Listen "Four Wolf Moon"
Episode Synopsis
Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks on Twitter), Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon), and WWR Managing Editor (IE, the guy who actually runs the site!) Patrick (@PatrickWatches).
That's right: we've got us a full four-wolf moon this week!
Victor kicks off the wrist check with a watch he recently assembled from parts featuring an Elgin dial, which we then explain what that means. Patrick is wearing the Mido Ocean Star GMT, which he's in the process of reviewing. This kicks off a quick discussion on different types of movements, who makes what, etc. John and Nicholas (well, really Nicholas) merely smile and nods here. Speaking of John and Nicholas, John has an Omega Speedmaster Professional and Nicholas has his PT5000-based SteelDive. The crown is too small to turn comfortably but the watch seems to keep time pretty well. For less than $200 it's hard to complain.
This brings us to one of our main discussions of the week, and that's whether or not people like Nicholas, who like watches but who maybe don't have a spare $5,000 to buy every shiny Omega that comes down the pike, are perhaps "doing it wrong" by gravitating toward brands like SteelDive. We've touched on this in the past but now Patrick gives his take. John adds some interesting insight from the world of alternative investing, and how that's driving up the cost of some watches.
There's a bit more, but that about does it for this week.
Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode.
