Fratello On Air returns once again! Balazs and Mike are together after a three-week break due to heavy travel. It's a light-hearted show full of observations and head scratching. We talk about the Omega X-33 Marstimer, the Apple Watch, and even about luggage.Yes, it's been a while, but the boys are back in town again. Balazs has been all over Europe while Mike has been in three time zones within the USA. We focus on the craziness that seems to surround collecting anything today and then dip into some discussion around the Omega X-33 Marstimer. It's two friends getting back together after a while...enjoy it!Handgelenks KontrolleWe kick things off with the Handgelnks Kontrolle and Balazs is sporting a brand new piece. He is sporting a Benrus Sky Chief with a freshly serviced Valjoux 72. Mike is wearing his Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 "Great White" and talks about how small it is versus the current Deep Sea Sea-Dweller. The discussion meanders to the classic pilot's chronographs and the Glycine Airman.The Omega X-33 Marstimer and RimowaBefore getting into the Omega X-33 Marstimer, we talk about how Rimowa has seemingly gone the way of Rolex. Apparently, the well-known luggage sells out on a daily basis these days and draws queues in front of the boutiques. The horror! We move on to the Omega and while we really like the looks of the watch, we both wish that it had more functionality such as solar or some sort of connectivity. It's a pricey piece and we feel like more could have been done with the opportunity. We finish our discussion by talking about the Apple Watch and how it has become so commonplace today that it just might be worth a try. Scary stuff indeed!As always, thank you for listening, and thanks for waiting for us to return! We'll be back next week with another episode!

This week we dive into the cool world of GMT and dual time watches. The Glycine Airman finally makes its way into the TBWS family and we get geeky about planes and watches. Also, stay tuned for the conclusion of our Nodus Trieste giveaway and sit tight as the snobs finalize their Hong Kong travel plans. This was one heck of an episode and we'd love to hear more from the audience if any of you have something to contribute to the GMT watch discussion.

Kaz gets a major dental bill scare and the guys contemplate the possibility of a post-wisdom tooth removal episode. Kaz is still #watchfasting hard with his Casio too….have mercy on his soul. The guys also reflect on their site being out for over a week now. Tink...we believe in fairies!!! Shoutout to @thejames80 for his #watchfast with the Seiko 6309. They then tackle the conundrum of watches priced at over $1,000 and reach out to listeners and readers to ask if it’s an area you’d like to see covered. Do they have a place on the site? Feedback from listeners and readers is crucial to building a site, podcast, and community that YOU enjoy. Finally, the guys share some of their favorite picks for affordable GMT and dual time watches.
