In this episode we answer a question from @see_me_watch about what's more important in watch buying decisions, the dial, or the movement?

We use a couple of Grand Seikos that Vu is extremely interested in as examples:

Grand Seiko SLGW003

Grand Seiko SLGW005

In this episode Lydia shares with Vu some of the watches that have been announced at Geneva Watch Days and Shanghai Watches and Wonders.

In this episode we talk about the watch Lydia borrowed from Oris for a week while she was visiting Florida last month. We talk about her thoughts on the watch and on Oris's new 2024 Sustainability Report.

⁠Oris Aquis Date 36.5 Mother of Pearl⁠

⁠Oris Sustainability Report 2024⁠

In this episode we answer a question from @spillingcoffeeoncars about vintage watches and whether or not service history is factored into the pricing.

For the first time we have a guest expert on the podcast, because @windsmeup recorded a detailed answer for this question!

In this episode we answer three questions from our awesome listeners, and discuss what we think about pocket watches (@ten10fiftynine), what the best water resistant kids watch is (Arthur), and which Tudor we'd pick for a one-watch collection (@yakubsaveli).

Kid's watch recommendations:

Casio LRW200H

Casio G-Shock BGD-5650

Flik Flak

Komono Rizzo

In today's episode we answer questions by @⁠anne_gmann ⁠and ⁠@lazybones_206⁠. Firstly, we discuss whether we make our watch buying decisions with our hearts or our heads. Then we talk about whether or not customizing watches is a good idea. And Vu rants about how the good old days were better because people made stuff, or something.

In this episode we talk about the recent Chanel partial acquisition of MB&F, a new Tissot PRX with a glow in the dark robot on it, and a secret watch club with only 58 members that isn't so secret anymore.

The Montblanc Minerva M58 Club story is based on this article from Watchonista:

Mark Cho, founder of The Armoury, posted a list of his 12 principles of watch collecting that he's put together after many years of collecting and learning. And in this episode we talk about the second 6.

In this episode we discuss the fact that most people, ourselves included, seem to follow the general practice to wear certain watches for certain things dictated only by their style, not their capabilities or specs. Should this change?
