139. Watch Ice Cream Wars, Can You Say JLC?; And The Seiko Design Team Goes To Spearmint Rhinoceros
Listen now
Description
Richard is back to host this week's aBlogtoWatch Weekly show — sadly, he needs a vacation from his vacation —  and the team starts right off on its usual quirky path by asking ChatGPT the price of a rhino. What does this have to do with watches? It all comes back to Hublot. (You'll have to listen to decode all this.) Then Rick chastises Ariel and Ripley for talking about too many watches last week. Once that post-mort is done, the guys spend some time talking about Ariel's recent column, whose thesis is that watch consumers don't really care who invented things. An interesting convo ensues. Back on the subject of watch books, which took up a good bit of air time last week, the team discusses the new Rolex Submariner book. Then it's on to some chitchat about watches from Casio, Sinn, and Hublot, followed by the moment we all wait for every week.... Guess the Price of the Seiko! As per usual, they conclude the show with a few rounds of Hit, Miss, Maybe. 0:00 Introduction 9:57 Ariel's Thoughts: Watch Consumers Don't Really Care Who Invented Things First https://www.ablogtowatch.com/ariels-thoughts-watch-consumers-dont-really-care-who-invented-things-first/ 15:34 Perezcope Review Of Rolex Submariner Book. https://perezcope.com/2024/09/30/review-of-the-authorized-rolex-submariner-book-and-why-the-1926-oyster-was-not-the-first-waterproof-watch/ 21:49 Mod Your Casio F91W https://www.crowdsupply.com/oddly-specific-objects/sensor-watch-pro 26:21 Sinn 903 St II Aviation Chronograph With Slide Rule Bezel https://www.ablogtowatch.com/watch-review-sinn-903-st-ii-aviation-chronograph-with-slide-rule-bezel/ 31:42 Hublot Spirit Of Big Bang Tourbillon Sorai Watch https://www.ablogtowatch.com/new-release-hublot-spirit-of-big-bang-tourbillon-sorai-watch/ 38:23 Guess The Price Of The Seiko Seiko Presage Cocktail Time STAR BAR Limited-Edition SRPK93 and SRE015 Watches https://www.ablogtowatch.com/new-release-seiko-presage-cocktail-time-star-bar-limited-edition-srpk93-and-sre015-watches/ 45:00 Hit, Miss, Maybe 49:20 Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Watches https://www.ablogtowatch.com/new-release-jaeger-lecoultre-reverso-tribute-watches/ 1:02:00 Omega Seamaster Regatta America's Cup Watch https://www.ablogtowatch.com/new-release-omega-seamaster-regatta-americas-cup-watch/ 1:11:00 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT Large Date Watch In Forged Carbon https://www.ablogtowatch.com/new-release-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-concept-split-seconds-chronograph-gmt-large-date-watch-in-forged-carbon/ Check out ABTW on YouTube to catch up on the latest episodes of ABTWW, Hit, Miss, Maybe, video reviews, and more.
