Fratello On Air returns with an episode featuring a hypothetical question. This is a recurring series and this time we ask what would make us buy a new Seiko. We'll cover more than just sports watches and settle on a few key asks to one of our favorite brands. Enjoy the show!What would make us buy a new Seiko? It's a good question and one that has many different answers. You'll be able to predict some of them while others may surprise you! We hope you enjoy the show and please feel free to comment if you have other suggestions for the Japanese powerhouse! Handgelenks KontrolleBefore getting into our new Seiko topic, we kick the show off with some very light banter. This time, it's a fairly short preamble. Mike has just returned from Dublin, Ireland, and discusses a nice visit at a vintage watch shop. As far as the Handgelenks Kontrolle, Balazs is sporting his vintage Angelus 210 with a white dial and stick lugs. This generates some discussion about the watch, its variants, and its history. Mike is wearing a new acquisition. It's a '30s rectangular Cyma Watersport with a clamshell case. Yes, non-round watches are back in business!What would make us buy a new Seiko?Let's be clear, both of us like current Seiko models. There's a huge catalog and plenty to enjoy for all. Still, we're picky and are always pushing for more from our favorite watch brands. Plus, it's probably been four years since either of us has purchased a new Seiko. So, what is it that would have us grabbing our collective wallets? We discuss the need for a true killer diver at the high end that isn't a reissue. Then, we join the bandwagon and continue to mourn the passing of the once-mighty SKX. King Seiko has been a nice surprise, but we're looking for more variety there and better movements. As for chronographs, we feel that Seiko is missing a huge opportunity to recreate a unique 6139-like movement to help bring down the thickness and separate itself from the crowd. Of course, we have plenty of other suggestions from case finishing to strap quality.We hope you enjoyed today's episode and thanks for listening! As always, feel free to let us know if you have any ideas for a future show topic.

Welcome back Big Black Clockers! On this week's episode, we chat with the founders of LORIER, Lauren and Lorenzo Ortega.Founded in 2017 after an unfortunate mishap that left Lorenzo without a proper watch to wear at a wedding, the couple decided to dedicate their summers off as school teachers to designing a watch that could do it all. They've clearly succeeded. Kevin chats with the husband-and-wife team about their vintage inspiration, Goldfinger, watch sizes, and upcoming releases from Lorier.Chapters:(00:00) Intro(01:05) News & Watch Releases (Timex Q Three Time Zone Chronograph, 38mm Seiko 5 SKX)(11:06) Interview with Lauren and Lorenzo from LORIERFollow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/bigblackclockwatch/LORIER:https://www.lorierwatches.com/Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/bigblackclockwatch/
In this episode Dan (@timely_moments) sits down with AJ (@ajbarse) and Dev (@averagewatchguy_) to chat all things "Land of the Rising Sun", the conversation ranges from Seiko, Citizen, watch forums and Japanese watch culture in general. Highlights of the episode are, JASDF Speedtimers, AJ's experience of the Seiko and Citizen museums and Dev using his SKX in the air and not under the sea. References for the episode are below.

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter), Victor (@vmarks), and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). We tackle a few big topics this week. The first is the very strong rumor of an SKX-style GMT coming from Seiko, uh, any minute now. Victor has the lowdown on the main site if you want to read the specs, but it appears we're looking at a $500-ish GMT that very closely resembles the SKX/5KX family of divers. Are your pals interested? Maybe... maybe not. Nicholas then notes he recently broke the four-digit mark for the very first time, having purchased the Seiko SPB239 (technically the JDM version from Gnomon Watches which is the SBDC141.) He received the watch in the mail literally the day after recording so stay tuned for the full review. (Spoiler: It's gooood... mostly.) Lastly, the main event: we discuss the "culture" surrounding getting a discount while buying watches. Nicholas spotted an article on Fratello the other day talking about whether or not getting a discount at ADs is over, and it sparked a discussion on the whole deal. There's a bit more but that's the gist. Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for producing this week's episode.

Hello and welcome to the latest episode of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are Victor and Nicholas. Stay a while, and listen. We open this week with some Apple Watch news. According to a recent report in the WSJ, it may soon gain a whole bunch of health-related capabilities including the ability to measure blood pressure. While we may not necessarily need these capabilities today, they do go some way toward fulfilling Tim Cook's 2019 suggestion that Apple's biggest contribution to mankind will be related to health. We then take a quick right into strap discussion, including rumors suggesting the upcoming Apple Watch Series 7 will not work with Series 6 (and older) straps and how new straps can help rekindle your interest in old watches. YouTuber Teddy Baldassarre, who we like a lot actually, recently made this suggestion and we wholeheartedly agree! Next up, some of the watches that were announced at the recent Geneva Watch Days trade show... Nicholas doesn't get 'em. They're *very* fancy and impressive in their own right, but are they really the same thing as like an SKX or Seamaster or Oris? IDK! We're talking pieces like this Urwerk, this Girard-Perregaux, and this Greubel Forsey. We close out the week with our two cents on brand management, or lack thereof, focusing on Citizen, Seiko, and Bulova. That about does it. Thank you again to Andrew Haworth for producing.

Back from vacation, I'm ready to join The Impervious on a spirited discussion about tech's sell off. With SPY closing at 338, we talk about market expectations going into the fourth quarter - energy, industrials, precious metals and more. On the bull side, we cover the arguments for and against $DKNG (new deal with ESPN, including link outs on articles to DraftKings) and $PENN ($80 price target from Rosenblatt). On the bear side, we share thoughts on the Hindenburg report against $NKLA. Finally, updates on our bets - $BRK.B v. $QQQ, $MGM v. $CRWD and $CROX v. $SKX.
Battle of the lame footwear! The Impervious and I turn to shoe sellers as the cloud sells off and the market trades sideways in a week where my eventful is Sean's boring price action. We analyze Buffett's move into $GOLD and the road ahead for $SPY, including whether the future for e-commerce stocks looks different than essential cloud names. We make another exciting wager - this time a pair of Sketchers versus a pair of Crocs - based on our fundamental analysis of $SKX and $CROX.

Hi Listeners,We wanted to discuss the new Seiko 5 Sport. It somehow became more of a comparison between the SKX and the Seiko 5. As always, the episode took a life of its own. It could have easily become a two hour episode but, too spare you from the torture of our rambling, we compressed it to 15min.Hope you Enjoy.

They give some shout outs to a listener and his wife having their very first baby, in the hospital RR was born in no less, and they have a fun story about a very unique watch that recently made it into space.

The keyless works (https://www.watch-wiki.net/index.php?title=Keyless_works&action=edit&redlink=1) have been relocated from the top plate to the bottom plate, making it easier to service these components from the back plate rather than removing the entire works.” Chris ModsWho to check out* DLW https://www.dlwwatches.com/ * Ebay seller - watchtimeco http://stores.ebay.com/watchtimeco* Bay Engraving (Bellingham) http://www.bayengraving.com/*Toxic Natos! https://www.toxicnatos.com/ AJ ModsWho to check out* Crystaltimes Horology https://crystaltimes.net/ * One Second Closer https://one-second-closer.com/ (ebay- http://stores.ebay.com/One-Second-Closer)Interested in mods- see AJ's full write up!http://bit.ly/seikomodsquad Carson Loup: practical loop to help see what you are modding 4.5x is a good starter : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012H11CQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1Connect*AJ*: patreon.com/ajbarse (http://patreon.com/ajbarse) or follow on Instagram (http://instagram.com/ajbarse) @ajbarse AND an all new www.ajbarse.com (http://www.ajbarse.com/)*Chris*: mnmltek.micro.blog (https://mnmltek.micro.blog/) or chrispowell.co (http://www.chrispowell.co/)*Twitter Hashtags*: #bhampodcast and #quietconversationListenIf you're in the Bellingham area, be sure to listen to our show on KMRE 102.3 FM (http://www.kmre.org/bellingham-podcast-media-tech/) Thursdays @ 9:00 am and Saturdays @ 1:30 pm.TalkGot a question about technology or anything else about life in Bellingham?

Today on The Wire we're joined by Daniel ‘Tomo' Thomson, who you already know as the designing mind behind The Sci-Fi, The Omni, The SKX and many more surfboards, like The EVO, which after several years is still one of the most popular boards at surf shops around the world. This conversation was recorded during the Hurley Trestles Pro in September and it covers many things. Like the low point in Daniel's life that inspired him to set the path that has led to his current position as one of the world's most well known and respected surfboard designers. He discusses the difference between working with Kelly Slater and Stu Kennedy. He also shares the backwards approach to designing surfboards for big waves and why it works so well, and much more. Enjoy.

Just how strong is the athletic footwear market? Nike’s (NKE) Jordan Brand business did $2.2 billion in sales this year and is expected to double it by 2020. And Michael Jordan hasn’t even played basketball professionally in a decade. Out of Nike’s $13.7 billion North American sales in fiscal 2015, $8.5 billion was in footwear. And it doesn’t see an end to the growth, even in the “mature” North American market. Women’s footwear and apparel is also a big growth market. Under Armour (UA), which is known more for its apparel, is also trying to take some of the athletic footwear market. Last quarter, footwear sales jumped 61% year over year. Not to be underestimated, Skechers USA, Inc. (SKX) is the second largest athletic footwear company in the United States and Foot Locker (FL) is selling all of the brands and cashing in. Tracey and David discuss the fundamentals of the industry, including Under Armour’s decision to lure Steph Curry for its basketball line up. The stocks have soared over the past few years and many are at new highs. Is it too late to get into the athletic footwear stocks now? Out of the group, which one should you be buying? Listen to find out.
