Episode Transcript

(00:08):
Welcome to this watch LIFE. Hi, I'm Lydia Winters.
And I'm Blue Bowie and we have been gone for a little while.
Hello. Hi.
Hi everyone. Hi, we've missed you.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Missing goes both ways. Wait, that's me assuming.
That they missed us. Wow.
Foods like you're welcome. For being.
Here today, OK, that's. Some messages.

(00:30):
And they're mostly sweet. Yes.
And some are like, hey. Hey, do it.
Yeah. And that, that's basically my
mom and sister. They're like, hey.
No, no, hey, guy, Actually, I'vegotten a lot of messages of
people like, hey, it's time. Yeah, the thing people don't
know about me, but they could learn right now is that the more

(00:53):
pressure I'm under, the less likely true true.
Because then I get so stressed and worried and Oh no.
And but anyway, we're here. Right now she's spending out
folks. Bye, no.
No, no, no. We're here now, but it's been a
little while. I think the last episode we

(01:14):
were, we recorded it in Portugalon vacation.
Yeah. And we've done a few vacations
since then. I guess.
It's been vacation season. It is, I mean, it's summer, so
it's kind of, you know, it feelsa bit all over the place.
I'm still travelling a lot for work back and forth to Berlin.
I'm working with normals and yeah, I, I feel like it's

(01:39):
summer. It's warm.
You kind of power down. Well, we definitely powered
down. We also say you were having a
particularly rough week and so Iout of the blue book does OK.
Here in Stockholm we have this amazing Japanese inspired spa

(02:02):
called Yasuragi. I think they take Japanese
inspiration a little too far where it seems like it's a
Japanese spa, but it's not. It is Japanese inspired.
It's called Yasuragi. It's wonderful.
We've been going there for many,many years, but it's been five
years since the last time we went probably.
And so I just booked it out of the blue and said, look, we're

(02:23):
going to have a day. You can book two nights.
So you have a whole day where because at this place you only,
you get there and then you change into the robe that they
give you and that's it. You just wear the robe and the
swimsuits that they provide. No packing.
Even when you go to the restaurants, everything like you
don't have to bring anything butthe clothes you're going to

(02:44):
arrive and leave in, everything else is provided.
But there was a big decision to make that you were going to make
the wrong decision, and I helpedyou.
And that's true, but it's because I forgot.
Because I was like, OK, what watches will we wear?
Because we're in this really cool, especially they have these
beautiful outdoor bathing areas and then you have like, really,

(03:06):
it's made of really pretty slaterock.
So I just was imagining like a beautiful photo.
And so I asked food, like, what watch are you gonna wear?
And he's like, Oh my hovering. Yeah, 'cause I.
Recently brought the hovering ona watery trip.
Yeah, but I was like, you're notgonna bring a Japanese watch to
the Japanese. You have many to choose from.
True, most of them aren't by the.

(03:29):
Definition are not water alreadythe.
Manufacturers are not meant to go into these pools.
OK, but then I realized my limited edition Grand Seiko, the
SPGA 3210, I hope I got that oneright.
The European limited edition in the 44 GS case like that one is

(03:53):
100 meters. Yeah, it.
Doesn't have a. Screw down Crown or any of that,
but I I've never cared about that stuff.
Also the water was like if you just stand up it was not.
Even it it never even made it a meter under no.
No, there, there was not a lot of even a meter.
That there that it had to contend with.
It was like, if the seals are atall decent, it's fine.

(04:14):
Yes, and I wore my Corona Tokyo,which is so beautiful, and my
little stars were really, reallyshining in the pool light.
Yeah. So we brought our Japanese
watches to a Japanese themed spa.
Yeah. And it was super relaxing.
I I I highly recommend Yasiragi if you're in Stockholm and need

(04:35):
to chill. Yeah, it was a really lovely
time. And I do think it was fun
because you can see the people who still care about watches
because they have their watch on.
And even though you're like, I'mnot supposed to even care about
the time, it was so weird not tohave a watch on that.
Sometimes I wore it and sometimes I didn't, but I wanted

(04:57):
to have it on because I was alsolike, it's just beautiful and it
makes me happy. OK, on this trip I didn't, but
on previous trips we've booked things, you know, like they have
yoga classes and they have massages and one time I did the
sensory deprivation chamber. That was weird.
I I don't like. It that much also it didn't

(05:19):
deprive me of all the sense it'sespecially sound.
There was a loud buzzing. Yeah, yeah, Like and and light.
Anyway, it, it wasn't what it was.
It should have been, but, but this was many years ago.
Anyway, I like, sometimes it makes sense because you have
reservations at the restaurant and you have these other things,

(05:40):
so you wear watches. But I think what it is is since
everyone gets there and they're all wearing the exact same
thing. Everyone's wearing these robes
and that's it. It's a it's quite an equalizer.
Mm, Hmm. But then you'd see.
On the same bathing suit too. They get everyone the same
bathing. Same bathing suits.
So then the only way you differentiate is well of course
your body and who you are and tattoos and stuff.

(06:03):
Especially here in Sweden your. Face.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that kind of stuff.
But also jewelry. Mm.
Hmm. And, and different people wore
jewelry in different ways. And watches was a big part of
it. So it, it was interesting to
see. Yeah.
It was a fun little watch excursion even though not for.
Yeah, some people had like, big chains on their necks, like,
hey. This is me.

(06:23):
This is me and I and I I do not mind that this large gold chain
clashes with my robe. Well, that's in my mind.
Yeah, exactly. Maybe it was perfectly suited.
But in this time, we've also gotten some new watches.
We have and OK. The weirdest part to me is that

(06:45):
the 2 watches we're going to talk about today are not a genre
of watch that I would have expected myself to get.
I have one. Do I have more than one?
I have one in my collection. If I if I know what you're
talking about. Oh, Chronograph.
OK. OK.

(07:07):
I do know what you're talking about, and you have two.
I have two chronographs. You have a Daytona and an IW.
Oh, the. Daytona, OH.
You forgot that Daytona was a chronograph.
Yeah, I thought about the IW. OK.
I mean, you don't use your Daytona chronograph because you
always talk about how the screw down pushers like you can't be

(07:28):
bothered to unscrew them. No.
Lazy. Yeah.
So you don't use it as a chronograph, but it is.
It it it is its main feature andalso what it's named after.
OK, well, now I'm very red because I'm like the only person
to forget their Rolex Daytona. That's not good, OK.

(07:49):
Well, you don't forget the watch, but you did that.
It was a chronograph. OK, so yes, we both got new
chronographs, which again, sinceI can't even remember that I own
chronographs, then you could seemy surprise that I bought a
chronograph I don't even find. I don't even use the feature.
Again, obviously by not remember.

(08:13):
OK, you go. You go first because now I'm so
embarrassed. Yeah, I'll go 1st and it
shouldn't be a surprise because I I recently talked about how if
I can get this watch. You will change your life.
No, you will change your entire life because of it.

(08:33):
That's what you said. I have it recorded.
Everyone has heard it. Contract sign.
OK, OK, I did promise that if I got.
If there was any way if? There was any way that I could
get a Tudor FXD Chronograph Cycling Edition limited Edition
pink that was made for the Giro di Italia?

(08:54):
Then I would turn my entire health life around.
How's that working? Out well so far.
So good actually. Yeah, train for the Veteran run
then next year June twenty, 26315 kilometers around Lake
Veteran. I always like to say in one day
because I I'm like, what? It doesn't make any sense 12.

(09:18):
Hours. Probably, yeah.
Depends. But that's I mean, that's a
wild. I have 11 months to train, maybe
I can do it in 10 hours. That would be cool, yeah, but
it's just so long. So yeah, 315 kilometers in one
day. Well, it depends on the time you
you get, because sometimes you get a night time, so you start
at like 10:00 PM and then you have to just ride through the

(09:41):
night. I don't want that.
No, and that's almost 200 miles.It is.
It is almost like for. Our US clips.
Probably 200 miles. Yeah.
I was like, why didn't they? Just just a little tiny bit more
and it'd be 200 miles anyway. So yeah, I got the watch I am
wearing right now. Well, I'm not going to say that
whole name again. This is the long name, but I'm

(10:02):
wearing the watch right now. It's amazing.
It's 1 of 300 which is. It is one of 300, which is a
very rare thing for rare thing for tutor.
Yeah, they don't like even with their daring watches, which
they've talked about being limited production and they can
sometimes be or feel hard to getor difficult you had.

(10:22):
There's waiting lists and stuff,but they're not limited in
number, at least not numbers that we know of, but.
This has to be engraved. On the back right, so they
recently have released 2 watchesthat are numbered limited
editions. There was the carbon 25 and this
one, this one's 300 pieces. That one's 2025.

(10:45):
It's much more limited this watch, but also probably.
But then they also did the tour difference.
Oh yeah, Which? Is also 300 just.
Released the yeah, just a few weeks ago, they announced the
Tour de France version. So the main difference that the
original Tutor FXC Chrono cycling edition was was released
about a year ago, had red accents.

(11:08):
And this Jiro de Italia version has pink accents.
It's a watch I felt confident they would make and they did.
So I'm very excited. And then the Tour de France, of
course, is yellow accents. And you did, I mean, you had
predicted that one too because they were entering the Tour de
France this year, so. Only makes sense.

(11:29):
Yeah, first time in Tour de France this year.
It's like they're not gonna not commemorate that with a watch.
Yeah, that's true. Yeah.
Not, not, not. Anyway, OK, the watch, it's even
more amazing than I thought. Like I love it even more than I
thought. I was confident that I was
really gonna like it was use it to inspire myself to get on the

(11:52):
bike. Which, you know, I've had the
watch since last week and I havegot on the bike five times.
That's not bad. Which is like.
That's more than I have in the past.
Year percent increase, 500% increase of bike riding.
Yeah. Yeah, it's.
Working. It is definitely working so far.
There's a few things that makes it work, and there are things

(12:15):
that make this watch really stand out.
Often times we can, it could be a feeling, it can be just an
accusation that we as enthusiasts make.
But it can feel like even new versions of watches that come
out are just rehashes of things that already exist.
And when this watch came out, I did see people saying like, oh,

(12:35):
it's just like the Alinghi edition, the Red Bull Alinghi
chronograph that was released because it's a carbon case.
And but that actually has a rotating bezel.
It is a different watch. And this one does not have that.
And it has a rather novel tachymeter scale because most

(12:57):
tachymeter scales go down to 60 units per per per unit.
Yeah, actually. So you can time down to like 60
mph or kilometers per hour or whatever it is.
This goes all the way down to 20because it can wrap around three
times around the dial so much better speeds for cycling.

(13:19):
So that's, that's fun, That's cool.
And also I've been told, but I haven't seen it on any tutor
stuff yet, but I've been told that these pushers which do not
have screw down pushers, right? Like you can just access them at
any time that they can be pushedwhen wet, which is a feature

(13:40):
that typically everyone says like with chronographs, you
cannot depress the pushers when the watch is wet or underwater.
With this one, I haven't been told you can use it underwater.
I don't know why you would, but I have been told like there is
no issue using it when wet, which is important when you're
cycling. But what if now you become a
triathlete after you do the bikerace?

(14:02):
Because then you can time yourself, yeah, when you're
swimming. Swimming.
Yeah, how I like swimming. I Lydia, as she said, swimming.
She made the doggy paddle the worldwide universal symbol for
doggy paddle. Which is how I imagine you're
swimming, so I don't think. Honestly, that probably would be
how I'd swim. I.

(14:22):
Don't think. You should do it.
No, no, no. But I guess if someone could.
Swim in this it's 100 meters water resume.
If someone was a triathlete, it would be cool for them if you
could do the usher with when it's.
The the thing about this watch Otutor chronographs, I have
another one, the ink, the Black Bay chronograph that's a chunky

(14:43):
heavy, like you feel that way? Yeah, even off the bracelet,
even when I put it on an Erica'soriginal or one of the deluxe
Velcro straps, the Delcro strapslike still the head of the watch
is heavy. You feel it.
I like that about it because it's nice to have watches

(15:03):
different kinds. This one is the opposite.
It feels weirdly light. So I have used for years my
regular FXD MN21. That's my kind of workout watch,
right? If I'm going hiking, running,
biking, any of those things, I've used that watch.
And one of the reasons is because the titanium watch, I

(15:25):
kept it on Erica's original, so it's very comfortable and
lightweight and that was great. 83 grams right?
Like that's a light watch. This one that's on a strap,
right? This one is 71g, so it's 12
grams lighter than the regular time only titanium FXD.

(15:46):
The other day I came home and hewas like, hey, hey, hey, look,
look at this. And he's using like our kitchen
scale measuring. Yeah, he's got a little paper
towel so that, you know, the watch does not touch the, the
metal. And then he's just look, look,

(16:07):
look, look at the difference. I had a lot of watches.
And he's just weighing all of these watches and I was like, I
have a mad scientist. But OK, like earlier this year,
we checked out the Ulis Nardian,you know, that new diver air, I
think it's called, and I think that was like 40G or something
around there. And it really is incredible.

(16:27):
And it just like made me realizelike, oh, I would appreciate an
incredibly light watch in a different way than I appreciate
like a heavy watch. Yeah, they did a really cool
thing, I think at one of their events, they tied it to a
balloon. They were kind of passing it
around that way. And that's that's a very, that's
cool, very visual communication of like here is, yeah, it's

(16:49):
super light. Look, these balloons are going
to take it away. Yeah, there's a documentary that
just came out about that balloonboy.
MMM. So if you make a big enough
balloon, you could actually carry a boy way.
Oh OK. Did you not know about that?
It was on the news. No, no, no.
I don't remember how long ago but the documentary just hit
now. Got it.
OK. There's a quick recommendation

(17:09):
for. People.
Balloon boy, I think it's calledtrain wreck.
Balloon Boy. Which?
Yeah. That's not good.
That's not good, though. Anyway, it was huge news.
Is all bad stuff, so no. Wait, is train wreck a series?
Yeah, and it's all bad things. That's why it's called train
wreck. OK.
You know. No, I get that.
I just didn't really. It was a series.
I thought it was just a one off documentary.

(17:30):
They did a bunch of other things, but I don't want to talk
about any of them on the podcastbecause they're all like sad and
disturbing. Well, this one is well, I guess
it's technically a little bit. I haven't watched the
documentary. I do remember the news story,
but anyway, OK, moving on. So then I was curious, like, OK,
I've never felt a chronograph this lightweight and that.

(17:55):
I remember like what I was thinking like, OK, lightweight
watches that aren't astronomicalin price, right?
Like not like these Richard Meal, like incredibly engineered
lightweight things, but like something more attainable.
Although this one's still prettyexpensive.
I remember that when the Omega Aqua Terra Ultra Light came out

(18:16):
and that was kind of cool. That's still 55g.
That's only 16 grams lighter than this watch.
Like it's it. That is a different on a kitchen
scale and I will show you the truth.
And then I like looked up the Red Bull FXD, right, which is
also a carbon case, but it has abezel on it, right?

(18:39):
And I think the pushers might be, I don't know what they're
made of, but it's, it is a different construction.
And that one's 90 grams, right, instead of 71.
So it is a completely different feel, like it is not the same
watch. It's very, very different.
And I think because then I was like, well, is this the lightest
weight chronograph in the world?I think someone would have

(19:01):
mentioned that if it was. I was like, what's the lightest
weight chronograph in the world?There is a Zenith Defy
chronograph that's 55g, but I couldn't find out whether or not
that was the absolute. Lightest symptom?
How much is my little chronograph weighing?
Oh, did you get a chronograph? Yeah, I did.

(19:21):
So wait. Well, just to wrap up this
though, like my life feels pretty much changed already.
Yeah. I mean, OK, so you talked about
this in the hypothetical. If I get this watch, I will
change my life. A lot of people, including
myself, we're kind of interestedin you getting the reward in

(19:44):
order to do the thing. Like you're not using it as a
reward, you're using it as an impetus.
So do you think that's like different kind of collectors?
Because I start to see some people are like, oh, OK, if I
get this watch, I'm whatever. You know that's true.
I I it is a quite typical thing to hear people say that they use

(20:05):
watches or whatever their fun hobby thing is that they get as
rewards. I have never done that in my
life. You usually use.
Them for indications in order tobe able to do other things.
Yeah. I mean, this is very typically
VU. You kind of accumulate first and
then start whatever it is. So like.

(20:26):
When I wanted to get into woodworking.
Yeah, all built. The workshop.
Then I tried woodworking. Yeah.
You were very good at it, so it's fine I.
I realized that that was my personality maybe 25 years ago
when a friend was like, hey, youknow, some of my friends were
inviting me to go paint aintballing, do you want to go
aintballing? And I was like, I don't know, I
don't know if I like aintballing.

(20:47):
O then I scraped U all the little cash that I could and I
went and I bought everything I could possibly need for
aintballing. Did you like it?
I did like. Oh, OK, because I never did it
because I bruised too easily? No.
It it's incredibly painful. Yeah, I don't have any.
I used to go down to Camp Pendleton, which is like this

(21:08):
big military camp in, in California, in Southern
California. And we'd, we'd do paintball
there. Yeah.
No, I never. People were like, don't you want
to do paintball with us? And I was always like why I
don't want to get. Why do you want to go just get
paint? Remember what I've said about
surviving? Like why I'm not going to make
it. I don't want it.

(21:30):
Your watch, What is that a reward for?
Or you're not saying that was a reward?
No, that's the thing, mine. Is just like.
Decided to get it. No, it's just that some people
were like, oh, I use the reward for the milestone.
Oh, I got the new promotion. It's not like you're kind of
like, if I wear this watch, I'llget the promotion.

(21:53):
You know, you're, you're like, you're like the opposite.
So it was just a, it was just kind of something that I was
thinking about of like as collectors obviously like the
main thing is justification, butin your case, you're justifying
for future. Yeah, yeah, like.
Here's another way to look at it.

(22:13):
OK, I can't wait. Let's say what I said was if I
change my entire life around, become super healthy, yeah,
train for a year to do this bikeride.
And if I do all that, then I getto buy this watch.
Well, what if I what if I fail? Then I don't get the watch.

(22:39):
OK, I I love that very. This like right now I have the
watch already, so the stakes arevery different.
Interesting. Yeah, yeah.
If I somehow it's not going to happen obviously.
Our only pride and not the watch.
Yeah, the stakes are public. Yeah, public humiliation of

(23:00):
broadcasting it here on our lovely podcast and saying, oh,
this is what I'm going to do. And then, hey, we'll see if it
happens or not, but but I think it's going to.
Happen, but I no, it's going to happen.
Don't be a weasel weasel words When we went to a a fitness
camp, they were like try is a weasel word.

(23:20):
You have to just say you're going to do it, so you're going
to do it. I'm going to be.
Weasels are kind of. Cheer.
No, I'm going to be cheering at the finish line, maybe wearing
the watch that I bought because I helped inspire you.
Oh, you're rewarding yourself for my That's amazing.
That's a. Smart way.

(23:40):
That's a great reward. You.
Start basically making those bets with yourself over other
people's achievements. Yeah, that gets dicey, you know.
What if if my friend successfully does this thing
that they're trying to do, I'm gonna get myself.
Hold Yeah, I will also. But if you do that with enough

(24:01):
friends then you get a lot of watches.
Yeah, but I mean, I don't think I need to buy more watches.
This is not the way. Oh OK, well, Speaking of buying
new watches. Wait, one, one last thing.
What? How does this watch fit into
your collection? Or you're collecting has it, you
know, like has it changed anything?

(24:22):
It's taken some of the burden away from the FXDMN 21 OK as
being the adventure, not adventure.
Adventure watches are separate if the I call it the workout
watch because this is more like when I was doing things that
were specifically like workout oriented.

(24:44):
So like, oh, today I'm going to go on a hike as exercise.
I'm going to go on a run as exercise.
I'm going to go biking as exercise.
That was all done with my FXE and I did love that, but when I
found out that Tudor wanted to make a lot specific for cycling,
like, well, now I could carve biking.

(25:05):
Into a different just working out.
So now the FXD is for when I'm on my feet, but when I'm on
wheels, then I got the well, it's also an FXD, but the FXD
Chrono. OK.
Also it's just so much more comfortable and light in.
In some ways it makes me want toreplace all of the activities
with this watch, but then I'll need another watch to split off

(25:28):
I guess. OK, but then the question may be
to put it more appointed. Are you becoming tutor boy?
You are. You were previously Oakley Boy 5
and you are really going. Yeah, I guess it is.
Quite tutor crazy? Not as much as our dear friend
Trish who has so many tutor watches.

(25:48):
Like a prolific and amazingly cool collection.
So maybe you have a ways to go still.
I think I do. I if you think about tutor
collecting, there's so many different avenues you can go
down, even if you're just looking at modern tutors.
Because I have thought about thefact that, well, OK, you own the
925, the silver, but you don't wear it much.

(26:11):
So I was like, I could buy that from you.
Then I just need bronze. Then I'd have everything but the
gold tutor. So it's like tutor experiments
with all these materials and I own them all.
Except for golds, too rich for my blood.
Gold tutor. I don't.
I don't. Know, I know it's.
It's just not. It doesn't feel like me.
But then it's not really the full collection, OK?

(26:32):
Well, I. Guess OK so then, but I do.
Love tutor. I think it's interesting because
you're collecting has shifted and changed and you have
especially, you moved a lot towards Japanese watches, but
you always have been coming backto tutor.
So that's more of the thing thatI think is really cool and
interesting in your collecting, even when you're branching out

(26:55):
further. Yeah, Tutor is still a place
that like fits really well and you.
And in my main collection, now that I've sold off all my
Rolexes, all of my Swiss watchesare tutors.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. OK.
So I have Japanese, German, British and Swiss watches, but

(27:17):
all of my Swiss watches are tutors now.
Yeah, that's interesting. That is interesting.
OK, you've been living in suspense, I'm sure.
Over what chronograph? The person who can't even
remember which chronograph she owns.
But. But OK, first a few things about
me. I don't, I haven't in a while

(27:39):
done like a very spontaneous purchase and I even if I like
something I take at least an overnight.
But usually much more. Usually longer, but this one I
actually bought on the spot which is very weird for me.
It is. And I think you were in a

(27:59):
situation where you probably could have asked like, hey, can
you hold this for a day or two while I think about it?
And you chose, not just. Wanted it, you wanted it.
So we went to Neiman's ER which is our AD here in Stockholm.
They have a great certified, certified pre owned program that
I've bought. I bought my Royal Oak from after
switching my GMT Master 2 root beer and then I bought the the

(28:24):
quartz Royal Oak and 33 millimetres.
And so I always look there because they they just like
interesting watches, some brandsthat they carry in the store and
some brands they used to carry. And so I saw this watch and I
was just like, it's so weird andit's small.

(28:46):
Yeah. And it's so it's a 34mm watch.
It's also a brand I do not have in my collection, but I have
been this. This will be the biggest hit
gone to the manufacturer. In the 2016.
Yes, before I was into watches. So I actually bought my first

(29:07):
JLC. Yeah, and it is a master control
chronograph. The reference is 145 8.8 dot 31.
OK, it's 34mm. They have two different dial
options, a black and silver. This one these watches were made
from the 19 basically all through the 1990s till 1999 and

(29:31):
mine is in 1999 and it had recently been serviced which I
was very excited about. It is five ATM.
It had has the the bracelet is like so soft and luxurious.
It really has the feel of a Cartier pound there.
I think like the look and feel. It has a crown that is like 4

(29:54):
ants. It is so tiny.
I cannot I will never change thetime because I will never be
able to get this little little Ant crown open.
But the cool thing about it is that it is a mechanical quartz,
a mecha quartz. And it's very thin.
It's super thin, it's 8mm, so it's like the.

(30:16):
Thinnest chronograph I've ever. Really thin watch and that's
because of being quartz and mechanical.
But I was excited about this watch for a couple reasons.
First of all, it's like it's gotso much going on on the dial,
like it is really a bit of a maximalist dial, more than even
the Daytona, yeah, which has a lot going.

(30:37):
On with the date wheel. It has a date wheel that is
white. Yeah, on a blush's wheel watch.
Normally I wouldn't love it, butI do really like it on this one.
And the date is in red, which I think actually helps the the
white and the red make it kind of cool.
It stands out, but the date is in a very controversial space

(31:03):
which is in between 4:00 and 5:00. 4/30 date.
A 430 date I. Love a 4/30 date?
I do too, but highly, highly controversial.
Yes, it also has this. Really.
I mean, the cool thing is the subdials are really beautiful

(31:24):
and kind of classic, except for the bottom subdial, the seconds,
it actually has this like crosshairs.
So it looks very different and Ilike that too.
It has like tiny minute indicators and it has very
polished hands that are very angular or indices which kind of

(31:46):
make it look a much fancier thana chronograph.
And that's kind of what appealedto me about this watch is like,
it doesn't. It has multiple personalities
all in. One, it's like a lot.
It is a lot of things all in oneand in a small case.
In a really small case, I mean it has the full, you know,

(32:07):
chronograph around the outside like all of the numbers.
So it like it has everything there for.
The chronograph unexpected bracelet for the watch the.
Beautiful bracelet, it's kind. Of like a beads of rice, but you
wouldn't call. That, but I think beads of rice,
yeah. Is it beads of rice?
Beads. Of rice.
But it and then it also has dolphin hands, which I've never

(32:29):
had a watch with that and I onlynoticed it as a feature quite
recently on the vasharan Constantine, one of their
watches. And So what that is, is the
hands have like they're more broad and they have a faceted
triangle shape and they usually have a sharp taper, which this
one does. It's like a very long taper and

(32:51):
then it's brought, it's polishedon one side and brushed on the
other side. And so then ability has this
little which you can't see anything on this watch.
It's all tiny. So I'm really like, is this
where we're going for visibility?
Maybe if if it didn't have that,then there'd.
Be really couldn't see anything but the, the, the dolphin hands

(33:14):
I thought were cool because it'sjust again like that maximalist
of everything on this watch where there's like a little like
too much too many things where normally I would just say, OK, I
don't want that much design intoone watch, but somehow when it's
all crammed into this little 34mm, I find it very, very

(33:35):
delightful. Even like the, the black dial is
the lacquer. It's not matte.
So it again, it's like there's athere's a lot going on with the
hands, though. I wanted to look up a bit about
the history of them because I dothink they're really cool.
And so they started in the early20th century.

(33:59):
So they started being a bit morecommon in the 1930s and 1940s,
especially on dress watches. Again, that's why this one is
very interesting that it's this chronograph dress.
Yeah, I don't know what your timing with this little this
little weirdo. How long it takes the waiter to
bring your champagne. It's.
A It's a fancy baby. Well, we don't drink, so can

(34:21):
they bring me sparkling water, please?
And it was named after Dolphin of France, which was a title of
the heir to the French throne. And so it was this nobility and
classical refinement. And then they had a really
golden era during post World War2, the 1950s, Nineteen 60s.

(34:43):
And that was like Swiss design really moved towards this sleek
modernist. And so then you can still see
that influence in many, it was many watches, Potex, Vasharans,
Omega Long Gene, JLC, and they were usually paired with
sunburst styled applied indices,a thin dress case and this like
mid century elegance. The interesting thing is outside

(35:07):
of the sunburst style, the applied indices, the thin dress
case and that these hands are all on this little weirdo.
But then they when I was looking, it's also the modern
uses are really cool. Like I said, the vasharan
Constantine, it was the patrimony recently.

(35:29):
And then when I once you kind ofsee these hands, you're like,
wow, they're so cool. But they're also on a lot of
reissues because they actually show that they they have this
heritage look. So like the long jeans, Heritage
models, the grand? Quest I think has.
Yeah, Grand Seiko for their, they do this Ratsu polished

(35:50):
dolphin hands, which is very cool.
And then obviously the Master Control series for JLC, which
continues on and then the Omega Deville and the Constellation
reissues. And so it was again, very cool.
This was in a 1990s model, so who knows what the design I.

(36:11):
Don't know what was going on in the 90s.
They were like, throw it all on there all.
Right, so this watch is a littlebit strange in that way.
It does also feel 90s when you look at it.
For sure. Right.
And part of that is everything you've said.
So what of all the watches whichyou have some really nice

(36:34):
watches that you forced yourselfto wait a really long time to
make a decision on? What made?
What do you think it was that clicked with you where we didn't
even go for a walk for you to think about it.
You just bought it. I think it was a few things I

(36:55):
liked that it was pre owned, butI was buying it from the AD
because I always feel like I I was box papers.
It was a warranty. It like it has all the things
that I like because then I don'thave to worry about it.
It was recently serviced. So for me that was the part that
made the purchase easier. As far as like, OK, I know I

(37:19):
don't have to worry about it. I did a quick, quick, you know,
I don't know, 20-4 check on prices and it was a good price.
But the main thing I just felt that I would be really sad if I
lost it. And when I looked after then I
realized, like people say, therecould be as few as 500 of these

(37:39):
really. And that's.
Cool. The silver version you find more
on the beads of rice, like stillon the bracelet but with the
black ones it's much harder to find on the original bracelet.
So the bracelet because I've seen this watch on a leather
strap and I would never pick it like the bracelet really adds

(38:01):
like a huge amount to this watchso the.
Bracelet is a big part of what you.
Love big part of what I love about it and the the look of it,
the feel of it, how it wears. It does wear more jewelry but
then it's weird because why is it a jewelry chronograph?
So like like it doesn't. I mean, do you even know when
you have a chronograph on? No, I don't.

(38:23):
I don't ever time things 8 numbers.
Well, since you asked to me, then I'll ask you where does
this fit into your collection? Yeah, I've been thinking about
this a bit because I the thing Inoticed the most with my
collection is that it's tending smaller OK, because.

(38:48):
Let let's be clear everyone. No, not smaller in a smaller.
Watches like physically smaller sizes, not a smaller collection.
Let's. I just want to make sure that no
one misunderstands that point. Yeah.
I mean, when you look, when I look at the Royal Oak being 33mm

(39:08):
and then I have this 134, my Chopard 33, like my Rolexes are
36 for the most part outside of the Daytona.
I feel like I'm in a time periodwhere really the best, the
watches I am preferring are morein the 33 to 36.

(39:33):
You know the Tudor BB 54 like it's just it's a size that's
easy. One more millimeter?
Oh no, it's outside of the range.
No, you can stay. I'll go to 37.
No. And I mean, it's not a hard fast
like I have a lot of watches that are.
No, and that number isn't the end.
I'll be all of how a watch even presents it, but.

(39:55):
If I think of how my collection has progressed, then you I
dramatically see the smaller sizes because when I started
collecting it was really. I mean, when I got into the
watch world, which I think is more normal because especially
as a woman getting into watches,you're like, I can wear any

(40:18):
watch I want. And so then I went a lot bigger,
which I still anyone can wear any size.
But for me, some of it just became like, it's just a little
too big feeling. Not that it looks bad or you
know, I thought the root beer looked amazing.
I loved it, but my wrist just sometimes felt tired, you know?

(40:39):
Really you can. Get a 43mm chronograph I try
weighs 71. And I can change my life, it'll
also change. Your life change, my life
healthy. But I tried on that watch and it
looks really cool like so I can go.
Oversized. Cool.
Yeah. The other thing is I definitely

(40:59):
really like this sort of nineties 2000 style.
It fits both my clothing and my vibe.
So that would be where I see my collecting.
Yeah, but are. There predictions in this.
No, no, no, no predictions, no, but I wanted to.
I am far from done with this, talking about this watch because

(41:22):
I talked about all the aesthetics of it.
But actually the coolest thing is the Mecca Quartz, the
movement. It has an open case back.
That was another thing that got me right away because I already
love to look, but to have an open case back it, it's a really
nice looking movement because ofthe mechanical in quartz.

(41:43):
So JLC started making the caliber 63631 and 633 series in
the 1980s during the aftermath of the Quartz crisis.
So they developed this Mecca quartz chronograph movement.
They were a high end Swiss hybrid movement where you
combine the quartz regulated time keeping and then the

(42:04):
mechanical chronograph. So that's really a cool pairing.
It's kind of like a best of bothworlds, if I can say that.
Fun, fun. And they developed it in
collaboration with Valjou and who are famous for their
mechanical chronograph calibers.So it's like they really put a
lot of work into this. And so then I was kind of

(42:28):
curious, but why was it all likenot really used that much?
But The thing is it, it was it just wasn't only used by JLC.
So it was used by AP in their the.
Same movement. Yes, the same movement.
Their jewels. Autamar chronograph, quartz
model. Yeah.
And that was the 80s to 90s. IWC did a Mecca quartz flea

(42:54):
chronograph. Oh.
Really. 3741 is the reference number and that I was like is it
super cool Yeah, it is which would be so much cooler and it's
36mm. So I was like, wow, that would
have been like way perfect compared to my 37 O 6, which is
just it's a chunky, chunky baby.They also did the the movement

(43:20):
was used in the IWC Da Vinci chronograph the small Da Vinci
and then see da. Vinci Chronograph.
That's a dress chronograph. Yeah, so and then the Gerald
Genta Jeffica Safari they did because this caliber also could
be used as a annual calendar in moon phase.
So super cool. Yeah, and JLC, you know, their

(43:43):
history is making a lot of movements for a lot of awesome
watches not made by JLC. And obviously this one was a
departure, especially with a Swiss brand like embracing this
quartz innovation and but still preserving the mechanical
tradition. So that's what I liked about it.
I don't mind quartz. I have a lot of cool quartz

(44:05):
watches. I love my mechanical watches.
There's something fun about thisbeing that middle the the both.
It's like, oh, but it's also. I can't decide.
It's both in a way that makes a lot of sense because like having
the quartz time keeping means it's a grab and go.
Anytime you grab it, it's correct on the time, maybe not

(44:28):
the date, depending on how long,but it's correct on the time.
And then the chronograph, which is an on demand use thing.
That one is mechanical. So like it doesn't need quartz,
right? Because it doesn't, you're not
running the chronograph all the time.
So it it makes a mecha quartz movement makes a lot of sense.

(44:48):
Yeah, and I mean, now nowadays modern mecha quartz like the
kind of gold standard is Seiko VK movements.
And they are not only using themin their own watches, but then a
lot of especially like smaller brands are using mecha courts
because the those movements are obviously like great movements,

(45:08):
plus they are more affordable. So Yama, Laurier, Brew, Baltic
have all used the VK movements for the mecha courts, which I
think is just really cool. Like lives on even though not in
the Hyatt luxury watchmaking. They're like, no, we are done

(45:30):
with those. Yeah, I mean, that is kind of
how it goes though, right? Like high end luxury watchmaking
is still mostly about preservingthis heritage of mechanical and
a Mecca quartz. I could see how some brands
would be like no, no, no, no, nothat that deviates from this

(45:52):
vision of preserving mechanical history.
Yeah. But I mean, I guess that's all
kind of dependent on like in this case where you have the
traditional mixed with somethingnewer.
Which I think is super. Cool.
I think a good cool example of that recently as the F Pajorn
Elegante that my my bestie Brit Pierce has.

(46:15):
Go watch her video. She's the coolest.
But that 1 is really cool because the quartz movement
becomes the star and there's a lot of work put into it.
And then when you, you pick it up at the time goes back to the
correct time. So it's like quartz, but there's
something that feels more mechanical about the way it
works, which I think is really interesting.

(46:37):
And then you have, I mean, I think that especially Grand
Seiko has done so much for courts and like changing the,
the feelings about it and like really again, using the high
accuracy and saying like, OK, wepushed that forward.
And to me that's that. Then it, it's pushing

(47:01):
watchmaking forward. So it's spring drive.
I mean spring. Drive is OK, very different from
Mecca Quartz, but there's a similar spirit in a sense
because it's combining the two technologies.
Spring Drive is a much more complex version of that.
It's not just the two technologies operating two

(47:22):
different parts of the watch. It's like, no, the two
technologies combining to createa singular mechanism that runs
the watch with which is Spring Drive.
So, yeah, all these different ways of pushing technology
forward, but also keeping some of that historical.
And there's there are benefits to it.

(47:44):
Like there are benefits to having like, let's say a spring
Dr. movement that like part of the reason was to not have to.
And I know there are watches that you don't have to change
the battery for a very, very long time, but a typical quartz
watch, you're changing the battery like in three years.
And with Spring Drive, like the goal was like, OK, maybe we want

(48:07):
the accuracy of quartz, but you don't have to open the case
nearly as much. Which is nice because I mean, my
Cartier, it's just sitting at 10:10 right now because I have
to get the battery changed and I'm like.
I think the last time you also it's.
The right choice A day, yeah. A little.
Need to bring it in. But yeah, this is I, I think

(48:28):
it's, they're very interesting watch choices for us.
Yours is definitely more expected.
It is more. Expected, but it's also OK.
So I do already own a Tudor Daring watches pink chronograph.
Yeah. So I like, I like that you're
like, no, no, no, no. Mine is.

(48:50):
Unexpected, but but like from anoverall look and vibe, it is
quite a departure for me. Like a black and pink watch.
Yeah, right. There's no steel to be seen.
No, you know, so it's a very, itdoes doesn't have any heritage
vibe at all. And most of my watches have more
of a heritage vibe. Like that is typically the type

(49:13):
of watch that I'm attracted to. This feels entirely modern.
OK. Stylistically, yes, actually,
yeah, I agree with that. I also also Oh FX it's another
fixed lug. It is also Zombie Apocalypse
rated. Yes, OK.
I. Could ride bikes during the

(49:34):
zombie apocalypse. You talked about this that you
would be able if you have a fixed lugs you could then you'd
never have to worry about springbars and you could just make
yourself new straps. New.
Straps and my brother wrote to me and said that you would
definitely be eaten while you were fiddling with your watch.
And I was like, Yep, Jeremy, no,correct.

(49:56):
I'll be so fit because I've changed my life around and
become so healthy. I mean, it's gonna be a few
months. Yeah, at.
Least yeah, yeah, yeah. So hopefully the zombie the.
Healthiest of my life. Happened quite yet, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, as long as it doesn't happen for the next few
months, but. I, I'll be good.
I have to say I, I liked. Thanks.
Thanks for this assessment of this.

(50:18):
I'm incredibly happy with this watch.
I I OK most of the times you geta new watch, you're incredibly
happy with it Yeah, I've I've had this one for less than a
week so it let's not go too wildover that I I get it that that's
a fairly standard feeling It should when you get it you.
Definitely should. If you don't feel that way, you
should go and return it. Right away.

(50:41):
Because that's that's very bad if you've spent the money and
you don't feel excited about it.But I do, I do feel that this is
a departure for me. It is something different.
It feels different. And when I wear it, I use it
differently. There is something about having
chronograph pushers that you don't have to unscrew, right?
Like they're just at the ready and knowing, or at least having

(51:03):
been told. And then I need to verify that I
can use them in the rain. And you know, when, when the
watch is wet, that the chronograph pushers are
completely OK to use. And then the lightweight and the
comfort that comes from that. And also like last night, you
and I went on a nice date and wewere walking around the city
afterwards and I, I just had this moment where I realized

(51:25):
like, this is a watch that will draw no attention from anyone,
no unwanted attention to. Anyone.
I actually had a really funny realization.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, because it's on a
fabric strap, it's black and pink.
It it, it kind of looks like a plastic watch from the outside.
Well, technically carbon fiber is resin.

(51:47):
It's plastic, right? So it is a plastic watch, but a
very nice one. And I, I truly, I I'm so happy
with this watch. I'm very grateful to Tudor and
to Neiman's for helping me get it.
It's just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You. Can't tell life change.
And also it changed my entire life.
So what are you going to do? Right?

(52:08):
OK, so we have been talking, well, we've been talking about
doing this episode ever since wedid the last episode.
We no, I'm not going to go too deep into.
It getting. Stressed much we talk about
like, hey, we got to record our next podcast, but one of the
things that we've talked about recently, like we listen to
other podcasts that make him as a surprise like Foreman function

(52:33):
or the Grey NATO. And one of the things that they
do at the end of their podcast is a recommendations section.
Yes, they have different names for it.
You know we can't steal other people's names.
No. And I'm definitely not stealing
foreman function who calls it homework.
And I was a former teacher, so no, sorry James and.
Lydia told me, Oh no, I have a name for it.

(52:56):
And I was like, oh, what is it? And she's like, you'll find out
on the podcast. OK, so.
So here we are. What's our name for a
recommendation segment? So first I'll tell a story and
it's about Vu. Wait, what?
And it's about. So this is something he was
really known for. And one of our friends put it in
a really funny way because Vu loves to recommend stuff.

(53:20):
If you've listened to literally any episode of this podcast,
including this one problem, you've been recommended
something. And so they started kind of like
characterizing him, him saying it.
And they would always say like, oh, oh, oh, look, it's the best.
OK, you have to go. Oh, the best, the best.

(53:42):
You have to, oh, this, this foodat this place the best.
And so they were always saying the best.
So I thought our segment could be called the best.
OK, you know what? All right, this, this went down
a very wholesome path. I'm very happy with this story.
I'm not embarrassed about it. But that group of friends, they

(54:02):
went on a road trip across the US.
They're from, they're all from Sweden.
They went on this like southern US road trip.
And apparently on the whole roadtrip they'd like, they'd go to
Walmart to get a hot dog. And they were like, this is the
best. Hot dog it became.
As making fun of me, but also I I would think it's lovingly
making fun of me. Yeah, because you are a very

(54:25):
enthusiastic recommender and so that this can be your section of
enthusiastic recommendation. OK, It's so boring not to be
enthusiastic. So So what do you consider the
best right now? Oh, mine is so easy.
OK, OK, listen up. OK, how should I start this?

(54:48):
First of all, this is not my genre of books.
I'll start there. This is not my genre of books at
all. And I got into this back in a
backwards way because I saw a movie trailer for a movie based
on a book. And I thought the trailer was so

(55:10):
interesting that I read this really long sci-fi book, which
sci-fi is not. I'm, I'm more fantasy curly, but
occasional sci-fi. Yeah.
But this this was like a long, you know, like a really long
sci-fi book. And not only did I just love it,

(55:31):
but I became I am a bit obsessedover it.
I was like going into Reddit andlooking at theories which.
You know, for some people might just sound like, Oh yeah, I do
that everyday. Lydia does not do that.
I only do it. There's like only one other time
that I can think of it being this strong.
And it was when I watched the first new trilogy of Star Wars,

(55:55):
The Force Awakens. And then I was like, who is Ray?
And like it consumed me. I do remember.
And so this book is called Project Hail Mary by Andy Ware.
He also wrote The Martian. I haven't read that one.
I also haven't seen the movie though, and I'm not going to.
I'm going to read the book 1st and watch the movie.

(56:17):
The movie that's coming out March 20th, 2026.
It's going to be a little while.Is starring Ryan Gosling, who
again, if you've listened to thepodcast, you know, I just think
he's great. And watching the trailer, I was
like, this just seems interesting.
And from the second I started the first page of the book, I

(56:40):
was like, I'm so in. I love the character.
I think Ryan Gosling's a good fit for it.
It gave me something to imagine.I'm not an imaginative reader.
I just read and so this gave me like a picture of everyone.
After reading the book, I basically told my sister you

(57:03):
have to read this now and she was like OK, the audio book has
amazing recommendations. I'll do the audio book, like 12
hour audio book, Howard through it so we could discuss, discuss.
Wasn't it 16? 16 I think it is 1616 hours.
I am going to listen to the audio book now because it's
supposed to be amazing. Then Mindy just sends a photo, a

(57:29):
screenshot of the audio book to my brother Jeremy, and just said
hey and like with no context. And he's like.
Hey do. I have to read this now and
we're like, yes. And then he listened to it too.
Oh, has he listened to it? Yeah.
Fully so and I am bugging VU probably every single day and
now that I'm putting this on thebest then I want him to read it

(57:52):
or listen to it to. Be clear, my only like
reservation is my love of moviesand the difficulty I have
watching movies for books that I've read because I have a very
high bar that they must meet in order to make me happy.
And they almost never do. Maybe never have I read a book

(58:15):
and then still enjoyed the movie.
But I think the difference here.There is a chance with this.
One, the reason there's a chanceis because I can watch the
trailer a few times to embed thewhat I know in that trailer into
my imagination when I read the book.
That's what I did. I definitely imagine things when

(58:37):
I read, and the problem has always been for me that the
characters on screen in a movie never live up to the characters
I've made in my head. Yeah, and people have a
difficulty with that because of the fact that they listen to an
audio book for 16 hours and havea voice.
So then they're like, oh, the voice doesn't.

(58:58):
The voice isn't correct. I don't think I'd listen.
To the audio book. I read.
It all in Ryan Gosling's voice. I had a great time, I love him.
But OK, first of all, if you would like to DM me and talk
anything about Project Hail Mary, even if you hated the new
trailer, Comic Con is this weekend and there's a panel and
I'm very excited to see what comes out of it.

(59:19):
So look, if you have read it, let's talk about it.
If you haven't, do it, read it or listen to it.
Don't watch the trailer because there there is a quite a big
spoiler in the trailer. I am kind of still pro the
spoiler because that spoiler wassomething that made me
interested to watch it. But you know, I'm I'm I'm weird

(59:41):
with my reading and and. I mean, you read spoilers while
you're watching. Spoilers so.
Let's not. Yeah, we're not going to say
that you're the average. OK.
And my the best ties into watches because Ryan Gosling, he
is the Tag Hoyer ambassador. He's not on social media.
So the only thing they get is him wearing their watches in

(01:00:05):
movies or on red carpets. That's it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's wearing the Tag.
Hoyer Connect. Very interesting.
It's. Very curious because the movie's
set in space, yeah? Yeah.
That's not a spoiler, it's the front cover of the book.
Like what? What's it connected to?

(01:00:26):
I guess it's connected to him. It's it makes sense when he's
wearing it on Earth. What?
I just don't know how they're gonna do it, but I think they're
gonna. I had to guess.
My guess is they're gonna. They'll give it.
They're gonna. Fit it in, yeah.
It'll be like a Bond watch, but more realistic.
Yeah. You know, like I I my.
Guess would be useful. Yeah, but he is wearing it in

(01:00:49):
the. Spaceship He.
Is wearing it in the space scenes so very cool?
OK, OK. Tag wearer takes on Omega.
You heard it here. All right.
OK, what is the? Best is kind of a obvious one,
but it's it's 1 I think that matters.
Yeah, if I do say so myself, I OK, I'm I'm going to make it a

(01:01:12):
little broad and say the switch to the Nintendo Switch to came
out recently. We got ours, you know.
You I wasn't going to upgrade. You told me I should, and then I
did. So I listened to your
recommended therefore project helmer.
So like at launch, it came with Mario Kart World, which is the

(01:01:34):
new Mario Kart. Mario Kart obviously being like
a massive seller for the original switch and just for
Nintendo over the consoles over the years.
Mario Kart is a huge franchise and Mario Kart World is
wonderful. And that was the the single like
true launch title, like big ticket Nintendo launch title.

(01:01:58):
But just last week Donkey Kong Bonanza came out and you and I
have been playing together and it is truly joyful.
Yeah, but also fantasy life. Oh yeah.
Because it wasn't a launch title.
It came out a few weeks earlier but then it has the upgrade so.
There's a bunch of Nintendo Switch One titles, Fantasy Life

(01:02:20):
is one of them that received Switch 2 upgrades.
And they're awesome. So the graphics have been
updated and also the way it operates on the Nintendo Switch
2, you receive all the benefits of essentially this amazing
processor and the fantastic performance that comes out in

(01:02:41):
Nintendo Switch 2, which the community over time has now
realized is basically as powerful as a PlayStation 4,
Xbox Series S. Those are home consoles and this
little handheld, it's not that little because now the screen is
8 inches, but this handheld is as powerful as those.

(01:03:02):
And you can tell because I've also been replaying Breath of
the Wild, but now in these really high end graphics and
with much shorter load times andeverything is just wonderful.
So the first Switch lasted for eight years on the market and we
have used it during that entire.Year.
Every time we travel, I think there were little lulls where we

(01:03:22):
wouldn't. But no, I don't.
Know about that I mean I I thinkjust having it as a home console
but then being able to travel with it like it delivers on
everything and this one's even better.
I actually have been saving games because I'm going to fly
to Florida and I just want to play them on the plane so I can
play. Not run out of games.
I know, but I just, it's so fun to like start a game on the way.

(01:03:47):
Like I did that with Pokémon Go Evie, Let's Go Evie.
So highly recommend Nintendo Switch to the original.
Switch is still amazing though. Like the only things you're
missing out are the switch to exclusives, and there aren't
that many of them yet. But yeah, I love Nintendo, I
have forever. I love the Zelda franchise

(01:04:08):
probably the most, but you and Ialso love Kirby.
We love OK. Love Kirby?
Kirby is a good example. It's kind of like when I just
said I wasn't that into sci-fi, but actually I have like a quite
extensive list of sci-fi things that I either like or have read
or. Or watched.
Watched so it's similarly if we wanted us to play Kirby, I was

(01:04:30):
like, no, it's just like a like a, a fight, not a fight game,
but like you just kind of run around and fight things, fight
things. It's a fight, a little hit game.
I I love it. You just eat everything and spit
it out and it's the best. Kirby's amazing, wonderful,
adorable. There's a new one coming out in
October or reissue and I can't wait.

(01:04:51):
It's the yeah, the October will be Kirby and the Forgotten Land,
new DLC, Perfect. And the upgrades that other
games have gotten with, like thenew graphics and the new.
Yeah, yeah. Oh.
Well, that's yeah, I love this switch.
OK, so those are the best, a lotof a lot of content for you.

(01:05:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 16 hours of audiobook.
Games wear watches. Those are our recommendations.
That's our new podcast title. That would fit our lives.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, thanks everybody.
It's great to be back and I hopeyou have a wonderful week.
Yeah, I well, yeah, always a wonderful week.

(01:05:36):
I, I don't know why I was like, I have to think about that.
Like Nah, I think you shouldn't have like an OK week.
Bye bye.
