Additionally, we discuss the evolving watch market, the impact of digital platforms, and social media's role in horological education are discussed.
Recommendations include following Instagram accounts Vector Animation (@vecthor_animation) and @17jewels.info for animation-driven watch mechanism insights, and Rory McEvoy (@PendulumGeek) for scholarly perspectives.

Today we discuss "restomodding" -- the art of creating working watches using both vintage and modern parts. So, for all the folks with grandpa's old watch sitting unused in a drawer, this episode is for you!
I'm joined by modder David from secondhandmods.com, and Brigham, a fellow modder from the BSH (iykyk).
This episode was born from discussions around my Vintage Linen Dial mod, which was an unexpected hit. You can see modded watch here.
Brigham also discusses his experience modding outside the world Seiko, which is quite rare! Thanks for educating us Brigham!
My baby causes me to step away twice, good thing we had two guests! Nothing is edited out -- we keep it real at Fifth Wrist!

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio.

On a very special day, 1st Sep 2023, in a very special place, La Chaux-de-Fonds, a Fifth Wrist party was being had. The Defining Time Show (Back from the dead for 1 episode) was recorded, sitting around a table amongst friends at the Maison ochs und junior. Hence why you can hear the rawness of the track and I do apologise for some of the background noises.
It was a fabulous evening full of great food, wine, beer, laughter and friends enjoying each others company after meeting in person for the first time. This was also the night the world came to learn about the now world famous Chick-Lip. We were blown away by Benoit's project and generosity.
A huge thank you to ochs und junior for hosting a lovely event that allowed us to all be together and see the beautiful Maison. We are truly grateful for your hospitality. Thank you also to Claus for bringing the podcast gear and editing the track.
Here is the list of colourful characters who attended the event.
Claus
Wolfgang
Benoit
Elio
Phil
Jake
Anthony
Bernd
Also joining us was Leonard and Alice. Check out his amazing Butterfly watch he built at watch school. Find him here @Leonard_widmer
Thank you so much to everyone involved with Fifth Wrist. It was clear to see what a wonderful global community that has been created. I don't know how to write show notes anymore to Alex will probably hate this but he can edit it if he wants.
Thanks everyone, and for everyone else, stay on time!

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio.
This is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology.
In this episode, we are very honoured to speak with Michael Culyba , director of the excellent film "Keeper of Time".
Adam (@mediumwatch) and Michael sit down for a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion about the major themes of the movie, the meaning of time itself and the many aspects of independent horological craft that Michael managed to capture so brilliantly in the film.
We at FifthWrist have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to speak with some of the watch industry folks who appear in the movie, so now would be a good time to listen through our back catalog and re-acquaint yourself with the previous episodes.
Definitely make sure you watch the "Keeper of Time" (www.keeperoftimemovie.com) today. Honestly, we cannot recommend it highly enough. Absolutely brilliant, heart-warming and important film about horology and time.

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by a fresh and new co-host to FWR Vaughan (@hands.faces.cases) to speak with Micro Brand Zentier founder and designer Morten (@zentierofficial). As this is the first time speaking directly with a micro brand owner it was important to dig down into the actual process and figure out how someone makes the decision to press forward and release their own watches into the heavily saturated watch market. We learnt some very interesting things about the brand but also about Morten, what his day job is and his personal collecting journey. We asked all the questions you'd like to know about micro brands and we would really like to thank Morten for his openness. Some special mentions to @scaramanga and Moser watches, both not mentioned by Anthony.
Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with us to a conversation with absolute watch nuts talking watches!

Yes, Loose Screws is back and so am I. It's been far too long but better late than never. First I'd like to apologize to my guest Audrey (@lady_dream_watches) as it took a very long time for me to edit this episode. Working from home, pandemic, family, etc just took a lot more of my time this 2021 than I expected. In this episode I'm joined by Scaramanga (@scaramanga__) as co-host and we had the privilege to chat with a true watch industry insider. Audrey's experience is unbelievable with stops at Christie's, Audemars Piguet, FP Journe, and Ferdinand Berthoud. She shares her thoughts about social media, attempt to talk about blockchain technology, and the women's movement in the watch world. We debated who has the best integrated bracelet and gave some other options. Scaramanga speaks his mind about Moser, I mean when doesn't he. Hope you enjoy the episode and cheers from Texas. - Bob
Watches talked about in this episode: Minase and The Citizen Calibre 0200
Audrey's watch recommendations:
Under $1,000 USD - West End Watch Co and Klokers
From $5,000 - $10,000 USD - Panerai Luminor Due
Over $10,000 USD - Do your homework. But if Audrey could get one it would be the FP Journe Only Watch.

Host Roman (@TimesRomanAU) ( chat with today's special guest - clockmaker and horologist H Peter Doble (@doblehpeter). We discuss Peter's journey into horology (comparatively late in life); and his interest in clock and chronometer making and precision timekeeping. We talk at length about Peter's apprenticeship with horologist and "friend of the show" David Walter (@davide.walter); sustainability and integrity of the craft; setting up and equipping his workshop; his first chronometer project and goals for the craft. If you are interested in independent watchmaking, American horology scene and just what it takes to learn and practice the craft as an independent maker - you will enjoy this conversation.

Let's talk about the good, the bad and the ugly stories that we can all share about collecting vintage watches!
Host: Benoît @Petitesecondes
Guests: Kevin O'Dell from @theydid and Charlie Dunne from @books_on_time
This episode was planned to be about Cartier and the Monaco Legend Auction that took place recently. But then everything went haywire, with the head of Fifthwrist forgetting to set his alarm clock, internet disconnections and a surprise guest? All these unexpected events still make for a nice chat to listen to, and not just about vintage Cartier watches. I hope you like it and have fun listening to our ranting!

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by co-hostesses with the mostestes Vinnie (@tellyourtime) and the Podfather AKA the actual watch regulator AKA Self confessed CATMAN himself, Alex (@thewatchregulator) for a good old fashion Fifth Wrist watch battle. Rules were, 5 watches each, no budget, snake style draft and once the model/line is chosen its gone. Safe to say Anthony cops it in this one for some of his extremely unpredictable pics, Vinnie had some solid pics including a very colourful one and Alex stayed in the "entry level" categories as he doesn't know how to dream, always so responsible. Speaking of "entry level", we have a brief discussion about the term and give some strong opinions. It gets heated and we unknowingly got all hot and sweaty. Most of the brands you would have heard about but this is a new one for us to all check out @schnelle.co - go give them a follow.
This podcast is also the last for a while for Anthony, he is off to become a dad and finished some study hopefully in time for the baby's arrival. But don't worry, he will be back soon defining time as usual, albeit with bags under his eyes from a lack of sleep.
Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with us to a conversation with absolute watch nuts talking watches!

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for FifthWrist Radio. This is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology. Hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Alex “aka The Podfather” (@thewatchregulator) chat with Nick and Josh Hacko (@nicholashackowatch) - a fiercely independent watchmaking father and son team behind the Australian Indie Watchmaking Company “Nicholas Hacko Watches”. Join us for a truely passionate and honest conversation about independent watchmaking; the challenges of carving your own path in the horological industry; and the exciting journey Hacko Watches are undertaking manufacturing and machining watches in Australia. We also talk about the importance of integrity and suffering for your craft; passion and drive which underpins everything Nick and Josh are doing to create a truly unique ecosystem to support and further independent watchmaking. We also talk about their new watch NH3, manufactured in Sydney Australia about to be released; and why George Daniels can be blamed for unrealistic expectations customers have of independent watchmakers. Also - we introduce the concept of “artisanally distressed” dials (make sure to listen out for that). Strap yourself in (watch pun VERY MUCH intended!) It’s a great conversation. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by Adam (@mediumwatch) as we journey to Taiwan to catch up with Joe (@biaoist). Joe is the founder of Redbar Taiwan (@redbartaiwan), a banker by day, and a collector of "OG" watches.
Joe begins the podcast double-wristing some "Oaks", with a "Baby Oak" (AP Royal Oak 56175) to match Adam and a JellyOak (G-Shock GA2100SKE) to match Anthony. We then learn the origins of Joe's top hat logo, his thoughts on how leadership has changed in the past year, and how leading from home has changed his watch choices. Diving into Joe's watch box, we hear the stories behind his Royal Oaks, learn more about his passion for Grand Seiko, and discover the reasons behind his decision to aim to collect the original version of many watches. We then discuss other approaches to collecting that he has learned about through chatting with collectors at Redbar Taiwan and on his podcast (see Biaoist.com). We then briefly dive into the Mandarin watch media, watch collecting in Taiwan, and how he decided to found Redbar Taiwan. We conclude with a discussion of how our listeners can learn more about watch content from the Mandarin-speaking world.
Be sure to follow @biaoist on IG to see the evolution of this fine collection of "OG" watches.

What's Good! It's Episode 27 of Popcorn on FifthWrist Radio. This week Charith (@charithsir) and SIdd (@sidd.pad) are joined by Worn & Wound Associate Editor Zach Kazan (@zkazan)! The guys get chatting with Zach who is a genuine watch and film buff about his passions, how he got into them and how he turned being an enthusiast to a profession working at Worn & Wound. Oh hey, they also throw in a Johnny English Watch Spot. Then we have a Draft! 1999 is widely regarded as one of the truly great years in movie history so they go deep into it! The greatest movies of 1999, by genre! It's an absolute banger, throw in a trademark Sidd pick, an unfortunate Kevin Spacey mention and a whipped cream bikini. This one truly gets nerdy! Zach also does his Deserted Island, one that actually has some thought behind it!

We also talk about the importance of integrity; customer service; passion and drive which underpins everything Nicholas is doing at Fears (a company directly linked to 6 (six!) generations of his own family).

A couple of European guys from the global fifthwrist-family meet to talk watches - this time not necessarily peaceful ...
While all share the passion for watches, each of them has a sweet spot for a subsection of the world of watches:
Phil (@pippy) loves Seiko,
Benoît (@petitsecondes) runs his own fifthwrist-radio show about vintage watches,
Wolfgang (@w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e) represents the Vienna citizen with – of course – Rolex on his wrist, while
Claus (@tapir_ffm) is an dyed-in-the-wool ochs und junior fan-boy …
Each of the gang will defend his thesis … and the others will – as eloquent as merciless – give him a hard time!
Let the carnage begin …

The time is gone, the show is over, thought I'd something more to say…
Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for FifthWrist Radio. This is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology. Conversation between Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and our guest - the journalist, podcaster, motorcycling fanatic and poultry fancier, Allen Farmelo (@beyond.the.dial); host of the brilliant Beyond The Dial podcast. Join us for a passionate and honest conversation about authenticity; pitfalls of marketing; the watch media landscape; our approaches to communicating about horology; NAZI watches; Ducati motorcycles; Cartier Tanks; Andy Warhol; Walt Odets; and our mutual fascination with all things horological. We also discuss Allen’s first watch release with Alsta Watches - the ALSTA X BTD MOTOSCAPHE 120. Allen deconstructs the concept, inspiration and design of this watch, and just why you should totally get one (obviously, a fully unbiassed opinion here!) I have been a huge fan of Allen’s work at @beyond.the.dial, and I am sure once you hear this episode - you will be a convert too. Honestly, this episode was a huge blast! A bit of a language warning on this one - Enjoy! Special shout out in this one to our mutual friend Gary Shteyngart (@shteyngart) and a couple of special chickens (Snow @petitesecondes) and the late lamented Claude! Check out Allen’s website beyondthedial.com, Instagram @beyond.the.dial and the Beyond The Dial podcast. The Beyond The Dial Watch is available from ALSTA X BTD MOTOSCAPHE 120 website.

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by co-hostess with the mostest Vinnie (@tellyourtime) to have some straight up, no BS, community watch talk with our Danish friend Lars (@sralhb). These are the best kind of chats where we get to know fellow community members and watch enthusiasts so we all know we are not alone and all have the same addiction. Lars is a 5 times (with more in the bank) Fifth Wrist owners watch reviewer and orchard (or orchid) and art connoisseur. Lars tells us about his first watch given to him as a gift with a cool Australian connection and tells us about his experience with "Build your own watch" with friend of the show Christian Lass. He is a keen Glashütte Original and JLC and has a fine and articulate collection. A key member of RedBar Copenhagen and tells us about a gtg that involved a film crew and many hours. Lars is a great story teller and we'd like to thank him for giving his time to come and speak with us.
Be sure to follow @sralhb on IG to keep up with all things Go, JLC, flowers and art as well as his fine watch collection.
Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with us to a conversation with absolute watch nuts talking watches!

What's Good! It's Episode 26 of Popcorn on FifthWrist Radio. This week Charith (@charithsir) and SIdd (@sidd.pad) are joined by local legend Teesaan (@teesaankoo)!
The guys get DEEEEEEEEEEP, and I mean deep! Chatting about a winners mindset in sport, Teesaan's background in rowing, cancel culture and when it is right, wrong or too much, the difference between a "car guy" and a "car enthusiast".
The listener question gets handled quite well - greatest athlete turned actor? Charith also discussed a Will Ferrell movie featuring a Timex Ironman that is quite fun.
Then we have a Draft! Greatest movie cars ever, after several minutes of confusion we get under way!!! Some debate, some insults and maybe even a pick that Shooter McGavin would be proud of!
Teesaan also does his Deserted Island, no cancels!

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by our favourite and only German co host Claus (@tapir_ffm) as we get a lesson on German watches with all-round legend and German watch expert Mike (@mikestuffler). Mike has a massive passion for German watches and really just watches in general. Like many, Rolex will always weasel its way in somehow, but we take a look at some of Mike's favourites and hear a story about how his whole collection was stolen. Truly very sad but Mike is a trooper and just got on with rebuilding. Mike was a moderator for the watch forum WatchUSeek for many years as well as a host of other forums so we really mean expert and it was interested to hear about how forums do their best to keep the scammers away. We discuss the history of Flieger watches and how they were and still are such an important watch as well as chatting about a weird connection between Japan's fascination with USA well build military clothing and what the modern day Flieger stands for. Claus and Anthony certainly learnt a thing or two about German watches as we're sure you will too. We'd like to thank Mike for coming to speak with us for his first ever podcast and we can't wait to have him back to do a German watch battle!!!!!
Be sure to follow @mikestuffler on IG to keep up with all things German watches and his fine collection.
Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with us to a conversation with absolute watch nuts talking watches!

What's Good! It's Episode 25 of Popcorn on FifthWrist Radio. This week Charith (@charithsir) is joined by FifthWrist legends Michael (@woodswatchmaking) and Benoit (@petitesecondes). The guys talk through some hard hitting news across a multitude of topics. They start by answering a listener question better than ever before - When does a watch worn by a film character look completely wrong? MGM gets bought by Amazon, Vacheron Constantin release a heritage for the ages and Michael's back problems seem to be alleviated. This is all just an appetizer for a main course of a Draft! Epic Epic Epic! The guys debate their favourite Sci-Fi Films with passion and some personal anecdotes that only comes after a generation of preparation. This one is epic, stipulations are added and rules are set. All three come with their biggest guns and no one survives.

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for FifthWrist Radio. This is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology. Hosts: Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and Adam (@mediumwatch) Guests: Rick and Andrew (@solabs.co) In this episode, we chat with two cool dudes about the funky casual watch brand they started (So-Labs).So-Labs watches are quartz, colourful, fun and have a unique way to display time (all the things you CAN’T say about your average Rolex). Join us for a conversation about bringing a new watch brand to market, good design, Josef Albers, colour theory, Chicago watch scene and the importance of connecting with your customers, and not being afraid to create watches with a unique perspective. We also talk modern design classics, and just where to look in your own house to find the best foam insert for watch packaging - the answer will surprise you. Adam and Rick delve deeply into why plastic is such an important modern material, discuss nostalgia for the 1980s and 90’s; express disgust at Yeezy sneakers; and explore Rick’s favourite plastic objects, clocks and toys. If you like watches and a bit of fun - you will like this episode.

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by co host with the mostest Vinnie from @tellyourtime as we welcome to the show Horomariobro. For those who enjoy macro photography and watches I am 100% certain you would have come across his instagram profile. He is arguably one of the best in the community and really brings to life the good and the questionable finishing from around the industry. We learn about his journey into watches from a young age to some of the finishing surprises he shows on IG. Horomariobro also talks about how it is much easier to hide watches from his wife than it is to hide cars. What we love about Horomariobro is how he really shows off some of the more attainable and extremely highly finished watches like Habring and Pascal Coyon. Wait until you hear his take on the now infamous PP 5711. We'd like to thank Horomariobro for coming onto the show and giving his time but also for the amazing work he puts into his IG profile for the community to enjoy.
Be sure to follow Horomariobro on IG to keep up with his unbelievable macro photography and collection.

What's Good! It's Episode 24 of Popcorn on FifthWrist Radio. This week Charith (@charithsir) and Sidd (@sidd.pad) are joined by good mate and Fifth Wrist local legen Ben McCann (@benm1991). The guys talk through some hard hitting news across a multitude of topics. Charith has a rant about the Oscars and gets emotional about something that probably doesn't mean all that much. Sidd discusses the latest releases by Kurono Tokyo and Tissot. They also debate if the Cloche by Cartier makes sense and Hublot's latest SORAI offering worn by Kevin Pietersen is sensible. Charith get's emotional again as he still waits on his cap - calling KP! Throw in a little sports news and Jimmy Butler becoming TAG's newest person that doesn't crack under pressure. They then get into a draft. SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! Ok, we got that out of the way. It's a draft of the all time movie twists. A couple of controversial picks in there.

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by fellow Fifth Wrist host Roman (@timesromanau) as we take a trip down memory lane and welcome back fellow watch enthusiast and IG watch community royalty Pedro (@detroitwatchguy)! We start off by discussion some recent changes in the collection since the last time we spoke to Pedro, some watches in, some watches out and we learn about the watch Pedro has set his sights on. We then get into the topic of discussion, watches and brands that use the Unitas 6497/6498. It's an old movement that finds its way from small independents to some of the big houses. We take a look at the history of the movement and who did it best in our eyes. We always learn so much when we go deeper into a specific topic so hopefully you'll learn something as well. It was a lot of fun talking to Pedro and we thank him for his time, thoughts and all the positive energy he brings to the global watch community.
Be sure to follow Pedro @detroitwatchguy on IG to keep up with his fine taste in watches and colourful shirts.
Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with us to a conversation with absolute watch nuts talking watches!

We talk watches as well (who would have thought!?) - green dial-gate, why Grand Seiko fonts can get on people's nerves, Glashutte's sporty incomings. Michael asks if a certain CEO of a certain "holy trinity" brand with the intials that might be A and P is a certified maniac. Then they do the Greatest Films starring the greatest of the greatest DENZEL WASHINGTON (Charith get's annoyed with other people's picks) followed by Sidd's Popcorn Deserted Island! Yes, we are here for this!!!

Enter The Vintage Hen-House, pick a perch, and listen to Benoît (@Petitesecondes) and his co-hosts chat to vintage watch collectors from all over the world about their collection, the vintage watch world, and many other things. Let's talk about the good, the bad and the ugly stories that we can all share about collecting vintage watches! Host: Benoît @Petitesecondes Guest: Guillaume @the_patina_boy In this episode, Guillaume from @the_patina_boy talks about his watch collecting habits, focusing on patina and damage of vintage watches. He even came up with a simple classification of the different sorts of patina that you can find when searching for vintage watches. Guillaume is a huge dive watch fanatic and shares a bit of knowledge on the iconic Aquastar range of skin divers as well as the Aquaplunge. You will hear a lot of great reasons to buy a watch with signs of wear over a new old stock example!

A couple of european guys from the global fifth wrist-family meet to talk watches-with a focus on bespoke and/or custom and/or made to measure and/or just slightly modified watches. Is there a difference?
Phil(@pippy), Benoît(@petitsecondes), Wolfgang(@w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e), Claus(@tapir_ffm) and their guest from Sicily, Elio, @the349designer, think there is! If you think your PorscheDesignWatch is bespoke, because you can choose the rotor (at the cost of a watch from other brands) and the colour of the strap stitching... listen what level Elio has brought to bespoke watch design...

Welcome to The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by fellow Fifth Wrist podcast host Roman(@timesromanau) and watch industry titan and pioneer William Massena of Massena Lab. We start the conversation with getting some updates on a few upcoming collaborations William has in store and we ask a few questions about the challenges of collaborations and what were the turning points in his career so far. Its safe to say there is some seriously exciting launches in the coming months and we can't wait. Then we go to BATTLE! The task was set for each person to come prepared to talk out the 5 "Greatest Watches of all Time" (in our opinion) and battle it out. While there was certainly some no brainer choices it was also great to see some unique independent watches make the lists. It was a lot of fun and a privilege to hear William's picks. I don't want to give it all away so you will just have to listen. Anthony and Roman would like to personally thank William for coming onto the show and sharing his 5 Greatest Watches of all Time. Be sure to follow William @therealmassena and @massenalab on IG and sign up for their newsletter to stay up to date and not miss out on any of the launches coming this year. Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with us to a conversation with absolute watch nuts talking watches! Full disclosure, we did experience some internet speed issues from William's hotel room but it was all too good to cut out so stick with it, it's worth it Recommendations from this episode: William: @burymewithmywatches Roman: @papillonwatchman Anthony: @koopology Music by @salil808 Follow us on Instagram: @FifthWrist Thank you for all the positive reviews & comments on our episodes.

Welcome to another episode of The Defining Time Show on Fifth Wrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by some absolute legends of the community and friends of the show Danny (@dannygoldsmith23), Asher (@horologicallyinclined), Dustin (@normal.sinus.rhythm) and Brett (@tick_tock3940) for a game of "Who has the best three watch collection if we all had 30k USD to spend and you needed 1 Indy, 1 Mainstream and 1 Micro brand"!!!
We start the conversation with some thoughts and opinions from Watches & Wonders now that a few weeks have past and the dust has settled. I knew we would get some strong statements from these lads and they did not disappoint. While the discussion about new releases could have gone on for hours, we soon got into what we all came to do. 3 watches each, 30k USD budget, 1 Indy, 1 Mainstream and 1 Micro. Snake style fantasy draft was the format but each person could choose their category as they went. It's safe to say that in the end, it probably wouldn't matter which collection you agree with. They were all very well thought out and made for a great battle with the real winners were the watches!
Special mentions to our horological friends Habring2 (and Anthony didn't bring them up for once), Moser, Konstantin Chaykin & Ochs Und Junior just to mention a few. There is an extra few honourable mentions at the end which could have also made the collections.
During the discussion we also learnt about Danny's new venture, Goldsmith and Complications. We wish Danny all success with the new business and if you haven't listened to his episode on Fifth Wrist Radio from a few weeks ago, please go back and listen!
Anthony like to personally thank the four gents for coming onto the show, researching and putting the time into their collections. These battles are not easy and everyone did a great job.
Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with us to a conversation with absolute watch nuts talking watches!

Welcome to the Loose Screws podcast on Fifth Wrist radio. I'm your host Bob(@brownsvillewatchguy) and on this episode my guest is my lovely wife Renee. It all started one night after a long day and some Vodka Tamarind that we decided to go downstairs and record an impromptu episode. Renee shares her start in watches, speaks her mind on Tag, Cartier, brand ambassadors, and Formula 1. It was definitely an interesting episode and hearing an “outsiders” perspective regarding this crazy watch hobby really shed a light on what “normal” folks think. All comments made are my guests and my own and does not reflect the thoughts/views of all Fifth Wrist contributors or the community. We hope you enjoy this episode just as much as we did.

What's Good! Episode 22 of Popcorn on FifthWrist Radio. This week Charith (@charithsir) and Michael (@woodswatchmaking) are joined by someone who really is so hot right now - the founder of Dimepiece.co, Brynn Wallner. The guys hear Brynn's journey to being a watch enthusiast and the creation of Dimepiece and what it means to women who are buying their first watch. They discuss everything from who is the ultimate "Dimepiece", some releases of the time (Blancpain/Omega), if Don Cheadle really knows who he is having coffee with, the Oscar nominations and of course the collab between Publix and Citizen that might just challenge the status quo (here's looking at you AP). Then they do the Greatest Films directed by Women Draft followed by Brynn's Popcorn Deserted Island!

Welcome to another episode of The Defining Time Show on FifthWrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is joined by the one and only "Chicken Man" himself Benoit (@petitesecondes). It's always nice to share the mic with a great contributor to our hobby. Now for the watch stuff, Armand is someone I have been following on IG for a few years now, always eager to see what he will come out with next. Armand is the man behind the Independent brand making real waves, Sartory Billard (@sartorybillard). We go deep into his journey to starting the brand with a friend after spending many years as a designer. Benoit, being a patriotic Frenchman, wanted to discuss the current state of the French watch industry and asked the difficult questions about what Armand's opinion of what it's missing and his ideas to move it forward and more connected. Sartory Billard is a brand that offers bespoke options to their customers, so we learnt about Armand's definition of bespoke and what it means for his customers. What we loved about our chat was the openness, honesty and transparency Armand gave us, and it was no surprise to me that he asks his customers for brutally honest feedback on how his creations can be improved. We were privileged to see the SB5 during the video call prior to its launch which was a great honour for us and you can hear our reactions and then head over to @sartorybillard to see it for yourself, it is truly something very special and we commend Armand for his latest piece.
Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with us to a conversation with a brilliant and forward-thinking Independent Watchmaker.

Five enthusiasts from four countries, three(and a half) languages, two currencies and one passion.
A couple of eager european guys from the global and glorious fifthwrist-family meet to talk watches.
The subject from which they deviate all the time is:
can non-european watches be any good?
If you listen to what Phil, Benoît, Wolfgang, Claus and their guest from Cologne, Jan
(@pippy, @petitsecondes, @w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e, @tapir_ffm and @between_the_lugs)
have to say, you will – amongst others – learn:
that you can successfully run a great and vivid podcast about vintage watches without knowing much about them
why the parallax error is important
which new useless complication will be ruling the watch market anytime soon
the difference between Brian and Boris Johnson
and …
serious watch stuff, too
(And they eventually manage to earn an «explicit»-labelling for that podcast.)

Welcome to our take on the top 5 new Rolex releases of 2021. We discuss every detail you can imagine on the newly released line up of new watches from Rolex. Join two Rolex watch enthusiasts Anthony and Vinnie (both own Rolex Explorers) and half a watchmaker Alex (not for Rolex) as we go watch by watch, Rolex by Rolex to discuss what we like and what we don't like from the recent Rolex drop. Make sure to listen to our accompanying podcast to join our conversation.
Rolex Explorer Upgrade The biggest shock from the new Rolex releases for 2021 is certainly the Rolex Explorer. It was the Rolex release that got us all talking and it was the first one we wanted to discuss on the podcast. While some find the Rolex Explorer the most traditional of the steel sports family that might all be changing with the Explorer being released in 2 tone? The reference 124273 heralds the return to traditional sizing coming in at 36mm but also with a hefty price tag of $11650 USD. A bit of a shock since a bicolour Rolex Explorer is something that nobody has ever asked for at any point in history. Lucky for the more conservative Rolex lovers the 36mm Explorer also makes a return in stainless steel,
Rolex Explorer 2 With No Ceramic We were all expecting to finally see a ceramic Rolex Explorer 2 released in 2021 but it just wasn't to be this time. We do still get a new Rolex Explorer though with the reference 226570 in both Polar and Black dial. Updating them from the 3187 movement to the latest 3285 Rolex manufacture movement giving it a boost from 48 hours of power reserve to a far healthier 70 hours. Otherwise the size appears to remain the same at 42mm.
Daytona... Three new Daytonas that we can never afford or be able to buy at retail price. In three different colours of gold and with the now incrediblyh pedestrian meteorite dial on all of them. There must be meteorites just dropping from the sky all over the place.
Datejust Welcome to the Datejust jungle with this olive green palm dial following on from the colourful oyster perpetual hits of 2020. The reference 126200 will be sure to be another popular choice for those looking for something a little bit different from the Rolex 2021 releases. This is another release to use the 3235 movement that will offer the user 70 hours of power reserve.
Discontinued Models... Well the 39mm Explorer is gone so look out for their prices sky rocketing any minute now.

Welcome to another episode of The Defining Time Show on FifthWrist Radio. This week Anthony (@defining_time) is flying solo and so excited to talk one on one with a legend of the AD world, Mr Danny Goldsmith (@dannygoldsmith23) of Cellini Jewelers in New York City. While always a fan of watches it's only been in the last three years that he has been making dreams come true for watch enthusiasts the world over. Danny is different, he has a real and actual passion for helping people with their watch purchases. He lives and breathes the stuff like I've known no other AD Salesperson to do. Many of our "friends of the show" (actual people we've had on FWR) are no stranger to Danny, friends would be an understatement and I think it's relationships like this that make this hobby just that little bit more special. I ask Danny a series of questions that I've always wanted to ask him. Having personally not had great dealings with AD's, it was paramount for me to get to the bottom of how he differentiates himself from the rest and we discuss what other AD's need to do to lift the customer experience. Danny talk's about some of his own experiences with other AD's as well as sharing some great stories about his personal interactions with our favourite characters from the Indy world. I really enjoyed this conversation, Danny is a true gentleman and a great sport. I'd like to personally thank him for his time and openness. At the end of the conversation I say that "the world needs more Danny Goldsmith's", I'm sure you'll agree after listening. Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with me to a conversation with a gentleman.

Welcome to another episode of The Defining Time Show on FifthWrist Radio. This week we Anthony (@defining_time) and Vinnie (@tellyourtime) are joined by mono brand collector, all-round great guy and absolute gentleman, Rune aka @vacheronconstantin_enthusiast. It's a great listen and learn conversation into the mind of a passionate and mono brand enthusiast. We talk about how Rune ended up loving and collecting only VC, how his collecting philosophy shapes his current collection and we hear a story or two about his interactions with the brand. He also talks about how cool it can be to finally meet someone from IG that you have never met face to face in the most exciting and interesting way and what he would do if he was the CEO of VC for a day (or 10 years). Rune takes his IG recommendations seriously and it was hard to pull him back to only one so we found a few loop holes so he could mention his friends. Grab a whiskey if that's your thing, put on a tuxedo, sit in your most comfortable chair and journey with us into a conversation with a gentleman. Hope you enjoy this episode!

Welcome to another episode of The Defining Time Show on FifthWrist Radio. This week we Anthony (@defining_time) and The Podfather and visionary genius himself (@thewatchregulator), chat to one of Fifth Wrist's OG fans who openly talks about how he listens to our podcasts in the bath, with a candle and a stiff drink. Teesaan is an integral part of the Melbourne watch community and a massive watch lover. His collection is anything from vintage Heuer to the latest and greatest from Bell and Ross, as well as a watch shared with a group of mates. We go deep into his watch collection from its routes to the price limits he puts on watches and items in general. Teesaan is a great storyteller, he goes into how important family is from travelling to New York with his eldest daughter, cherishing the drives he goes on with his son in his vintage 911 and his favourite rowing memories. This episode was recorded on Christmas Eve 2020, what a shitty year that was. Anthony did say that it would be Christmas in July 2021 when this episode would air but thankfully it has come out sooner. Hope you enjoy this episode!

Welcome to the horology world's ultimate watchmaking podcast network. On this episode of the Rob & The Regulator Show, Alex is joined by fellow Fifth Wrist Radio podcast hosts Roman and Michael to talk about new watch releases from brands like Seiko, Omega and Maurice Lacroix. We even throw in a small independent watchmaker just for Roman
Topics The podcast starts with our standard drink and wrist checks. We don't waste too much time before we get into the latest watches released. Michael gives his own unique grumpy insight into each piece using his experience as a watchmaker for one of the world's largest watch brands. Roman shares his opinion as someone who strongly favours small independent watchmakers and tends to shy away from the larger watch brands.
We talk about value in watchmaking, why locking chronograph pushers are a good thing and why limited edition watches are never actually limited. Will this be the ultimate Seiko podcast?

We also get to know what the perfect vintage Seiko watches are for “not so usual” watch collecting profiles. Get ready to take a very deep dive: have a pen and some paper ready to take some notes, and open an internet connection (if you can) to see the watches we talk about in this episode.

NSFW!!! NSFW!!! NSFW!!! Okay we warned you. Fifth Wrist Presents Popcorn…The Podcast! Your fix of pop culture and watches! This week, Charith (@charithsir), Sidd (@sidd.pad) and the man with the largest sneaker rotation Paul (@photomonk3y) are talking some real trash. This episode has strong language, strong takes...look its just strong. Is Sidd a real Liverpool supporter? Is Wonder Woman a terrible person? Is it reasonable to buy a pair of shoes to only wear it once every 20 months? Did the PacMan take steroids? Is there workplace bullying in the Casio factory? Is killing people illegal if you are a landlord and your tenants have not paid their rent? Who is Phil Collins? They ask ALL of the hard hitting questions! They talk about Paul's experience in the world of fashion photography, what watches are worn on fashion week and the hilarious going on's in the G Shock factory in Japan. There's a rundown from some of the malarkey within the Golden Globe nominations and the epic performance in the Super Bowl. The boys then celebrate the Year of the Ox by drafting the Greatest Asian Sportspeople of all time! If you didn't know Montblanc brand ambassador Lin Dan before this, you'll be singing his praises afterwards. GOAT...that's all. Drinking game recommendations: - Every time anyone says: "We should edit that" or "I'll edit that" - Every time Paul swears - Every time Sidd says: "I haven't seen that", "Oh my god" or "I'm not touching that" - Every time Charith says: "I don't know where to go with that" or "Where are you going with this?"

On this episode of the Rob & The Regulator Show, Rob and Alex are joined by Bradley from Bradley Taylor Watchmaking. Bradley tells us a bit about his history with watches and how he got into tinkering with them from a young age. Then how a Seiko Monster ignited the passion fully, to the point where he decided to find out how to become a watchmaker.
We then get into his time spent studying with friend of the show Henrik Korpela at KHWCC Watchmaking School in Le Locle Switzerland. Once he finished there he returned to Canada and worked for a company servicing high level watches including Hublot and Patek.
Bradley tells us about starting a brand with his friend from watchmaking school and how it didn't work out as they hoped due to the Covid 19 pandemic. This did not diminish his desire to build another watch though. He breaks down the process of creating a watch in your own vision and the challenges that come about from wanting to have everything made to the highest standards.

The task was set to come up with ideas of "if I had a magic wand" what would I like to see in the watch industry? There are some controversial conversations and statements that are individual experiences and may not sit well with everyone. We talk about staff training in AD's to our ideas of how Rolex should run their business. It was a lot of fun to live in fairy land for a day. See what you think, do you agree/disagree with some or all of our wishes? We did have some issues with Bob's audio so please forgive us and bare with it. Sit back, relax, grab a drink and enjoy the show.

In what will go on to become the first of a new series, Alex @thewatchregulator interviews Rob @geneva_blue_ about how he started out in rural Australia and went on to become a watchmaker at Audemars Piguet in Switzerland. It's essential listening for anyone thinking about training to become a watchmaker. We start out with Rob's background and his early fascination with watches and how they worked. We discuss the jobs that he did before watchmaking that all left him wanting to do something he was actually passionate about. Then on to his travel to Switzerland where he would meet his future life and the chance noticing of a sign for a even course in watchmaking that would change his life forever. Rob's training with Audemars Piguet and how he made it work as the only Australian in the training. The skills he learned and the old ways of doing things that are still taught today. We talk about his movement from training at Audemars Piguest to working in their after sales service and then him leaving to go and work for Richard Mille. We also get into Rob's passion for both vintage watches and independent watchmaking, plus the friends he has made over the years. Then his return to life in Australia. It's a fascinating story and one of our most popular episodes.

On this episode of The Defining Time Show, Anthony and Alex are joined by Vinnie from Tell Your Time. Vinnie tells us a little bit about himself, how he got into the hobby and what it is like to be part of the Melbourne Watch Community. He also talks about working in a fashion watch shop and the different types of people that buy those types watches. Plus how that market for watches is influenced by the big boys in the Swiss Watch industry.
Vinnie also takes some time to tell us about a recent solo adventure that he went on and how it helped him bond more with his Rolex Explorer.
We get into bran heritage and what it means to the watch world. Does brand heritage bring anything to the art of watchmaking or is it just a way for the brands to save money and milk their past achievements, even if it is now a totally different brand. We talk about nostalgia and how it can be such a powerful thing when it comes to influencing people into making a big ticket purchase.

On this episode of The Defining Time Show, Anthony from @defining_time is joined again by Alex @thewatchregulator. Alex is a watch technician for the Swatch Group. So he is well placed to be able to discuss the Flyback Chronograph by Moser. We get into the polarizing and unique design of the streamliner and what out initial thoughts about it were. Then we begin to break down how the watch is made both in terms of components and who is making and designing the unique movement.
We talk about our favourite reviews from the website and get into a question created by one of the review titles. What kind of watch would James Bond 007 really wear. We all know that Omega is currently the watch on the wrist of Her Majestys number one spy but in the real world what watch do we think a real spy would wear. Would it be something expensive or something cheap and under the radar. Find out what our picks are and why.

This week on the Defining Time Show, Anthony (@defining_time) chats with watch community member and all round legend Dustin of @normal.sinus.rhythm. It is truly amazing when two people that have never met before, just click and have a wonderful conversation about things they love. They talk about non-negotiable aspects a watch needs to make it in the collection and why Rolex still has a strong hold in collections when the collector has moved on to Independents. Dustin learns what the Chrono24 notepad is and shares a beautiful story of how him and his father commemorated his mother's life. A natural discussion about watches and this conversation goes to show how important these objects can be and the connection a collector has with them.
Sit back, relax, grab a drink and enjoy the show.

Eric has been around the watch scene for a while now and I always remember him getting involved in the good old Watchbox live chats.

I wont give it away but the case and bracelet were made by Cartier and the movement by JLC. Any guesses? Have a listen and find out what the watch is and why it is so special.

On this episode of The Defining Time Show, Anthony and Alex are joined by Michael Woods from Woods Watchmaking. We discuss indepth about his journey and education in the watch industry. We talk to Michael about his family history of watchmaking and the early age where he started to work on these incredible machines. His early dreams in life and how this went on to him training at WOSTEP. Michael shares interesting and fun stories from during his WOSTEP training. The friends he made and the projects he worked on.
He didn't got straight to Rolex though. He almost got a job at Patek Philippe. We hear about his bench test job interview wth Patek and the mistakes made.
Michael then goes on to tell us about how he became a watchmaker at Rolex. The kind of work he did and the kind of company Rolex is to work for. He talks about working on incredibly rare $1M Rolex dials and his progression to becoming the workshop manager. Everything that's happened has got him to where he is now as an independent watchmaker who specializes in vintage Rolex. There's also a brief chat about Michael's latest independent watchmaking project. Grab a whiskey (we did), sit back and enjoy the show.

This is a real and deep story. A story of DREAMS, PASSION & FRIENDSHIP. Anthony (@defining_time) and Vinnie (@tellyourtime) welcome Elio from @the349designer to the Defining Time Show. Elio tells the story about how he fulfilled one of his dreams and designed and had built his very own piece unique and one of one time piece. Elio is from Italy and is a first class gentleman, he did a fantastic job and it was a true honour to hear him speak and go inside the mind of a true artist and designer. This is not a fast paced episode, this is one to be enjoyed quietly and with a whiskey. At times, Vinnie and myself were left speechless and in awe of what we were hearing. So, slow down, sit back and come on this journey to hear about a man and his watch (that he actually designed himself).

This was recorded on the day the new calibre was released but there was chat about the embargoed new watch so we wanted to wait until the watch was released with the new calibre to publish the episode. You will hear some talk about things to be cut out but we left them there. We talk about the new in-house Calibre 400 from Oris and the first watch to wear the badge of honour proud. There's laughs, knives, watches, pens and an out of this world Rolex dad joke. We'd like to thank Peter for bringing his true self to the table as we knew he would, for making us laugh and showing other brands how you should go about being a rock star!

This week, Anthony (@defining_time) and Vinnie (@tellyourtime) welcome Don Rogan to the Defining Time Show. Don has probably the most rugged and rustic watch profile on Instagram. He has big and tough watches in his collection and we learn a bit about why he chose them and his collecting philosophy. We then go to BATTLE. Inspired by Don's profile and photography, we wanted to battle for the "TOUGHEST WATCHES ON THE PLANET". The task for each person was to pick their toughest watch in the three price categories. Less than 1k, 5k and 10k AUD. Without giving too much away, Don smashed us. This was definitely a win for the Northern Hemisphere this time. Well done Don and thank you for coming on the show. We had a blast and certainly didn't mind losing to a fine and humble gentleman.

Anthony (@defining_time) and Rob (@Geneva_Blue) team up for the first time to interview Swiss Watch Industry pioneer CEO of H Moser & Cie Edouard Meylan.

We then chat a bit about trust and the Pioneer Tour and what has been the result of removing "Swiss Made" from their dials. We hope this is a different interview to you are used.

Welcome back to the Defining Time Show, Anthony here for a very exciting conversation. Today we meet Mike Linner who is the Store Manager at Hublot Frankfurt and I ask the hard questions. Charming man that had a few things he wanted to say. We discussed the typical Hublot customer and learn that its not the stereotype we think and what makes Hublot so special to collectors. We learn a bit more about the history of the brand and the direction they are going. Sounds like there is some very exciting things to look forward to from Hublot. Following on from my previous Hublot podcast, I was excited to speak to Mike and ask some of the questions I wanted answers to. In particular, working for a brand that is largely hated by the watch community, for reasons I do not know. Catch Mike on IG @Mr_Hublotgerie and he is happy to talk and answer any questions. Sit back, grab a whiskey, put your judgement and prejudice to the side and enjoy the show.

Anthony and Vinnie together again on the Defining Time Show to chat with friend of the show, daily contributor to our SLACK group, fifth wrist watch reviewer and all round legend, Benoit (@petitesecondes). This is a good one, we discuss some of the historical significance of ETA and how the big brands can thank ETA for enabling some of the greatest watches and brands of all time. Some of us admit to the time in our collecting years of being an IN-HOUSE snob and how that mindset has changed over the later years. THEN WE GO TO BATTLE. The challenge was set, each of us to pick three watches, one in each category, less than 1k, 5k and 10k. It was so much fun and while none of us picked the same watches, there were some very interesting similarities in the 10k category.

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for FifthWrist Radio. Join hosts Roman (@TimesRomanAU) and co-host Adam (@mediumwatch) as we chat with today’s special guest – horological bibliophile and gentleman scholar Charlie (@books_on_time). Join us for an honest conversation about horological books, online watch media, erotic watches, and the importance of journalistic integrity in the world of paid luxury content. Quick warning: we will probably offend a few people in the “watch media industry” with this episode – but we tend to call BS on the problems we see. On the bright side – there are a few jokes thrown in, so you will definitely have a giggle!

How has instagram potentially changed the way people buy watches and do they buy them for themselves or for "The Gram" and the chokehold some brands have on their fans? Pedro makes some fantastic points and gives ideas about making a spreadsheet to plan your next purchase. We can't thank him enough for taking the time to speak to us and the community.

This week, guest watchmaker Christian Lass @christian_lass joins Roman and Michael to talk about his incredible watchmaking journey. Christian is an independent watchmaker based in Denmark, currently making bespoke and commission watches for collectors. Christian has previously worked for star watchmaker Vianney Halter and had spent the last 9 years as the head watchmaker of the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva. We talk about how to get into watchmaking; language skills you need to work in the industry; how to restore watches or ride motorbikes in Kazakhstan; and just what it takes to get a job looking after the Patek Philippe Museum Collection at age 29! You will also hear Christian’s hand-made minute repeater chime the time; and how his wife can carve a portrait of Hans Christian Andersen on a sliver of gold 1mm in size. So, grab an apricot Danish, crack open a bottle of Carlsberg, and send the kids to their room to play with LEGO, because you don’t want to miss this episode!

Welcome to the horology world's ultimate watchmaking podcast network. On this episode of the Defining Time Show, Roman makes a reappearance to join me in a conversation with none other than watchmaker Josh Shapiro of JN Shapiro Watches. If you are not familiar with Josh's work you need to check it out. Beautiful engine turned dials that are up there with the best in the world.
Topics
A true craftsman who has perfected his craft and expanding his skills. Josh talks with us about his road to perfecting his craft and Roman has recently purchased a JN Shapiro watch so I thought it would be good to get him on with Josh to talk about the fun bits and challenges when commissioning a piece and how the process works. Josh's passion for what he does shines through as I thought it would. We also chat about the state of the industry from an independent's point of view and it's safe to say he has an opinion and it's worth listening to. Loads of fun and thank you to Josh for being a great sport and taking the time to talk.

This week we meet a Melbourne Watch Enthusiast and all round gentleman Tom of Watch_Adventure. Getting into watches is always a big part of the journey and for Tom it started young. From surfing with a 70's Rolex Sub 1680 to the refinement of a Grand Seiko dress watch. We then go to battle. Vintage Watch Challenge, 3 watches each, 1 under 1k, 1 under 10k and 1 with no budget restraints. It's interesting to see what we pick, 2 guys with no idea and 1 guy with half an idea and its safe to say Tom took the cake in the end with a banging minute repeater. Grab a VB, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

In part two Roman's passions and opinions are back! We discuss some of his favourite watches and independent watchmakers in his collection and we get Roman's take on watches/watchmakers to keep and eye on as well as some of the watches Roman regrets selling. Is "in-house worth it? That was the discussion. Once again, this was a cracker, thank you Roman for joining Fifth Wrist Radio and for giving us many different points of view and definitely things to think about. Sit back, relax, grab a whiskey, smoke a cigar, have a bath, put your feet up and enjoy the show! Roman recommends reading Ryan Schmidt's "The Wristwatch Hand Book".

Anthony is joined by Ian Schon from Schon Horology and Schon DSGN to talk about his journey to becoming a watchmaker and pen manufacturer. We talk about the trials and tribulations of creating his business and go deep into the design elements of The Dot Cardinal and Prismatic. It's a cool conversation for people who appreciate art, design and manufacturing. Ian's products will stand the test of time and will be passed on for generations to come with a story that comes with each item. It was great to hear his story and we can't thank Ian enough for taking the time. Check out the YouTube clip for his watches.

JP is back to join the gents in an interesting "what if" conversation. The challenge was set, you get a fantasy budget of $50K AUD to buy 1 watch and 1 watch only. You had to forfiet you current collection and this would be your watch for the rest of your days. It was certainly not an easy task and we encourage others to do the same challenge and tag #fifthwristradio on IG to join the conversation. There were many close seconds and each contestant picked watches that suited them to a tee. JP wants everyone to check out the Parmigiani Fleurier Toric HEMISPHERES RETROGRADE. Sit back, relax and enjoy the suspense. We would normally put the said watches in the show notes but this time, we are leaving them out.

Anthony is joined by his new co-host Vinnie from Tell Your Time. Vinnie has made guest appearances on the show before and most memorable for the 36mm vs 39mm Rolex Explorer conversation. Also joining today is JP of jp_melbs on IG. We take a trip down memory lane with some of JP's earliest pieces. Talk about how tastes and collecting mindset evolve over time. Then we go into battle. TO SELL, OR NOT TO SELL? That was the question. We go deep into the mind of one guy who sold his Rolex BLNR and one who kept his. It was an epic conversation and very topical for the times right now. I can't thank JP enough for taking to time to speak with us and bring all his passion to the table.

This week the challenge was set for the gents to come up with a 10k AUD total 3 watch collection. 1 Dress, 1 Diver/sport and 1 Chronograph. Its always interesting when people battle with these collection challenges, often depending on which collection you're looking at, there is a higher priced watch in the collection and then 2 lower priced watches. Or 3 watches around the same value. How would you build a 3 watch collection for less than AUD 10K. Also great to learn you can buy a mechanical swatch made from Platinum. Didn't know that existed!!!

There is an inside baseball battle of the Omega Railmaster thrown in there for good measure.

Benoit (@petitesecondes), Vinnie (@tellyourtime) and Anthony (@defining_time) were set the challenge of picking 5 watches for a total budget of $12k AUD and then 1 or 2 watches for $12k AUD. There were some curve balls in there and it was interesting to see the gents picks. All the picks were different and spoke to each of their collecting philosophies.

This episode, Defining Time and The Watch Regulator shift the conversation to the Holy Trinity. Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Audemars Piguet. If they could only have 1 from each house, money no object, basically hopes and dreams, what would they choose? It's a lot of fun to dream, especially when you can choose anything you want.

On this episode of The Defining Time Show, Anthony from @defining_time is joined by Alex @thewatchregulator. Alex and Anthony discuss their favourite reviews from the site and the watches are pretty far apart in terms of price and function. We also get into a conversation relating to one of the review writers and his views on beater watches and what that actually means. Can a Patek Philippe really be a beater or is that title reserved only for things like Casio G Shocks and cheap Seiko dive watches.
We talk about the new limited edition from TAG Heuer. How relevant we feel that it is and what impact we think it will have in the enthusiast community. We get into sizing again and how important that is for the wearability and feel of a watch, especially when it comes to vintage reissues.

Take a dive into our picks from the 1990's. These are some of the under appreciated and nearly vintage watches that deserve a bit more attention. Some are starting to shoot up in value and they are definitely off the beaten track and into the world of different and quirky. Alex cheated and didn't follow the rules which is not surprising.

This week we have a chat with the legend that is Dimi AKA The Chunky Wrist. A look into his thought process on how he buys watches. Dimi has a keen eye for photography and is able to share his passion with his daughters which we found to be an inspiring way to bond with them. Then Alex and Dimi go head to head with this weeks battle: Vintage Rolex vs Vintage Omega. Which one is better?

Today we talk about the hot topic of alternatives to the Rolex Submariner. With the hyped prices and lack of inventory in AD's, it's timely to see what else we can think of. We talk about our top picks and where we would look and think you should look if considering the mighty Sub. It's everything from JLC to Ulysse Nardin and Blancpain to Alex delivering a winner takes all with a vintage Omega.

Vinnie from Tell Your Time is back to go head to head with Anthony about "why" or "why not" the 36mm/39mm Rolex Explorer is better. Some interesting points from each side and Alex delivering the winner in a final blow with a twist. We discuss Rolex and if there is still any bargains to be had or good value Rolex's out there. Each watch nerd was given the task of searching the wild web to find a Rolex that was still good value to buy. It was a lot of fun but truth be told, there are..........well you'll have to listen to find out.

On this episode of the Rob & The Regulator Show, we have another look in Rob's watchmaker drawers and then talk about how important it is for everyone to follow their dreams, especially when you work in a passionate industry.
Topics Rob takes the time to explore his watchmaking bench and the treasures that are hidden within. Any watchmaker will be able to tell you that they never throw anything away. For that reason watchmaker's bench are full of junk and treasure. We work drawer by drawer to see what parts, tools, movements and even watches are stored safely in Rob's bench.
Rob and Alex also discuss why it is so important for people to follow their dreams and how both hosts have done just that at various stages of their lives.

Welcome to the pilot episode of Fifth Wrist Radio. On this episode of The Defining Time Show, Anthony from @defining_time is joined by Alex @thewatchregulator Alex is the President of fifthwrist.com and a watch technician for the Swatch Group. So he is well placed to be able to discuss the attention grabbing new Ed White 321 reissue chronograph by Omega. We get into the history and legacy of the Speedmaster. Then we begin to break down the costs associated with the new watch and why Alex gives some insight as to why he believes that it might not be worth the money. For a comprehensive guide to the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch consider investing in a copy of the excellent guide Moonwatch Only. We all talk about the recent heritage release from Longines. This includes how vintage reissues make us feel and why brands are limited in the watches they can produce due to the movements than can use. The history of Lognines is a long and interesting one. Where they stand now in the watch world does not reflect their once exalted position within the world of horology. A great insight into the historically important watches of Longines can be found in the amazing book by vintage watch aficionado John Goldberger called Longines Legendary Watches. Anthony & Alex both discuss how our tastes have changed over the years and get into what watches started this passion for us and the watches we have collected over the years. Plus Alex puts out a call to action for enthusiasts to start working in the watch industry. He gets into why it is so important for watch brands to employ people who are passionate about the product. We go on to share our favourite recent review from the fifth wrist website and we give our instagram recommendations of people to go and follow.
