This week we talk to our buddy Nathan from Crown & Caliber. You may recognize him as the guy from most of their videos. Nathan loves watches, is super knowledgeable, and rocks a really classic Datejust. So, of course we had to talk Rolex. More specifically we took a look at our picks for Rolex stainless steel alternatives as well as which Submariners, Daytonas, and GMTs to purchase. Plus, they look at watches that you can buy that are oftentimes less expensive, but doesn't mean they are lacking.

Jeremy Roizin is a watch collector and previous partner at Watch Anish. He and the guys chat entry-level watches putting them head-to-head. They also wade into the world of GMTs, Perpetual Calendars, and make the bold claim that the Vacheron Constantin Overseas is maybe wrongly overshadowed by the Patek Nautilus and the AP Royal Oak.

Is Baselworld dead? That is the question as Rolex, Tudor, Patek Philippe, Chopard and Chanel make their exit. Plus, since the time of recording this, it looks as though LVMH has also decided to say goodbye. This week Cameron and Mike are joined by Mike Margolis, former U.S. President of Girard Perrigeaux and now heavily involved with H.Moser & Cie and Czapek & Cie watches. The guys breakdown the basics of Baselworld, what and who the show is for, and chat about what happened to prompt Rolex and Patek Philippe (and many others) to leave the show. Plus, they speculate about what is to come.

In this episode, Matt and Cameron take a deep (and very expensive) dive into the 264-year history of the world's oldest continuously operating watch maker, Vacheron Constantin. Beyond the longevity of the company itself, VC's watches are exquisitely made, frequently complex, and highly customizable from the factory.... for the right price. We have a particularly good point of reference for Vacheron, since Cameron actually used to work there. This episode is available as a video!

The Omega Speedmaster doesn't realy just describe one watch. The name Speedmaster describes an entire array of watches built over the last 62 years, and appreciated for their strong value-oriented approach to highly technical timekeeping, while, again, surviving the rigors of space flight time and time again. It takes a sharp eye to be able to spot differences from one model to the next, but Cameron and Matt do their best to cover all the crucial versions. This episode is available as a video!

When watchmaking is about more than simply telling time as accurately as possible, it becomes about pushing the boundaries of art and engineering. Inspired by the non-traditional watch faces of Urwerk, Keral Bachand took his engineering expertise to the next level: reverse engineering and building a working Urwerk 202 in his college dorm room. Inspired by his own (re) creation and the reaction from Urwerk themselves, Keral started his own watch company, Barrelhand Watches, using non-traditional time telling and cutting-edge production methods. At only 24, and with no official watchmaking training, he is about to launch his first watch, the Project 1. Learn more about Barrelhand at: http://www.barrelhand.com/This episode is available as video!

In this episode, our most requested topic ever, we invite Mark Almeras from the AverageBros YouTube channel in to talk about modifying Seiko watches. The Seiko is like the LS engine of watches: good bones, reliabile and durable, but not always pretty out of the box, and with some obvious cost cutting in terms of some of the parts, the straps, bezels, etc. Fortunately, Seiko's have a huge aftermarket, not to mention lots of special edition, higher end models from Japan, and a lot of the parts are interchangeable! Whether you choose to modify the watch at home yourself, or take it to a watchmaker, Mark, Cameron and Matt explore some of the different ways you can modify a Seiko to get not only a unique look, but also the feeling on your wrist of a watch that's much more expensive and high quality than what comes out of the box. Subscribe to Average Bros on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCim9rg9D4s2zLdtyeo1W6bgThis episode is available as a video!

In this episode, Matt and Cameron explore co-branding in the watchmaking world. With Co-Branding, a watchmaker will release a special eidition of a watch designed to align with the needs or style of a branding partner or retailer. The COMEX Sea-Dweller and Tiffany Dial Submariner are among the most famous, but we find some rather obscure co-brands, as well as discuss when functionality is integrated into the special edition, and what it takes to make special editions in small volume, from Weiss's own experience. Get the video here: https://youtu.be/Cfuyq93hYJQUse code CAM150 for $150 off your first watch at Crown & Caliber!http://www.crownandcaliber.comUse code CHRONO for 15% off your entire order from Bee Line Coffee!http://www.beelinecoffee.com

 In this episode, Cameron and Matt, joined again by Chef and Rolex expert Carl Ruiz, explore the history and watches of the most valuable and iconic brand in watchmaking history: Rolex. Rolex doesn't make the most technologically advanced watches, or the most complicated watches, and they haven't been around as long as many of the other manufacturers, but they are the most iconic watch brand on the planet, recognizeable the world over for their timeless designs, underwater capabilities, and overall quality. This episode is available as downloadable audio!

Breitling has always been a brand associated wth aviation; pioneering the Pilot's watch far beyond a simple "large dial with clear numbers format. " Anyone who's ever watched an air show, or a Red Bull Air Race event, will have seen Breitling's racing planes taking home wins. Since 1884, Breitling has been obsessed with moving forward the art of precision chronometry, function, and, more recently, safety, with their innovative "Emergency" series of locator beacon-equipped wrist watches. Breitling has shown some innovative technologies, interesting designs, and passion for extreme human activities, which makes their story very interesting. This episode is available as a video!

In this episode, joined by Nick Farrell of DC Vintage Watches, we discuss the complete corporate and manufacturing history of Tag Heuer, known simply as Heuer before 1985. From its conception, the brand has focused on innovation in precise time keeping, eschewing pushing the boundaries of complication in favor of the boundaries of precision; at one point producing mechanical stopwatches capable of measuring in 1/1000 second increments. We take a look at some of Heuer's most iconic models, and their relationship with motor and yacht racing, and examine a bunch of watches from their current offerings. This episode is available as a video!

In this episode, joined by Michael Senderovich of the On Time Podcast, we discuss our favorite independent watchmakers! We define an independent as not only a watchmaker outside the typical fold of corporate ownership, but a watchmaker-led business not held down by its own traditions. Independent watchmakers can freely design avant garde pieces in small volume and sell them for extraordinary amounts of money. We explore Roger W. Smith, H. Moser, RGM, MB&F, Vianney Halter, Habring, and more in this episode. This episode is available as a video!

 In this episode, tech mogul and entrepreneur Matt Jacobson stops by the studio to talk about the holy grail of vintage watches: perfect patina. Matt was the 8th employee at Facebook in 2005, and, Mark Zuckerberg excepted, is its longest serving employee. He has, unlike other men of means, put a cap on the number of watches he's willing to own at 12, instating a policy of "one in, one out." We discuss patina, how watches get it and why it's good; we then look at Matt's amazing examples of "Tropical Dial" watches; watches where the black or blue dials have faded to a tobacco or sunburst brown color. Prepare to examine some of the finest tropical dialed watches we have ever seen, anywhere in the world. We also talk about what California watch style is, Matt's taste in vintage Volkswagens and Porsche's, and big news from Cameron! Get this podcast as a video!

In order to honor the occasion, Matt and Cameron take their first individual-brand deep-dive into the history, the technology, the story, and the watches of IWC. Known at first for highly legible tool watches, IWC has developed a reputation for tough, stylish, and in some cases, highly complex watches; watches which wear stealth on the wrist but offer tons of satisfaction to the owner. This podcast is also available as a video!

In this episode, Matt and Cameron explore the world of bracelets, bands and straps! A new watch band is a great, and often affordable way to change the look of a watch, giving you that "new watch" feeling again. We explore the different types of bands and why you might use each one, how to do a basic strap change, how to care for leather and metal straps, and, potentially most importantly, how long a strap should last, and when to let it go. We also discuss the basic tools you'll need, and why you should always replace your spring bars when doing a strap change. This episode is also available as a video!

Chef Sang Yoon is a man of many accomplishments, biggest among them is that he can be credited with creating the first American gastropub, Father's Office, in Los Angeles, 20 years ago. The son of a Korean Newspaper publisher, Chef Sang has created a food empire in Los Angeles, and, like many of us woudl do, he has rewarded himself with quite the watch collection, numbering over 100 pieces, most of which live in a safety deposit box in a bank. Sang stops by the studio to discuss some of his more frequently worn pieces, We discuss  very thin movements, whether the Rolex Sea-Dweller is an appropriate substitute for the Submariner on bigger wrists, and , the different dial surfaces of the AP Royal Oak line, plus some of the Royal Oak's more absurd special editions. This episode is available as a video!
