Morning All!

We sound like a couple of over excited school boys... which is basically what we are.

I love it when you click on the related podcasts, and you get the following:
- The Radio 4 Quiz (highbrow radio station in the U.K.)
- Dude Soup (no idea, but explicit content 😁)
- Gardeners Question Time
- Game Scoop!

Aren't matching algorithms wonderful things. 😵‍💫😎

That's an excellent episode.
It's far too short, I could listen this kind of discussion for hours without getting bored.
As a non native english speaker I was afraid to be lost due to hot-stone-in-the-mouth accent. But it's plain clear and I love it.
Already looking forward the next episode.

Another good episode!

For me it would have been more entertaining if the episode was more watch related. I'm not that into the other things mr Francis collected. But obviously that's personal preference. And the Omega only got 2 minutes of air time 🙁

But apart from that, I liked it, keep it up!

I'll also fall back on the old adage of "You can't please all of the people, all of the time".

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it, and that we were understandable!

I shall try not to disappoint 😁

Oh wait, Neil's grotesque tentative to imitate french accent was not understandable 😜

Firstly, well done for making this series, but for me, this episode had too little watch content and too much other stuff. It doesn't have to be about Omega watches but I want to hear about watches not pipes and other things.I think there was less than 6 minutes content about watches.

I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, I have really enjoyed your podcasts thus far and I even appreciate that it is just as much about the collectors as it is the watches but the non watch stuff is just not intetesting. (I know, only one person's opinion and you can't please everyone.) Keep up the good work.

Well, very little watch content and a lot about collecting, in other words: about the conditio sine qua non to what most here do when spending fortunes on tiny mechanical things. excellent again.

And I must add: a lizard and a freak in one room, who would have thought they'd do something so smart and entertaining 😀

Thanks to both.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! 👍

A little off piste to what the other episodes have been.

I had a lot of fun recording, and editing it... the feedback I've had from various places seems to be 50/50. ☕
