Hey, everyone! This week Mike and I thought we’d do something a bit different and special for all of you. This week’s show is actually two shows in the form of our sister-show the TBWS Patreon Special. That’s about 2 hours of podcast content on two very different topics. The two episodes are linked below so be sure to scroll down and check them out (the titles are the links)!
TBWS Patreon Special Ep. #3: Listener Q&A!
This episode is the first in our new Patreon podcast segment. You guys sent in your questions and we’re going to be answering them on air. Everyone from what’s in our watch boxes (that never see the light of day) and the seldom noted mating practices of the horologically inclined. List of all the questions we answered are below with shoutouts!
1. @gtsderek: What is in each of your watch boxes? Good, bad, embarrassing?? We hear the ones you guys typically wear, but what about the ones you don’t wear? I have about 20 watches, but only about 9 that make it in rotation.
2. @jwkwatches: “I’d like to hear what’s on the TBWS watch bucket list! Like what would you guys like to do in the horological world? Or what watch experience have you yet to have that you’d like to?
3. @suburban_diver: “To wear a Watch during sex? Yes, why would you take it off? Or no, you look like a porn star wearing one?”
4. @frednicolaus: “What’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever timed with a chronograph?”
5. @mattwright_esq: “You were looking for a dress watch awhile back and I know you were contemplating the Tissot Visodate (great watch!). This kinda surprised me because I know in the past you’ve felt a bit against the idea of a stand alone “dress watch”. I recently bought the Orient Bambino Generation 2 Version 1 and love the value for the price. Did you find a “dress watch”? If so, what did you end up going with?”
TBWS Patreon Special #4: Space Watches You’ll Never Own
For whatever reason, be it scarcity or aliens (I’m looking at you Tom DeLonge), there are some watches that most people will just never own. In this Patreon special Mike and I tackle two space watches with two incredible stories and two completely different reasons why they’ll most likely never be in a collection: The Gagarin 15 Sturmanskie and Buzz Aldrin’s Missing Apollo 11 Omega Speedmaster.

Obviously the biggest result of all our Patreon support and contributions has been Mike and I coordinating our trip to Hong Kong in order to cover our perspective on the Hong Kong Watch and Clock Fair (plus you’ll get first hand perspective on our general traveling adventures over there – gonna be crazy 0_o). If we’ve entertained you, made you laugh, and/or made your Monday’s/work week just a little bit more enjoyable then please consider supporting our show through the Patreon page. If you have any questions about that please feel free to reach out directly at [email protected] or by replying in the comments below. Also totally let us know your thoughts on the Patreon Specials – they were so much fun to put together!
Answer to the dumbest thing I’ve timed on my chrono; how fast i could run to the bathroom after lunch.
Hi guys,
great stuff! I did time “intercourse” once with my Speedy…but I do take watches off, before it happens 😉
Cheers from Germany,
