Recording on the day after Halloween, we decided to take on an interesting topic. What watches are the unwanted pieces of candy that should get more love. Is there a watch equivalent of the Mr. Goodbar, an excellent chocolate and peanut candy bar that is often passed over for the more popular Snickers, Reese's Peanut Butter cup (or even better the pumpkins!), or Butterfingers.

This week is even more fun because not only do we have @brodinkee back, we are also joined by two friends from the Carolina Watch Club @ryanwearswatches and @bearded_southern_gentlemen. This episode was a ton of fun to record, I am sure you'll enjoy listening!

I am not going to give anything away here. I am looking forward to listening to this one too!

Spence and Buzz catch up with Wes and for the first time Cullen from Nodus Watches. These two have had a busy year, with several product re-launches. Their plans for the end of the year and 2022 are even bigger. We talk about the various models in the Sector family that will continue to drop later this year, their upcoming Avalon II with a NEW CLASP, and what they might consider releasing in 2022.

We also talk about the state of the watch industry, how microbrands were uniquely poised to weather the pandemic from a customer engagement perspective, and what we are seeing as the path forward for brands of all sizes. It is an exciting time to be an enthusiast because brands like Nodus are innovating and designing killer products that compete with "the big brands." 

It is always a great time catching up with guys from Nodus, we hope you enjoy!

In this week's episode, the guys talk loosely about the watches of James Bond, what an ideal watch for the superspy would be, and how long it has been since the No Time To Die Omega debuted compared to the movie it stars in.

This is a fun topic that we haven't covered yet, mainly because the watch came out before we started this podcast, and the movie didn't come out until this week!

This episode is a bit self explanatory and a bit like last week's episode with one major difference: It is our 1 year Anniversary of Brodinkee's podcast debut!

To celebrate we decided to riff off one of our favorite Family Guy episodes and do a little segment about what has been grinding our gears as of late. It ranges from odd lug widths, less than stellar lume, to watch collecting as a lifestyle instead of a hobby. Sit back, relax and let us know, what has been grinding your gears lately!

On this week's episode, Spence and Buzz reflect on opinions that have evolved or changed since we have been in the watch collecting hobby. Tastes change, opinions change, and people change. Watch collecting, for the two of us anyway, is no different. Whether it is a comment made on a group chat, opinions on watches in our collections that we never thought would be there, or at least wouldnt be there yet, or a woulda coulda shoulda.

Sit back and relax as Spence and Buzz go through a fun walk down memory lane.

In this episode, the gang is all back (as you can probably tell from the intro music!) and we discuss a few things. First, we get back to our usual tropes with wrist/drink check and fresh forum finds. We also review some of the listener suggestions for Spence's newest addition (we made it to 10 listeners!).

The topic du jour, however, is picking one watch LINE to wear exclusively from. There is a good discussion, some technicalities, and a good debate, but we do think there is a correct answer and a few other good but less-correct answers. Hope all of you enjoy!

This episode is a bit of a misnomer, but it fits the discussion Spence and Buzz have. Spence and his wife are expecting a third little boy at the end of October. As many know, he has a watch for each of his two sons (stainless steel, released in the year of their birth). So this draft episode (which coincides with a fantasy football draft) is to help Spence analyze his next pick. Buzz does an excellent job making a case for Spangler's pick, but then also does his best Mel Kiper to tear it apart!

This is an episode where the audience can also participate! Let us know what you think of the picks, or if there is anything we might've overlooked!

This week Spence sits down with friend of the podcast and longtime listener @ryanwearswatches to talk watch collecting, the strange ways this hobby has turned since he got into it, and just general nonsense. He might be the only member of both the Carolina Watch Club and the Boston Watch Shots. He is a traveling man who also is celebrating a new watch addition. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this lengthy episode!

In this weeks episode, Spence and Buzz catch up after Buzz's absence last week. We chat about what watch he identifies most with (hint, its not in his collection, and it might not even be one watch...). We also have the usual pleasantries, a few off the wall Fresh Forum Finds, and a bit of a Spence Soliloquy at the end.
