In this episode we discussed watches that have been Frankensteined. Meaning modified to such an extent that they are don't look like the original piece it started out to be. Should you buy these or not, or the better questions would be, would you do this to your watch?

Alex and I went back to the 80's on this episode. From Swatch watches to the Piaget Polo 79 to all Gold Watches that made the 80's what they were. @the_watch_aficionado @thecollector0608 The Watch Aficionado thewatchaficionado.com

We had to chose our 3 watch collection and had a budget of $15,000. While that sounds like a lot of money, and it is, it was not easy choosing 3 pieces to fit that criteria but we did it. Our personal takes on this. As usual, our opinions! Hope you enjoy this one!

We all have a love/hate relationship with many things in life! This episode is dedicated to those watches from brands we hate and the reasons why. As always, its our opinion and we give 3 different perspectives! The Watch Aficionado Podcast @the_watch_aficionado @jonhochman @thecollector0608

We discussed a lot about nothing on this one. Al always, watches, booz and other things too!

On this episode, we discussed and drank our way through the @Omega Summer Collection! As always, for any watch needs, you can visit our site at: https://thewatchaficionado.com/ https://www.omegawatches.com/ @the_watch_aficionado @jonhochman @thecollector0608

The questions is to service your watch or not? This has been a hot topic for a long time as manufacturers like to change dials, dials and polish your watch too much. Here are 3 opinions on whether to service or not. www.thewatchaficionado.com @the_watch_aficionado @thecollector0608 @jonhochman

On this episode we give some love to lesser know brands no one is peaking about. Superb manufacturing, in limited numbers and quantities but the quality is exceptional. As always, the conversation goes sideways, but hey, that's what makes us different! @jonhochman @thecollector0608 @the_watch_aficionado www.thewatchaficionado.com

Our predictions for this year were so many but we had to narrow it down to a few.  Rolex, Omega, Cartier and so many more!

Recapping this amazing year 2022 with the watch brands you love!

As usual, the conversation takes a turn and we discuss many things! You can find the best luxury timepieces at thewatchaficionado.com.
