Episode 18: The Charm of Vintage Watches

Episode 21: Heirlooms & Hype | Newest Acquisitions

After a six-month hiatus, Mo and Gene are finally back in the booth to discuss life’s major milestones and a serious influx of new timepieces. From career shifts to personal losses, the duo dives into the stories behind their latest acquisitions, ranging from sentimental heirlooms to high-octane "hype" watches. This episode covers: * The Return: Why the guys took a half-year break and how their lives have changed since their last recording. * Sentimental Seconds: Gene shares the touching story behind his new Oris Big Pointer Bullseye, a tribute to his late father. * The Blue Period: Mo breaks down his quest for the rare Royal Oak 14790 with the Yves Klein dial and why he finally paid the premium for that specific shade of blue. * Deep Dives: A look at Gene’s new Blancpain Hodinkee Fifty Fathoms and Mo’s celebratory Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167A. * Boomerang Watches: Mo discusses the "disease" of re-acquiring watches he previously sold, specifically his Lange Saxonia Thin with the Aventurine dial. * Swiss Sojourns: Mo recounts his recent trip to Geneva, including visits to the Patek Philippe Museum and the distinct hospitality of the Swiss watch salons.
