It s a good question but one that we seek to answer. We thank our faithful listener Richard for today s topics. Metal enters the fray as well because some watches look better with a bit of dangle. Shoes are also in focus as this was also a request from our listener. We hope you enjoy the show!HandgelenkskontrolleAfter some television discussion, we kick off our show with the Handgelenkskontrolle and are wearing watch and strap pairings that will be mentioned during the main topic. Balazs is home in Hungary and has brought his Grand Seiko SBGA439 on a denim-blue Delugs strap. Mike is wearing his 14K gold Longines Park Avenue from 1951 on a Honey Wind leather strap by Nick Gabarro. We then turn our attention to our current grail sneakers. Balazs lists the Asics Gel Lite 3 Miami Beach Edition, Travis Scott Fragment Nike Air Jordan 1, and his signed Adidas Stan Smith shoes as his favorites. Mike is still pining for one of his high-school favorites to return. His all-time crush is the gray, white, black, and yellow Nike Air Trainer Max 91 worn by Bo Jackson. Finally, Mike has purchased a vintage Tissot pocket watch, which sparks a discussion about what to do with these lovely objects.Watch and strap combinationsNaming our favorite watch and strap combinations is tough.
