    It's Friday, it's Podcast day!

    After a two week break, I am very pleased to bring you Episode 15 of the Time 4A Pint podcast.

    This week we sat down with Mike Stockton, from Fratello watches, to talk about being a (part time) watch journalist, and a full time watch nerd.

    Mike has a enviable collection of interesting watches, but to keep things under control we made him choose 7 to bring along - a 1980 Rolex GMT Master Root Beer a.k.a "The Clint Eastwood" (although we think "Miami Vice" would be a better nickname!), a Grand Seiko SBGW047, a Gallet Multichron 12, a Breitling 765 Co-Pilot, an Enicar Sherpa Graph Mk1b, a 1965 Seiko 62Mas 6127, and a Heuer Camaro.

    If you're interested in the BCatt Watchstraps that Mike has fitted to his Breitling 765 Co-Pilot, and Enicar Sherpa Graph Mk1B, and would like to see more of Ben's work, or find out how to order, you can check out his Instagram Page.

    Listen Now!

    As always, thoughts, feedback, comments all appreciated.

    Thanks chaps - I really don't understand what's going on in the thread over there... they've answering their own question... I don't post often there because of the aggressive, bullying behaviour that seems to go unchecked.

    Have walked away, heading out for a swim to clear my head.

    It's long... but a true representation of what happens when watch nerds get together... have beer, and nowhere to go. :whistling:

    Enjoy the swim and the eavesdropping of City workers conversations ;-) Do check for sharks or piranhas in the water , seems to be a day that things are wanting to bite you for no good reason.

    Thanks Steve - only the one on my wrist... Mike has so much cool stuff... the Enicar, the Breitling, and the GMT would be my picks from this selection of goodies. :)

    Well we've got Omega Ranchero too and Heuer also had the Cortina to balance things out on the Ford side :)
