an improvement, or would it take away from the watch?
