HourTime Show Podcast Episode 4 - Tourbillons, Dos/Don��ts, Holiday Shopping + a Contest!
Episode 4 of the quickly growing HourTime watch chat podcast show is up. This time we talk about why all the fuss with tourbillon watches, dos and don'ts with watch wearing, and the beginning of our holiday watch buying tips.We start out with learning about what tourbillons are, what they do, why they exist, then why they were "forgotten" for years and years and their sudden comeback. Then we get into why wear a watch at all - not the same as checking the time on your cell phone. Wearing a watch on the underside of your wrist is a topic. Next, fake watches, don't get us started!

Well, I'm sending my APs off to Clearwater tomorrow for the 3rd year warranty. While I'll miss them, it'll give my Diver tang buckle time to get here. Besides my Patek 5711/1A and Panerai 233 have been crying for attention lately.

Anyone wear a YG sub as daily?
Tried on the 116618LN at an AD today and it looked so nice. The deep black dial against the YG was an awesome combo.

Would anyone consider trading a SS white SkyD and SD4K or 16710?Anyone out there using a yellow gold sub as a daily?Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
