911 Market Update; Best Watches under $1K/Sporty Cars under $30K (USD)

Our 34th episode finds our best recommendations for watches under USD 1K.  No surprise, David exploded the budget so Matt comes with a couple of sub-$500 gems!  They also provide thoughts and recommendations on their best "sporty" car under USD 30K; this prompts the discussion around buying as much as possible in a new car vs. a pre-owned car of greater prestige.  
Coming off the news and stories of the white collection sales, we review a recent JayEmmOnCars (YouTube) video where Jay dives into the 911 market of late.  Has the bubble burst and are we finally seeing prices normalize?  We get into it at the top of the episode.
Enjoy!

Eisode 33 Redux - The White Collection sets records & Breitling jumps the shark

Well fam, the guys had to record a new episode as the original with a guest didn't work out!  Whatever...on with the show!
Matt and David walk through the recent sale of (most of) the White Collection - a curated cache of Porsches, most with delivery milage (read: none), in factory shades of white.  Four records were set for specific cars and there are numerous other outliers.  The guys talk about their thoughts on the prices and what these cars might mean for the new owners if they wish to drive them.
Then, David presents a new Tourbilion from Breitling that is also a collab....wait, what???  The guys offer an uncandid opinion of this and where this watch fits...or better yet, what they would have done differently that could have helped make it a winner.
Enjoy!

Sandeep returns...with new watch!! Jaeger-LeCoultre Chrono24 challenge; Porsche drops the new Panamera; ’Superwagons’ are in danger!

Episode 32!! Can you believe it?  We sure can't!!
David and Matt are joined by their first repeat guest, and friend of the show, Sandeep Parmar.  He's just returned from a trip to Paris and is eager to highlight his adventure and process of finding a new timepiece to mark the trip.
Appropriate that they discuss the new Panamera, and how Porsche has opted to discontinue the Sport Turismo config in the Panamera line-up.  RIP Porsche Superwagon of old! Only the EV Taycan Sport Turismo remains, marking the end of a short window where Porsche was contending with the RS6 and E63 grocery-getters.
The guys all jump into a Chrono24 challenge to find what they would each pick if faced with acquiring a Jager-LeCoultre (JLC) today.  Spoiler: David cheated and just went to JLC's site...but we all win and the points are moot.
Rounding out the show, additional topics get hit including Rolex threatening to discontinue the 'Pepsi' GMT due to manufacturing issues, Travis Scott's collab with Audemars Piguet and The Grand Tour announced their set to conclude the series.
Enjoy!

Porsche Turbonite - WFT; Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso profile; Las Vegas GP

In episode 31, David and Matt kick off with a thank you to the previous guest (Bryan Larsen) for their time and for getting them to do intros again!
Matt looks at Porsche's recent introduction of a new colourway to the Porsche crest that will adorn Turbo models, leaving some to believe it was a slow news week.
David gives a profile of the JLC Reverso, including the history and individualization that owners have done to some pieces, prompting the next episode's Chrono24 challenge.
It's a sober, pre-race conversation about the Las Vegas Grand Prix and what Matt and David think we can expect from the first F1 race there in 40 years.
Enjoy!

From Go-Bots to Seamasters - Guest Byran Larsen in studio (uncut)

Finally!  We have a loyal listener and contributor, Bryan Larsen joining Matt and David in the studio for an extraordinary 30th episode of 0to60radio.
We start with walking through Bryan's sorted watch and Porsche history, hitting all the major turning points.  From his first toy watch to the first automatic, we get a great story about how his love for watches started and where it's brought him today.
This led to his passion for cars, where it started and his ambition to experience the diversity in the Porsche lineup; particularly the 911 range of cars.  
Through a few pints and a bottle of vino, the three each focus on what Porsche they would choose if they could only have one.  The same question is proposed for watches, leading through a vast and storied discussion.
Pour one out and enjoy a watches and cars discussion with these three as they navigate through this extended episode.  

Zagato does Lancia and Alfa Romeo right; Zenith drops a new Chronosport collab; Matthew Perry’s Cars (RIP)

We find our friends, Matt and David, on a casual Sunday evening while they catch up and harken back to a previous episode to profile a couple of exceptional cars that have been given treatment by Zagato.
First, a 1963 Lancia Flaminia 2.8 3C.  A lovely Italian GT from an analog era that we're still grasping onto.  Then, a one-off Alfa Rome Giulia SWB Quadrifoglio, built for a German collector last year (2022).
Gears shift to watches (no pun intended...)as a new Chronosport from Zenith, in collaboration with Aaron Rogers, reminds the guys that this is the ideal substitute for a Rolex Daytona.
David profiles a new release (well....a re-release, if you will) from Tag Heuer as they bring back the Monza Flyback.  With a similar design language that we've seen on the Monaco line, this modernization of a classic Chrono is sure to catch eyes on and off the circuit.  
In honour of Matthew Perry, Matt shines a light on his love for cars and shares some of the pieces in his collection as of when he passed.  
All this and more rambling about F1, Porsche and some other stuff these guys think you want to hear...
Enjoy!

New Watch Alert; A Maserati we DO like; Rolex Sky Rocket; History of Zagato; Matt is high

Another packed episode this week as Matt and David dive into some core topics.
Starting a prototype custom Seiko Royal Oak mod from Alpine Mods with a 0to60 dial that arrived this week; spoiler... it looks damn good!!  Then, a piece of Canadiana (is that thing??) history by....Rolex??  Yeah, really!  The Rolex Sky Rocket made IN CANADA for Canadian pilots gets the spotlight for a moment. 
Then, Matt and David profile the Maserati MC20 in all its glory.  These guys have to walk back some previous comments about the milquetoast interior and lack of "fizz" from the Italian marque, as this car slaps the soul!  So does the configurator online!!
David walks through some of the results of the Monaco Legends Fall Auction, with some real BIG buys and some that appropriately set the market for highly coveted pieces; especially from Rolex.  This leads down a conversation, sparked by a cannabis-steeped Matt, about what attracted David to watches and does peripheral endorsement of watches by people of influence draw him to specific brands.
Finally, a brief history lesson on Zagato; an Italian coachbuilder that has been making bespoke automotive bodies for Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, and more....for over 100 years. 
All this, and then some....we hope you enjoy!!
 
 

BMW M5 Comp 6-sp Manual; Best/Worst Watch Collabs; Monaco Legend Group’s Fall Auction; AP’s Ultra Complication is ”Steam Punk Chic”

The boys start and end with a lot of watch talk this week, as they get deep into the Monaco Legend Group's Fall Auction showcasing some fantastic vintage watches - including a fist full of Paul Newman Rolex Daytonas....yeah, again!!
They also profile a spectacularly spec'd F10 BWM M5 Competition, sporting a 6-speed Manual making this not only rare but also the one-to-have for longevity and driving pleasure.
Matt and David each call out the best and worst watch collabs - ahem....AP x Marvel *eyeroll*, and Matt profiles a solid chronograph alternative to a Daytona that flies below the radar.
Enjoy!!

The White Collection going to auction; Rolex Daytona Le Mans resale is stratospheric; Certina DS Action Diver is the ”Substitute Submariner” we all need; Matt Drives the GTS 4.0

Back on track and starting with Matt's full driving impressions of David's GTS 4.0 Cayman, appropriately dubbed: The 'GT4 Touring'.  
David exposes the stratospheric rise in the resale value of another Rolex; this time the limited Daytona Le Mans that dropped in June...seriously, there is a ~600% + increase over MSRP!
The boys take in the last Euro Cars & Coffee of the calendar year at Oak Bay Marina, finally taking a detour from all the damn Porsche talk!  Don't worry, they find other cars to drool over and pick on.
Finally, they look at two more watches - a "new" drop by Tag Heuer in a limited edition Carrera....err...kinda; and a recommendation from our previous guest to showcase a value diver from Certina - the DS Action Diver that hits hard!!
Enjoy!

25th Episode - Looking back! 911S/T Lease only; Tissot, Hamilton and Bulova - Alternatives to Unobtanium watches

WOW!  Who would have thought these guys would stick to recording for 25 episodes??  Well, it happened...so join David and Matt as they look back on the first 24 eps.
They start with random chats about where they've started and come from in the last several months.  Followed quickly with some more Porsche talk; including the 911 S/T being only available for lease and Matt's initial impressions of Hirji's 718 GTS.
Then, they try out a new segment focusing on quality alternatives to higher-end (or impossible) watches to acquire.  Starting with the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80, a couple of gems from Hamilton, and a winning quartz watch from Bulova with a lesser-known Space Travel history.
They cover a lot in this one!  Enjoy!
