Balazs and I take some time to discuss some of the latest pieces to ensure they get coverage before the Watches and Wonders onslaught begins! Settle in and enjoy!Handgelenks KontrolleBefore getting to all the new watches, Balazs kicks things off with a decidedly old watch. In fact, this is a pretty lousy piece because it s a so-called office GMT. Yes, he s sporting a watch that no one wants, a vintage 1675! Mike kicks off the new release topic with a vintage Excelsior Park Tuxedo Dial chronograph. This sets our main topic in focus because Excelsior Park just announced that this watch will be its next release. Exciting!New watchesWe kick things off with the newly announced Seiko Prospex GMT Divers, and despite the fact that they re not pilot s/flyer GMTs, we really like them. That golden GMT hand is the bee s knees! Next, we mention the Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer because it faced off against the Seiko in a recent Sunday Morning Showdown. It has a fancier movement, but we re a bit concerned about everyday legibility. Next, we broach the latest MoonSwatch and declare it to be a neat but quickly passing event. Last but not least, we roll out the Fratello Nivada Grenchen Racing Chronograph and talk about the different variants.Thanks so much for listening!
