Hirji’s GTS delivery (finally!!); First Guest talks Seiko Mods and Super Wagons; New Tag Monaco

Milestone episode for Matt and David as they have their first guest in studio!!! Sandeep Parmar joins the guys to talk about building Seiko Mods, Hot Euro Wagons, and searching for grail watches on an upcoming European trip.  Also, diving into his automotive journey thus far, and what grail cars and watches he's holding out for.
David takes delivery of the often-talked-about 718 GTS this week and gives his first impressions - spoiler, it's pretty good!  A new Tag Heuer Monaco drops in Titanium with some interesting lume and they all give their take on recent YouTube videos release of the 911 S/T.
It's a full show with a third seat.  Matt's audio is a bit shoddy, but it's still fun.  
Enjoy!

987 Cayman R; NEW Tudor Pelagos FXD Black; 911 Dakar Sells on BaT; IWC Big Pilot AMG G63 Grand Edition; Meteorite Rolex’

In this week's episode, the boys kick off talking about some new show decals that Matt ordered and his thoughts on the Porsche community on Vancouver Island.  This leads to talking about a VIR (Vancouver Island Region) PCA member's 987 Cayman R and why this particular first-gen Cayman is so special.
The love for Tudor continues, as David looks closer at a NEW Pelegos FXD in Black and talks about the history with various militaries.  Then, Matt brings up a 68 mile 911 Dakar that sold on Bring-a-Trailer as a springboard to discuss the bench-setting market for pre-owned Dakar's.
Rounding out the watch talk, the guys profile a new IWC Big Pilot released in conjunction with a new AMG G63, discuss the use of "not-of-this-world" matter in Rolex dials and the direction of a custom Seiko mod for the giveaway.

Tag Heuer Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche; $300K Mustang GTD thoughts; Hirji watches Chris Harris’ Tuthill 911K vidio

Episode 22 opens with some candor and discussion on local beer...or lack thereof.  Matt prompts David and himself to not be so dismissive of the new Mustang GTD being a raw track/road car with GT3-like capabilities.  Then, David walks us through a recent, and we'd say impressive, drop from Tag Heuer as they've created a special movement as an homage to the first Porsche 911 in their new watch - The Carrera Chronosprint x Porsche.  Of course, not before they walk back some previous comments on the Blancpain x Swatch Fifty Fathoms, while also critiquing a major flaw.
Enjoy!!

Tuthill 911K; Blancpain x Swatch speculation; Custom Seiko Giveaway; Hirji’s GTS delivery timing; GPHG Prediction/Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto

Back on schedule....well, kind of.  We find Matt and David on this week's episode talking about a recent Chris Harrs video from Collecting Cars YouTube, reviewing the Tuthull 911K Lightweight.  A classic 911 on an original 1972 chassis with half the weight of a modern 911...and it revs to 11K RPM!!!
Then, they dive into the speculation of what Swatch is about to announce in collaboration with Blancpain and provide their take on it...with a level of candor that Swatch may not appreciate.  However, they switch topics to creating their own custom Seiko Mod in collaboration with Alpine Mods (www.alpinemods.com) and their plan to give one away to a lucky listener.
David walks through the upcoming GPHG (Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève) Awards and profiles his pick for best in class and best in show - the Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto - and, gives us an update on delivery timing for his 718 GTS.
Enjoy!!

The Late Episode: Monterey Car Week; Barn Find Ferraris; Custom Seiko Mod; Rolex Explorer v. Tudor Ranger; New MoonSwatch

A late publish, as the boys get episode 20 out on a Thursday but still a fun show full of content!
Matt recaps some of the barn find Ferraris in the RM Sotheby's auction during Monterey Car Week; including a special piece that isn't even drivable.  They then discuss an opportunity with Alpine Mods (www.alpinemods.com) to create a custom Seiko Mod with the new 0 to 60 radio logo as the dial and perhaps give one to a listener.
David walks through a Hondinkee article on the new MoonSwatch drop and gets Matt to raise his voice before getting into a comparison of the Rolex Explorer 40mm v. the Tudor Ranger 39mm.
Enjoy!!
 

Lucid Air; 997 Road-Trip; Porsche Design 911ST Chrono; 718 Spyder RS

In another episode recorded in person, the boys discuss Matt's trek over the Canadian Rockies to leave his 997 C2 with Hirji for a couple of weeks.  They share their thoughts after visiting the Lucid store in downtown Vancouver on the variants of the Air model and ask the question...." would you buy one?"
David, as promised, walks us through the Porsche Design Chrono (watch) that is baked into the sticker price of the new 911 ST - yes, it's mandatory - and is this really worth the ~$15K value that Porsche puts on it?
They trip through the recent videos and reviews of the 718 Spyder RS as "the best Porsche roadster EVER" and take a look at the late-model Bentley market to judge the value of post-depreciation on a Flying Spur.
Enjoy!!

NEW Live Episode!! Porsche 911 S/T drops hot; New TH Monaco Colours; Hajime Asaoka (Watchmaker Profile); BaT Car Challenge; Mercedes AMG One

Back again, and with a new LIVE episode.  Matt and David are together in the same room once more, making for some fun conversation...and on the same week that Porsche drops the much anticipated 911 S/T!!
The boys take another look at the Tag Heuer Monaco and some new colorways that were quietly released in July.  They also take a closer look at the Mercedes AMG One and discuss its presence among modern hypercars (as if they have a clue!!)
On a previously unreleased episode (ahem....blame Matt for the tech issues), the gauntlet was thrown down for each of the guys to find a car on Bring-a-Trailer that the others would NOT pick for themselves.  There are some fun surprises here, for sure!  David gives a great profile of Hajime Asaoka, a Japanese designer-turned-watchmaker, who provides an impactful blend of precision, craftsmanship, detail, and beauty. 
Lots of content, as usual!  Enjoy!!
 

Tudor Black Bay Ceramic; Vintage v. New Tech in Watches and Cars; G87 M2 v. 718 Cayman GTS; Breitling & Bentley Synergies

We find David and Matt on a sober and sunny Sunday morning, having an agenda-less conversation.
Starting with The (British) Open and Hungarian Grand Prix, they quickly turn back to a proper discussion about a new Tudor Black Bay drop and another waiting list they've added their names to.  This leads to talking about Vintage watches vs. newer tech and movement, how there is space for the full spectrum in a collection and the ties to car collecting...especially with Porsche sports cars.
The latest BMW M2 gets some focus as the guys discuss their opinion on the looks, performance and tech; then compare it to David's soon-to-be-delivered Cayman GTS 4.0.  Finally, they show Bentley and Breitling some love by comparing their hits and misses over the past 20 years.
Enjoy!
