Ep 9 - A Close Shave

The boys are joined by guest, Danny, who has an incredible watch collection, a very interesting daily beater, and an even more interesting route into the hobby! 

Sam and Jake are back and over the 10 episode hill!This week, they touch on a listener's gold watch woes, Patek Phillipe's first new model family release in 25 years, and trying to scrounge a discount from your AD.Check out the shownotes on Instagram @newtimerspodPlease leave us a review! Any questions can be sent to [email protected] 

Sam sold a car...Sam bought a watch... and then another watch... and then another watch...The boys talk about what Sam acquired this week and more! 

The boys discuss a few new watch releases (well, not quite that new anymore as we skipped a week - sorry!) and discuss a couple of "close shaves" they had with potential new purchases...Email: [email protected] Instagram: @newtimerspod 

We've had a very busy week, so the next episode will be out shortly! Thanks so much for listening as ever.Questions can be sent to [email protected] or message us on Instagram @newtimerspod 

Jake visits two Rolex authorised dealers to try and buy a Rolex, and the boys chat about his very different experiences. 

For the first ever time, the boys are joined by a guest!Who better to start with than the guy that brought them together, their good friend Thomas, who just so happens to have very little interest in watches or horology whatsoever.What could go wrong? 

The guys discuss the merits of "collecting" (keeping every watch you buy until they fill an entire room in your house) vs "flipping" (selling watches on at huge losses to fund other watches like a financially incompetent drug addict).Which one are you? Email [email protected] 

Sam discovers his inner Oprah Winfrey and goes on a generous giving-spree of Tissot PRXs, Jake is wearing another Casio (please sponsor us), and the boys chat about watches as gifts, from giving them to receiving them, and whether it's reasonable to ask for a Patek Phillipe for your birthday.

The boys talk about smart watches.Are they simply the natural endgame of the hallowed wristwatch, or cynical tech masquerading as a timepiece?If you want a real answer, you're in the wrong place, but there's some good waffle as always!
