Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast – Episode 358! For our final podcast to be released while we were in Switzerland for W&W, we are joined by Sophy Rindler, Tirath Kamdar, previous guests, and Kristina Driggs-Walkling from eBay. Christina has been at eBay’s watch category for 2 years but has been with the company for 18 years. She also has a great voice. The Rodger Dubois stand however doesnt sound so great so excuse the volcano noises every so often even though we recorded in a “studio” 🙂

Wristwatch check: Kristina is wearing her IWC 327012 Pilot Mark xviii Tirath is wearing his IWC iw501002 Big Pilots Le Petit Prince 46mm Rikki is wearing his Horage Tourbillon-1 Horage Supersede Dave is wearing his H Moser Streamliner Green Dragon Sophy, who’s in the background to start, is wearing the Rolex Submariner m126610ln W&W releases: Being a lefty, Kristina, though not a Rolex person, likes the Rolex GMT Master ii m126720vtnr. which name suits it best: the Grinch, Mountain Dew, or Sprite. She was very impressed with Historique 222 Tirath enjoyed seeing the Rolex Sea Dweller m136660 and Tudor Black Bay Pro Dave’s high lights were the VC 222, Moser Blacker Than Black, and the SLGT003 Kodo Constant-force Tourbillon.

Watch Authentication https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XeDoR5PFp4 eBay serves as a barometer for the secondary value of pieces. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=moon+swatch&_sacat=0 eBay’s Sneaker Authenticity Guarantee is Here Dave is gone so we upgraded with Sophy. She really liked the Trilobe Une Folle Journee Manufactured using a titanium aluminum vanadium alloy, and the floating rings supported by 9 pillars that connect to the caliber. The hours are elevated to 10.2 millimeters above the movement with the minute and seconds rings slightly above it. They are satin-brushed and polished on the edges (great attention to detail), with crisp white printed numbers.

Une Folle Journee translates to a crazy day and this watch does look a bit out there, in a very good way. I love this piece. They retail for $24000.
