Episode notes

A couple of European guys from the global fifthwrist-family meet to talk watches - this time not necessarily peaceful ...

While all share the passion for watches, each of them has a sweet spot for a subsection of the world of watches:

Phil (@pippy) loves Seiko,

Benoît (@petitsecondes) runs his own fifthwrist-radio show about vintage watches,

Wolfgang (@w_a_t_c_h_s_t_y_l_e) represents the Vienna citizen with – of course – Rolex on his wrist, while

Claus (@tapir_ffm) is an dyed-in-the-wool ochs und junior fan-boy …

Each of the gang will defend his thesis … and the others will – as eloquent as merciless – give him a hard time!

Let the carnage begin …
