catch up there’s this any of this ring a
bell at all I have not seen us in any
museums no we are catching up we are on
the rails we are hard in fact we should
probably actually just have a wee look

people I was gonna say I’ve not actually
observed how many episodes everybody’s
done but we must have over ticket we
must be close to love and watches of it

them who knows okay and there and who’s
in the distance to brought watch snobs
or they’re up at one hundred and twenty
five hundred and twenty is like yeah so
somebody can do the maths and work out
how many weeks of production at this
piece or you know if we did thirty a
week or four a week how quickly I think
we should do a deal in neutral Daily
News sure if there’s a demand for a deal
in you sure you knew we are there
because well I’m healing all the time as
people are like less than toys in the
morning and they’re gonna work now
listen and toes when I coming back now
listen enticement in the German people
just obviously door of any life
whatsoever only problem is that if we
were to do this every day we would have
to talk about more than just watches
some more so guys remember well that’s
true but then his videos are like a
waste in a minute all he does like three
or four shows a week for another Pope
yeah please two more so yes he could he
could display pencil sharpening and I
would say there were no pencil
sharpening Co action with Tim Moore so
it’s a living
it isn’t it it’s not much of a living
yeah have our have you never been to the
pencil museum in Kendall no I can’t tell

world’s most dope thing but I paint so
museum it’s actually it was a factory
they meet them I just like to thank you
for waiting the gap of coolness between
me my motorbikes my leather jacket and
you in your pencil collection just
because you think you’re an extra from
Greece actually having said that you put
you post up which you didn’t get a
comment that I made on it I probably
doesn’t ignored you
no no no cause you said her cocaine and
it was a post of your Omega so it must
have been in this Tuesday yeah I don’t
get that joke it was a rest shot what
that I was referring to the fact that
you would like one of these American
high school students from the 70s that
wore locator colorful jackets with a
funny card cuffs on them and you are
making some kind of reference to do with
ancient fashion I just ignore that
that’s just what you need to figure out
if I can’t be bothered replying to
something up in any brain work and I’ll
just show you ha
because then I guess the other idea to
continue the conversation about oh so
this show is brought to you in the same
way that saves me street used to be
brought to you by a number and a letter
this show is brought to you by the sound
huh apart from that how are you how are
things I’m fine I’m fine I’m good some
good health okay it’s my Health’s fine
I’m fainting the flab and we’ll age
slowly no I hope that you had some
health issues well health issues did you
hear that heart I hope that you will get
obese the UK and you watch in your rust
and playing the string mastery over yes
hey it was an additional free coughing
fit just I didn’t follow from good
measure yeah I took delivery of the muff
and it is lovely is that his name Murph
and I delivery of the Hamilton morph
which is the interstellar homage watch
kumoi between whoo dinky and Hamilton
and I got one
that’s an enormous edition packaging
because you know I’m just a sucker for
that sort of thing and it turns out the
e the limited-edition package in this
absolutely Rock and it’s phenomenal I
thought it was just gonna be like a
limited edition cardboard box is I can I
saw it behind you still a plastic box
but it is pretty cool so that’s the same
parent company as Omega who gave you the
biggest boxes in the world that it’s
true yes I suppose I should have
expected that that this is kind of all
make oh right but anyway so opened up I
think the only thing I have noticed and
maybe always not of course enough is is
I’m limited edition packaging I think
it’s two and a half roughly two and a
half thousand but it’s not number than
anyway mm-hmm I can that can see but
anyway there we go
so got the watch I thought that is crack
and it’s 42 millimeter so proper size
hey I thought right we’ll put that on
unbuckled it from the cushion it was
really tight to unbuckle even put fast
and finish and really tailor starts fame
yeah so it says in say a scene then put
it on my wrist and tried to tighten the
buckle strap was it was just a brand new
leather strap on the last hole
it’s not the highest it’s not the
highest quality strap it’s perfectly
adequately it’s a decent strap but it’s
not like excuse generator running well
here yeah yeah so you can tell can you
so put it on thought that’s a bit moose
where my watches between my you
experience are you aha yep line it’s ok
gonna go wish for just a
oh you don’t like it when people buy new
experiences oh yeah yeah yeah
is it me that’s rubbing off on you I
don’t know or is it you that’s rubbing
off on me are we slowly morphing into
each other or is it like no Ikes I’m not
gonna go with that now I’m stopping this
analogy analogy is stopped
continuing with the story continued so
tightened the the watch strap I’m a
Trekkie I can get to the next hole she
said to the next pootis the next day who
on the strap uh-huh and sent the watch
keyring across the room as the spring
bar detached from the top top of the
watch from the 12 o’clock position so
yeah a field in the first place put on I
then had a look at the spring bar and I
would see the spring bar is ever so
slightly too short by the hole in the
watch strap is really really tight in
relation to the width of the spring bar
[Laughter]
no are you sure this wasn’t just a bad
dream because I remember once you go
rolling around in this world looking for
a spring ball attached to the worse
though good of a light day that that
room the end of the story
how’s that going store today I’m skew
see I go sorry I doubt the watch is
lovely what great room happy days let’s
move hot and well I was just like a bone

event in Amsterdam if you would like to
go on the Scotties watched invitation
give us a show that’s good
so although you have not actually
written in US and you you’ve can i sat
back as gob just hated to be clear
review thing last thing so all the new
stuff there’s been same I’ve written
more articles in the last week than you
have remember that we’ve had the first
of April I feel what a friend well yes
you did okay no I suppose you short for
the moon and ended up in her Styles I
did better than some to be fair will
join her tell everybody about that’s
amazing article you’ve put on the
website well we decided on the shaggy
dog story only proof ooh okay I decided
on the shaggy dog story as being what we
should do for April Fool’s so we thought
let’s pick a brand Matt being mind
nobody knows you and STR but is the
least lately to Sue’s if we start using
some of them intellectual property and
we decided that Moser was clearly the
great winner because if they can’t take
a humorous prank the expense or lovely
the expense then we’ve got no chance so
we picked on Musa and just ran a series
of stories Instagram post in the run-up
to 1st of April indicating that our
first collaboration watch was geodes
and they reviewed it and eccentric said
you can read this to articles in the web
site in numerous Instagram posts about
that you can follow the thread but Sir
Pratt well I’m pleased we caught quite a
few people I hope yeah I was growing
right that got raped to the bottom of
our article before the realize that we
were completely on the windup by
releasing a limited edition Musa watch
called
houki that poit tunes and if you don’t
know whether word buki means then giggle
Buki it’s a Scottish slang word and you
can realize that the other watch was
called the gallows
so you want to google for Scottish slang
the gallows and the bouzouki Rickey’s
was the big icky Maine was the gallows
subtle deaf a subtle differences in the
clowns and the watches then you can have
a read at that but we got a really great
response on today messaging and on the
post from Edward Mellon who is the chief
executive CEO family member of of Moser
who appreciated the joke at what was
slightly his expense and promised not to
sewers and promised not so he he forgave
us when we asked for forgiveness on the
amazing did you also notice the official
Audemars Piguet I couldn’t go involved
as well I have to say it took me a week
while I really had to investigate as to
what was going on there in case somebody
was managing to pretend to be them and
it’s it’s sort of the official APA ké EP
have two semi official accounts but
they’re both blue Tex and yes as we
started our lead-up to the 1st of April
a couple of days before people were
suggesting we were doing tartan war
cheese which actually was what we were
doing an EP suddenly jumped into the mix
seeing basically stop stealing our ideas
and you had a conversation with them so
yes that was a bit surreal very surreal
but a well so sizzle but I had taught
them back but I knighted him we’re
talking about trawling that guy that
appeared in our Instagram DMS asking if
one of us could just send one of our
watches to him oh yeah yeah no that was
interesting did you say no it doesn’t no
no but he was after you be LNR he
thought that we would send he just
appeared I mean you started the
conversation yeah and and you took the
baton and run Rafa and I decide to run
with it and just see how far it gets Oh
am I still get his home phone number I I
gave him or wors but I stopped the
conversation I was about to give him the
phone number of somebody in a well-known
watch brand in Scotland who’s
NIEM also begins with Richard so that he
could phone up said boutique and asked
to speak to Richard and see how far he
got but III declined that would be our
an authorized dealer of the Rolex as in
Glasgow an authorized dealer of robux
and Glasgow whose owner happens to have
the same name as ice yes it’s so shout
out to that particular shop in their gay
arcade yep a so yeah yeah I’m not quite
sure of what you expect to happen I
think you probably persuaded them to
give us a few dollars but I decided that
maybe he was suffering from slight
mental health issues or something so
just leave them to it well let’s see it
was our schnapps or perhaps that is true
yes so if you wrote the case remember
the chaps name or easin telegram handle
off top ahead yes it is listening it is
bizarre how it would be really
interesting to know I see who our direct
message stream day looks like
and we get three or four things add a
really nice comments questions all those
sorts of things and we were small we
have small fry if it really interested
to know just what Chung some of these
beggar boys the barking jacks or hooting
keys or a book to watch it’s whether
you’re receiving and they’re under dm’s
they must get some absolutely crazy
stuff st. well what are the April Fool’s
things did you spot from the other guys
there was a few there was some pure
efforts there was a couple in particular
that were like yeah that’s quick get a
Adrian a barking Jack was involved in
quite a good one but it’s just an
Instagram only one which was about a
spatial cream for your wrists to meet
them look much better in all the rest
shorts that you do I thought that was
quite cleverly teamed up back up like
Otherworld no and instagramers whose
names I accompanied forget but have a
look on Ian’s
page for that who dinky did quite a good
one
I mean was which was about sieving
salmon and about how salmon are becoming
increasingly endangered because of the
overfishing of salmon for the supply of
salmon day old watches which was bang
haha yes or that one eh
was it fun was what was fun the worst
one I thought was Seco in breast
you know because the Fannie’s at sickle
who at this press release it was always
good well no it wasn’t because not only
did they put an in at the bottom of it
and the URL for the website address it
was let’s say call us a.com forward
slash place forward slash april fools
and even though they did that because
all these Fannie’s on facebook and
instagram thinking it was real yes it
was a bit of a giveaway that in the
actual press released it mistakenly and
way if the fact that it was an April
Fool it was quite a good attempt at one
and this was going to be the race crack
our fee swatch mm-hmm which I don’t know
being a main seekers new placing
structure goodness knows how much we do
what they would have wanted for us yes
that was quite pure a far in it was a
good idea but it feels miserably yeah
the table went early with a row X
announcing the discontinuation of the
sub which I gave was that was a
reasonable effort the in was interesting
for me it was a blog to watch right I’m
not I’m not sure of what was good on
there but a Leo Adams has written three
thousand words I mean he must have been
either he’s written it because he’s been
flying back from Basel completely J why
I mean it’s a very good article but it’s
three thousand words for an April Fool
jokes what’s all nonsense and it’s about
Omega returning to the moon and
depositing a shared Lord of speed mass
was on the moon for somebody to find
eventually and all the rest of it but
it’s the use and words listen III I got
through more I skimmed all over and read
most or but it was entertaining but it
was three thousand words I mean April
Fool’s would have been over by the time
most people would have been if if the
Rayleigh debates ice chunks a little bit
fun I’ll tell you something they’ll make
our home towards an April Fool’s joke
I don’t know if you knew but that’s one
I started to get pointed out by our
Nashville reporter rattlin Daniel
Wellington a large Catalan right she
said to me on Facebook have you seen the
omega page on Instagram no I haven’t
this is good Chico and the business
black-and-white photo of I can a young
skinny don’t know youth some days
slightly younger than me
I want younger than you and he was
sporting some Omega thought okay then
she said read the comments and every
single comment was about this game
apparently it’s Cindy Crawford son and
his name is Presley and for some reason
is doing some work for Omega because his
mom nigga or as an ambassador or friend
of the brand but everybody in the
comments were going bananas with us
because apparently a couple months ago
this guy get done for drink-driving okay
and I don’t know if Omega doesn’t know
this or didn’t care about this but there
was hundreds if not thousands of
comments and every single one was like
who the hell’s a sweet guy why is he on
here and do you know about his drunk
driving childhood he could have killed
somebody
if he’d had them right and then idea
later or make a deleted up okay was an
April Fool’s joke but it wasn’t was he
just promoting the brand or a particular
watch hopefully it wasn’t the three to
one movement the most important watch it
no as news in the last two decades no I
have no idea I have got a screen capture
overlook is karellen it obviously sent
me now and Facebook that was an
interesting one that they may be hoped
had there been an April Fool’s joke and
wasn’t good goods so yeah April Fool’s
passed without too much incident or
tragedy other than that yeah there are
some good efforts I thought I got an
April Fool’s joke from floor lane
alright okay because he may submit you
see podcast is done well the guy is like
I don’t know if he’s like comes on and
apart a little dimensions but every so
often you get a reflow do Victorville a
number of station and then it goes radio
silent sorry okay David if you from ever
TVs listening Suzanne yes he’ll be it’ll
be deep in some sort of research project
for Omega or siku or somewhat just have
been late if I he’s probably just being
wary of we were let’s see that Omega or
so yeah watch group will happen nothing
that’s right he’s probably when we just
been way over there
either battery maybe tried to breach the
nd that made them all sane and so he’s
been locked up and I do like the hmm
what we do Swiss watch do I look like it
probably have table service at least
very expensive table service yes and
talking about very expensive table
service I observe I’ve talked with
Baselworld the market seems to have
decided what Basel world was like I
think all the reports that I’ve watched
have seen have generally given a thumbs
up mm-hmm but I think a lot of that has
been down to Omega and or a swatch group
not being there did you know as well as
like me talking about Lisa yeah she I
mentioned this on the podcast we talked
where I spoke to Adrienne from bar
tonight we recorded life and in the
subsequent one we recorded a few days
later on everything I said then that has
come true early on insight so and what
people seem to be attributing how much
they enjoyed the show to the fact that
there was actually lace there so they
could actually spend more time from a
journalist point of view actually go in
meeting greeting and that because Omega
where and swatch good weren’t taking up
the entire Center and I read this week
something I didn’t realize is that
partly the reason why all the stuff was
in the middle that swatch group normally
are you peeping before is that Rights
Watch Group are normally in the middle
of the hall their main brands are and
then not kind of spread there with all
the birds you know and that this year
that was a big seating area yeah water
feature actually the reason that that
was there is because Omega had already
paid for the space and in fact had Omega
naught paid for the space the me will
have moved
other brands into the space that’s we
opted because you would think when you
booked space our trade sure you wouldn’t
have if you pay for space I’ll trade
sure you don’t usually have concrete
plans of where you’re going to be you
know always in the same space every year
yeah they are but unless that’s written
into your contract when you’re actually
getting your space allocated then you
would think that did we just move people
around
all they would refund them have
obviously the one refund on the money
but don’t refund them so it’ll be
interesting see with the next
knew that if that was correct whether
they actually do firm up that Central
arcade because I think they’re late sub
right wing benefited from the not being
there because you walked in the front
door and all you could see straight in
front of you was the big break line
Yelling’s that’s right so I’ll be
interesting to see whether they’ve
ricotta but a lot other reports seem to
have been the folk of really enjoyed
that and actually that’s been because
there’s been West they are and you just
be able to get round and see more things
and spend more time however at the more
important end the market has marked down
the owners of Basel world by quite a
significant percentage I think it was
something like their share prices gone
down to the lowest number eighteen years
so this exhibition center which is very
dependent on on Basel is not having a
good time and we’ll probably be losing
his shaved a lot of money so I’ve been
tracing you see how they get around that
in terms of three more money next year
well I did a lot of research because I’d
said in the heat of the moment when I
was at North Adrian that I thought that
Basel world was the only Shore and that
complex because every year when you go
in it’s the exact same buildings or
structures and sayd in the exact same
place but the exact same bets and bobs
and I was wrong apparently they use that
whole Center for different things so I
don’t know will they store all these
pop-up buildings and then bring them
back and recreate them year after year
but this coming cos MCH group yeah I
mean they were valued a number of years
ago a half a billion Swiss francs and
they’re no don’t to under a hundred
million Swiss francs so I can probably
trade my blue alpinist for them because
it’s such a limited edition I could
probably sell my Batman for the
commonplaces good produce there you put
your Batman together with my output us
and we can take over the world so it’s
good take a little Basel waddle didn’t
convert it to Scottish watches sure
Scottish watches bad well lesson do we
really want to get I think we should get
her isn’t there must be a wee corner of
Basel world no everybody forgets is
there a bit wait the Zenith guide will
the equipment in the in the loft there
Zoe corner or Basel waddled where
they’ve actually got stands no so we
could just say a lot about could
do you think we could sneak in and do a
pop-up okay you know you get these folk
that do go to my gardening you’ll not
know that this fool to do what’s go get
our gardening do you you don’t hang
about this subject have you ever heard
of guerilla gardening no is this
something to do be a new watch
no it’s i’ma have a mixture of my two
favorite pastas watches and gardening so
people go along to high streets or
whatever and they’ll just take up at
that tarmac and plant some flowers
it’s called guerilla gardening anyway we
could do like guerrilla scorch watch
these pop-ups down that basil or 20 20
so we’ll just take along like fulltone
people cheers a weave you know all that
kind of fool don’t stuff and we’ll just
go into a quiet corner and set up see if
anybody in security notices and then all
the cool people can just come along and
sit with us and we’ll just play the way
they were
it’d be like Scotty’s watches meet up in
Basel world do you think we should do
this no it’s not a good idea no basis
not a good idea I may even go the
biggest bad a be a good point bill bit
me God so yes so that’s Basel world is
that while the overall impression
appears to have been positive from
everyone attended the market has marked
I’m a write down in terms of value of
the company that it’s hosting it so
we’ll see what impact that has going
forwards well I think not me actually
bounce back because there’s been so many
armchair pundits that we then and we’ve
seen all the videos and probably held a
couple of podcasts people that no
offense wreck I know you do actually go
to shows were in LA but people that
don’t go to show is throwing the road
and and saying things about all that was
a wash true Ivanovic blah blah blah
there was a lot of that but the guys
like you said that when enjoyed it
immensely
the brands that will they enjoy the
extra exposure and I suppose if you were
to go along like had done in previous
years I’m quite methodical but her go
around things I’ve done events for years
but somebody turning up see a journalist
or member of the public they may have
that whole formal thing the fear of
missing out that there’s so many brands
and things to get round that they only
spend a couple of seconds a couple of
minutes walking around town areas
whereas this year you got to enjoy you
got to speak to people you got more over
you know it’s like a
you’ve got so many movies available to
your Netflix you don’t know what to
watch there’s nothing on
and if you’ve so many channels those
less to watch because there’s just so
much so maybe it’s about like that and
that’s Gio do you know what people have
managed to slow down the pace a little
enjoy things and the brands of Matt well
again because rule Lakes and Trudeau
released crap other brands of mice to
step in and get some more able so I
think will happen as yeah I was Tina we
don’t just know but there’s all these
brands look at what the core of this
year I’m pretty sure that all ste rate
Lynn we’re gonna make a decision shortly
in all the rest of I think we’ll sign up
for next year and will be a rebound and
which ties a little bit with what you
were telling me or fear about AP and
some watch pricing yes Jason mean and
just Thanos on watch box or near
Thursday show I’d been looking what been
having market prices and had noticed the
same thing that I had noticed in
analysis that we do which goes on the
website generally on a Monday or Tuesday
which is the EP prices had certainly
stagnated in terms of resale and gray
market and the question was being asked
of is this a cooled 1159 effect has that
actually damaged the rest of the brand
not a sense that it’s taking a fall off
or has it just been a basal effect and
for the king of two weeks are gonna get
really nobody’s paying any attention to
what EP and in this case like some Omega
are doing so analysis I did on Monday
which we published late on Monday which
suggests that actually the EP well it’s
stagnated for a couple of weeks the
price demands have no have no started to
rise again but within the marketplace
the mean thing that is driving and it’s
just nuts
degree and the use market is your
delightful beer and our no vintage
Edition know that it’s been retired so
are you planning and buying a house or a
speedboat when you sail your bln are I
was thinking of booking myself on a
SpaceX flight I may go to the moon I
think and then and then teak I see that
there’s a pond what you do is you sell
your beyond our mm-hm
you use the money to go on a SpaceX
flight and you wear your Apollo
eat was it contest yep you will your PO
eat and actually take into space and
then when you come back with that
there’s actually been in space yeah I’ll
be worth a fortune in fact if I me be
Elio Adams is or something here maybe
we’re messing that tracking what we
should actually be doing is be gang
together to send a load of speed masters
on the first Branson or SpaceX launch
and then we’ll we pin a fortune by
sailing them as actually having been in
space exactly we should boomers or
something I had I wouldn’t say an
argument I had a chat on one of our
Instagram post but I’d put up talking
about the the place of Batman’s and all
the rest of it and they would rise and
it would be that’s Nova that some guy
took it upon himself to reply and tell
me I was talking oh shit and to watch
what happens so I get obvious the rise
of taken in the past for trait has been
nuts okay if you look at our market
numbers they have virtually 80 or 90
percent of the upward drive in the
market has been beyond our and bizarrely
beyond our rule so the the Pepsi as well
I think I just been dragged along yep at
the same time I think basically
stabilized oh and it mate dumps lately
but it’s no discontinued that’s the fact
so there aren’t any more common all
these and I’ve seen a lot of people
really first off because they’d put
their name down in a waiting last a year
ago and know they know that when they
get called up after get called up
they’re gonna get offered the Jubilee
and a lot of people don’t have a strong
opinion between which one I look better
I’ve never seen any of them in the
Jubilee forgiveness I saw one of them oh
yeah okay that I’ve not seen the pic
I’ve not seen I don’t think we know it
yeah yeah give her eight their name so
as if somebody can go and tap the door
and that’s w-what what is it wait to get
I don’t want to say anything negative
about those to the legislature was I’m
Jerry no mate at the last there we go
again who I made that red bar Edinburgh
the euro nah he runs he’s a pilot and he
has got a really cool Instagram account
of amazing watch was on it he’s good
basically they’re if you got to go and
buy the baseball card say of baseball
card sets and have the best collection
I’ve got he’s got out of rule exports
models everything but I’ve seen the the
Pepsi Jubilee which is pretty much
exactly the same as a weight gold was a
different obviously bracelet honor and
I’ve said before I don’t appreciate it
except the colors are very nice and the
Jubilee Pepsi seems to look better
because it’s brighter colors than the
black and the blue on the Jubilee which
doesn’t either it doesn’t work because
of the color scheme it doesn’t want
because you’ve had in your brain for so
long that’s so that’s what she’s
supposed to look yes I mean it’s like
meeting your uncle and he’s weird not
Scott thank you nothing
so oaky not quite sure where that now
she came from but fair enough with
regards to that was a buddy to memory
that me I’ve got another Instagram
thingy to talk about did you see that I
got myself banned from Grants equals
page ah I had heard a rumor that you’d
had a bit of a run-in with the grand see
who people
yeah who’ve taken a bit of a dislike to
your dislike of some of their products
well I don’t know if it’s some of their
products it was one in particular
they’ve been hammering this release at
Basel I Nina appeared on my newsfeed
consistently and it is the grand secret
20th anniversary which Accola
is the the chronograph GMT do you know
what I’m talking about
well they’ve completely confused me I
thought I was getting a handle on the
various see Corinne G’s in terms of
grand siku and then within Segal the
whole party thing the prospects thing
the tracer I’m no completely confused
again so this is the grand cycle this is
the one that works late it’s the one
that’s getting looks like his guy can i
mahogany wouldn’t like a bentley
dashboard
dial right okay and then what they’ve
done is what I said in my comment on
their advert was something on the lines
of s Luke’s about Lake House or a 90
sports car fantastic exterior looks
great performance but Jesus Christ that
interior is horrendous because it looks
like they have just put every dial
engage you could possibly find
20 year old Subaru Impreza tarball and
thrown on a dial it’s got like all these
offset dials and it’s get the per
reserved gauge and all this stuff
everywhere and it just looks like an
absolute abomination so I said that and
like I can’t see the pitch anymore
yeah when we’d imagine that seeing that
about that makes him upset and I was
just trying to help in this I’m just
trying to so this is the grand see
called GMT 20th anniversary the ground
cycle Spring Drive 20th anniversary a
limited edition chronograph GMT and
high-intensity titanium get a right it’s
not real what that can disagree with you
but your analysis not even is
symmetrical let’s just wait flying is
another way a busy watch I don’t mind
it be an asymmetrical but that is a busy
bee mm-hmm
yeah I’m just they’re not quite sure
what see about that other than and how
big is it
it looks like it’s a monster I’m not
sure on the size the what out the what
I’m looking at is this one that think
they’re naming like the tiger or the
lion or something because of the way
either it will excite the far right the
the the the fee so I’m not sure that the
main culture is gonna catch on mmm but
yes I mean I yeah okay it’s not pretty
this week it’s not a real release of the
pork is it it is not to think is what a
number of people were hoping for from
sequel okay I was hoping for but to be
fair Oh 500 pieces were wait twelve
thirteen thousand dollars they really
have lost the ploy see whoever me yeah
yeah I mean some of this I remember that
grand sequel event we were are hmm I
mean there was some very expensive pcs
there that were kind of like ap money
into unfinished in terms of the gold and
the deals and they were lovely they were
thirty or forty thousand paint and I
could see the value in that
yeah but this as a thirteen thousand
pound chronograph I mean that just opens
up so much competition that is within
that price bracket well I mean I’m not
under presenter in the pricing but there
was the Bulgari oak to finesse mo GMT
has the suppose anything and a crammed
on chronograph GMT all these different
features and functions and the dial on
out looks decent
so yeah it’s about $17,000 about $5,000
more but once you’re in the market for
spending 15 grand and a watch the
chances are it doesn’t take much for you
to be in the market to spend 17 grand on
a watch and I think if it was between
this and the Bulgari I’d definitely go
in for the Bulgari mm-hmm Boca dear
Bulgari there are so many waters brands
really people don’t know how you
pronounce them well that lead under
something I told you or Fiat again that
was given yeah yet that doesn’t
congratulate my earlier segue so we’re
gonna congratulate you too much in yours
well it’s not the deal on the watches TV
and there were no reports and Basel
because this is what you’re gonna hear
about for the next couple of months this
is just a reality of life what’s not
okay so he just comes to deal with that
and Mark had been interviewing the guy
from Carl F baccarat and I’ve helped
people pronounce ices Busia and all
kinds of weird things and always thought
it was boo Caracas when I mean across to
Geneva with the guys in January we ended
up in a place called hooker
I’ve given up I mean I started the
podcast calling it Omega because that’s
a we people in Scotland pronounced or we
go no it’s Omega and Omega and who knows
who knows what’s going on and another
mess pronunciation well not really a
mess pronunciation I think you is
somebody mess held me when I was over in
Basel yeah but I was over in Basel with
Kristen either bow yeah that nobody
calls it bowel nobody bow world our
world that’s a lot of shit because I
remember people telling me and Edie’s a
couple of years ago before I first win
it’s called bowel I’m thought as a as I
say ah yes well the football team is
whenever you hear about the football
team playing it’s always fair to his bow
the guys that run the show and Basel
call it Baselworld
right that’s just realities but I was
over there speaking to kress and I’d
mentioned as mention the last podcast
about going and seen the squally watches
and because Chris is from Pollak he
thought I said swarley
and it was only half past nine in the
world exactly
it just woken up the rest renunciations
nuts but squally after I there they go
again I mentioned squally in a previous
podcast and Sutton
everybody else is talking about
everybody’s talking about squirrel 2
Broke voice knobs they mentioned the new
releases you had mark from Long Island
watch that the video told him that you
releases he’s actually got some good
video of the things I was talking about
an equal exam and even James Marsden on
the latest hood thank you radio he was
talking me an instant squirrely as well
I’m just a trendy dancer I didn’t
actually get to that but a little
because I fell asleep I thought I wasn’t
too this with dinky with James that
might be quite interesting and I think I
drifted off yeah so I don’t know if that
was to do with being very tired or if it
was just a smidgeon doll it just took
quite a while for them to start talking
about what she’s I think I do I actually
think I got as far as them talking about
what and gives about 40 minutes and the
only reason I kept last thing was
because I like x-men I like all the
kanima released off and DC you know that
love Westworld that was the surprise TV
show hit for me and he started he
dropped a couple of hints and tips that
he news talking about and the ditalion
was IWC and all the rest of that so I
don’t listen to Phil thing and it was
pretty good but yeah Jesus Christ it
took forever it was Washington listening
to other people’s podcasts maybe they
don’t get at things quick we wait to
think of ourselves as intro talking
about watches very much
I don’t know that’s actually what we do
do know it’s usually two seconds of
ventral music music with you talking
show of the top wall but then me taking
a peso of your age in your weight a
little bit 10 minutes and a move on 10
watches then watches and that seems to
work but someone in Formula speaking of
who thank you radio they will put ink in
general they drop the good video with
John Muir
which is five years after the previous
one the man made who dinky yeah well
yeah it was it was their meal ticket
when they deposed and I Hammond the even
less than James Martin says it was
because of meeting John Muir and an
airport and talking about watches he put
James on to hoe dinky so that was a good
connection yeah that’s another good
video check out well link in the show
notes and I thought it could have been
an April Fool’s joke but I don’t think
it was watchin Allah is TGV
or Ben Gentry video he basically all
bets on you is the hotel key or shady
you really went for them didn’t have a
voice at eg video for a while but and to
be fair he completely suckered me into
it because the image on the video is him
holding the blue openness I thought
however you watch of this just well I
was actually just this morning we look
at this and he got to the bit and he did
the thing I hate which is if you’re
gonna talk about another podcast name
the podcast okay unless as actual legal
reasons
everybody knows who he’s speaking about
at least have the guts to see who dinky
I don’t not like anybody I’m kind of
frame the chat in general it comes with
being looking like Santa Claus but if
you’re gonna talk about he was talking
about the alpinist and it being once by
sequel in partnership with this other
organization that did something or do
something or a bit a little bit a little
bit we kind of thing and like just name
them to see with her dinky what is the
problem do we really think that we are
that big in terms of YouTube that is bad
to name other other are it makes me so
mad
it makes you just look like you forgot
what they were called it makes you look
like an idiot just name the people
forgiven to seek if you’re gonna see
something that at least have the guts to
name them if I’m gonna say something
about TGV and that don’t wait listed or
whether I’m gonna say TGV I didn’t like
what you had to see her that you know
I’m not gonna see anything actionable
okay you can see I didn’t what you had
to see not name them just makes it look
like you forgot their name it makes you
look stupid
sorry right over all the obvious about
to bring in nice funky music and feed
you again but you gotta just at that
point ago there I have to evacuate well
done big man saw yeah T TV who has just
come out of the dungeons of YouTube for
still in people’s photography and Ben I
mean take you know for hermit on ruined
and in through mod holding key with her
using the name but then obviously talked
about the hotel key open his watch and
saying you can see who I’m talking about
in one of my other videos I mean what
the hell was our fine I mean his video
was also really it was it was shit it
was probably the washed watch he he
fools joke at the start as well is just
not very fun in my disdain and dislike
for him can I goes the intros do you
mind idle watch them I just fast forward
I don’t understand maybe if it wasn’t
him forever I would understand the whole
dinosaur thing but I just don’t get it
so I just think no I just fast forward
whatever I watch them to that so yes I
thought that was a particularly
interesting video and I’m hoping that
there might be an art you’ll actually
come back at because there’s unlikely to
be or who’d think you come back at it
because really all of those are the
proverbial hooding issue when it comes
to these things and the routers it’s
because of all these jealous you know
the reason he’s not naming the
Mississippi’s enemy sorry I’m good I’m
not I need to take the time watch suitor
and said that room I do sorry I’m just
I’m so looking forward his next
copyright strike so you have to do with
videos for me bill you’re right
everybody does take poll shows so thank
you because they’re the biggest guys but
I’m gonna take her no I’m not gonna take
a poll show I’m gonna I’m gonna mention
an article they’ve got that that can it
made me feel a little bit better about
the way that you look and now was it
does elongate for people that were a
puzzle this year and you had taken a
pleasure to me because I had joked and
we haven’t Raynaud’s jeans tee shot I
left a little joke at no tail and Ewan
said you know were you the washed dress
personnel then I showed your full video
Adams that proved otherwise and they
have got another article that has got
photos of all these people at bars well
that I never saw
I must have messed the fancy dress
competition but there were some real
strange looking folks did you see that
for a few apatow saw it this morning a
particular late the guy who was in the
green track suit which was me well
actually was probably a really expensive
track suit and trainers with the Green
Richard Mille or Richard Miller watch at
the same time black male Richard Mayo
hey I thought that was a stunning get up
but I just wanted to see you on the Elio
Adams comment I watched a video of him
last night
reviewing best things of Bazell I think
it was with an enough chap and he was
wearing a sports jacket and I can’t tell
from YouTube whom waked it but I went
onto the YouTube video and Cobain didn’t
say the Elio Hema what happened to the
tracks what’s this he got all you could
all gentrified you got rope OH
the sports jacket somebody like that I’m
hoping it was him seeing the joke
yes there were some corkers yeah in that
who think your article they see me do
this every year they did one last year
and it was funnier last year because
they put all these photos up and in
somebody commented saying ray okay
father it was 10th full don’t go Weldon
the GMT it’s a fake the hand strikes
wrong that’s brilliant
yes so somebody in the art department of
would think you hadn’t been able to spot
the feet watch so delay judge got a
point sounds like nothing but good thing
to see if it her dinky no it is great
job the thing is they don’t why they
don’t pretend they do what they do the
growing as a business they are doing
more for this hobby for enthusiastic
yeah more than anybody else I can only
know about things see above them TGV
another hunt well you’ve just held what
I’ve said about him aerial items love
the gay bats I think his style is
brilliant he doesn’t hold bias he just
tells it like as and that’s came to the
way we’re seeing different divisions
with under watch Robbie you get the
pretenders that make videos have got
blogs have got YouTube thing blah blah
blah whatever that I’ll just doing and
are creating a persona for themselves
and who knows what it’s for is it to
make money is it to gain recognition and
then you get people are just open honest
to tell it like it as and I’m just there
for a good team and that’s pretty much
the camp that we said and that’s what we
want to take it forward I was thinking
about theirs briefly last night as I in
my musings as I was had a quiet movement
was a wonder at what stage will the
watch journalism podcasting youtubing
world get to what point what happened
that someone will jump ship so it
happened sort of in the past when TGV
had a few thought that want to learn
them and they all kind of sport up might
do something like like Federico and all
these kind of things but at what point
will somebody actually do what we refer
to in Scotland as a more Johnson and
movie
and move your what point will somebody
chuck the dummy a parameter who dinky
and then suddenly appear a blog to what
start batting for the other team batting
for the other team
so I wonder what stage in all of this
an evil watched evil geese and we do
that somebody will actually go like so
you know what that guy or girl at that
publication
I want name videoing for me hey you’ve
got who dinky a blog to watch that are
big business are proper businesses
fratellos not really in the seemly
because it’s really a you know a is a
Jewish from what I understand and you’ve
got the likes of monochrome and these
killing guys so I don’t think I create a
critical mass yet but one day someone
will decide to poach someone from some
other publication so who can be free
transfer you to is really if what I’m
asking oh you keep trying to swab me for
Cartland if you could work for any of
the rest of the people she go for who do
you think has the most fun a rating
revolution I don’t know if my body could
handle him and I cocaine I would have to
absorb to work for everything for
different reasons
oh thank you because that they access
they have to I’d love to sit down and
speak to Robert Downey jr. about his
career and his watches
John Muir has been great Mario Andretti
he was good giant Nicholas the golfer he
was good as well and in a bloke to watch
because the rough ready they don’t care
they don’t follow any predetermined
lanes given them by PR agencies and
companies revolution because it’s very
high-class high luxury there’s a lot of
cool stuff there I don’t know I’d like
to film stuff for Matt Farah I think is
that all the cool cows he gets to play
with yeah that’s a good point actually
yeah Matt would be a good tomato bigger
get to work for at some point I would
imagine it shows that I’m not against
it’ll not like to work for the urban
Gentry but pretty much anybody else I
wouldn’t like to wash up to luxuries
underwear after a trip to Bangkok I
wouldn’t like to do that you know but
everything else is fair game
okay well we’re not breaking up the band
quit yet so we’re all right for a few
more episodes well just to thank we’ve
got a good few new contributors coming
up we’ve also been
crushed offline by a few people that are
interested who they make things for the
watch industry whether we boxes or
artwork etc so you’ll see some of that
coming to the fore but there are some
good new contributors or you
pre-ordering a coffin for yourself yeah
a handmade coffin I think they’ll need a
particularly large bit of oak for that
one Oh yard in your toilet heels to buy
the core the big clock is ticking Thurs
it’s almost 11 15 8 on your life is
heaven 15 8 see I do wonder see now
April Fool’s joke there are a number of
hidden jokes in there so a prize for
spotting the numerology joke that exists
within our our coverage so if you go
back and have a look at the two articles
there are a number of hidden gems or was
it they call them Easter eggs that’s
right
hey it’s a profit time here it’s Easter
there are a number of hidden easter eggs
in our April Fool’s coverage so if you
manage to spot them you when absolutely
nothing because we have nothing to give
away but the Eagle just kudos if you
mind to support them and messages as to
what they are but I you were leading me
somewhere there what were you talking
about each we’re talking about
contributors that’s what we’re seeing
lots of good contributors like a dude
few new ones coming up as well we’ve had
some suggestions for some apps they’re
rockin articles one that will hit the
website by the time this goes out we’ll
be one about it so we’re a very short
gay – what to do when you’ve suddenly
decided that actually attending you
watch meet up a red bar or E a watch
gathering of some is something you
actually want to do what is the
etiquette of what you should wear so I
look out for that but I’ve got a couple
of great authors including a Canadian
who’s gonna come on and exploit it gonna
troll us all Canadians he’s gonna
trawlers and the POW whitest we possible
and then he’s gonna rate and lots of
nice articles for us he has already
saved me a couple of suggestions of
things that he wants to do and some of
them are absolutely extraordinary so I’m
really looking forward to some of the
Articles that this particular chat
is busy painting away from us and I’m
just trying to remember I think it’s him
I think it’s a Canadian chap whose wife
is a professional editor
so those bugger blimp of God so we’ve
got a problem
houston we have a problem so a game is
our enemy the game is up we are you know
how you have those dreams sometimes

the other anything we might make it
Jeff’s or 27 or 28 but after that games

podcasts or problems for you yep I will
just pass off into the dark universe
together
