Sorry–Rolex Not Found, Overripe Strawber...

Watching Watches Watch
About this episode

This week on the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, Ariel is recovering from his LVMH outing, so Rick and David are joined by Alex, a watchmaker and co-founder of the Fifth Wrist website and co-host of its companion podcast. The trio gets right into it with a group tirade on the insurmountable task of finding a specific watch on modern brand sites, much less getting any info on that watch. Then it's on to some new releases, including yet another MoonSwatch, a new racing Tudor, and a rack of Omegas. Then it's on to a round of Hit, Miss, Maybe with some of the other recent reviews and releases. And then Ariel joins!
