December 24, 2012

We re back with a new episode of Fratello On Air, and this time, we ask what would make each other buy a new . While there s no question that the brand makes amazing watches, we tend to be vintage lovers around here. Considering that, what would make us pull the trigger on a new model?

Neither of your co-hosts has a new at the top of our shopping lists. So, what would sway us? We talk about the models we do enjoy and a couple of desired changes to the lineup. Then, we shift gears and discuss the Longines Spirit Zulu Time and whether it truly stacks up against the Tudor Black Bay GMT. We hope you enjoy the show!Handgelenks KontrolleWe kick off our episode on what would cause us to buy a new with our normal banter. We start with shoes, and there s a lot of excitement around the upcoming releases in 2024. We mention a few pairs that we ll be watching closely as the year rolls forward. When it comes to the Handgelenks Kontrolle, Balazs kicks it off with his 1675 GMT-Master. He s sporting this after wearing his friend s vintage 5513 in Hungary. Mike is donning a vintage 35mm Tissot pointer date from the late 40s. We discuss the history of these watches and our thoughts.Image: The Watch ClubBuying a new Both Balazs and I love our vintage watches. We admire current watches and do like certain models, including the GMT-Master II in Pepsi form, the Daytona, and even the 36mm Datejust. However, we miss the days of the more rugged and simple watches. As a result, we express our thoughts on what changes to the lineup would make us desire a new model.After this, we move on to a discussion about the Longines Spirit Zulu Time and Longines in general. The brand has truly made some strides over the last several years. It is now often in the same discussions as Tudor, and we discuss whether this makes sense or not.We hope you enjoy this latest episode, and thank you for listening! As always, if you have ideas for future shows, let us know.
