This week on the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, the venerable Rick, Ariel, and David are back with a full agenda! The team starts off by spending over 12 minutes discussing how Rolex bungled its first titanium production watch, then segues into discussing two other watch materials, bronze and alumin(i)um. The guys then discuss Omega’s cryptic announcement on Instagram, suggesting that whatever it is, it will likely be disappointing and too expensive. Moving along, the staggering number of Seiko releases last year, more musings on Brick Watch Company, and Panerai responds to last week’s ABTW Weekly episode. Plus, Ariel and David express admiration for an unexpected brand! Listen below or on the player of your choice.
