    Man, that's a great collection! The second picture is basically my Holy Trinity of watches. That big blue looks gorgeous! Can't wait to check out the episode. Actually, I think I'll do so now.

    Thank you kind sir! :)

    Recording episode 7 tomorrow with a lady who doesn't collect watches, but does have 3 Chopards... which are only awarded to competitors in the Mille Miglia... thought she might be fun :)

    Another stellar episode Chris. Love the 70s Omega divers. I hope to see these one day and try them on because lord knows I'll never be able to afford (or find) one! Keep up the great work you're doing. It really makes my week and truth be told, I usually wait as long as possible to listen because I don't want to have to wait too long until the next one! Nice job @LiquidSolid. Looking foteard to the next guest and interview!

    Evening all,

    As I have free time, I'm working back through all the older podcasts, to bring the audio up to the current (broadcast) standard - this evening @LiquidSolid episode got some attention.

    For those who've not heard it before, or those who have and wished they didn't have to crank it up so load to hear what we were talking about, this is for you. :thumbsup:

    Currently working on the edit of #49, which is all about @simonsays's weird and wonderful professional dive watches, that aren't made by Omega.

    Well worth giving this episode a re-listen for some context. :)
