Talking Watches: With John Mayer
Well, you asked for it. You got it. Today we are proud to launch an entirely new HODINKEE original video series. We're loosely calling it "Talking Watches," and these videos are just that: us, talking watches with our friends, new and old. Basically, we will use these monthly – yes, you'll get a new episode each month from here until eternity – videos to give you insight into the minds of watch collectors you might not come across in your daily life.

This watch, the Breguet Classique Chronométrie 7727 answers this question – and resolutely. Breguet is here to play, and produce absolutely fascinating watches today. Let's get into what I mean.

Good idea? Bad idea?
So...I currently have a BLNR and a larger type explorer 2 polar and my 40th birthday is fast approaching and as a result I'm going to have the makeweight funds to exchange my existing watches for a BLRO or a smurf in white gold...Alternatively I could keep my Batman and explorer....and have ��7500-8000 to spend on another watch, possibly a sub date or a vintage Pepsi thoughts?If I do part ex my existing watches for a WG sub or WG GMT then it will become my daily wearer!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Usually it is the begging of a Rolex story, but I saw it in real life just today, when I was in Rolex to remove the diver link from my SD43, and you know the rest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
