Whiskey&Watches

In this episode, we hear what Spence was able to record on his trip to Vail with Oris! There is a candid conversation with Oris CEO Rolf Studer, talking about brand heritage, new releases, and what some of his favorite Oris models of past and present are. Next, we sit down with our first listener @motorjon68 to talk about the new releases we have seen so far this year from Oris. We also touch on w...

We did it! Something none of us had ever imagined might actually happen has happened. To celebrate, we had to have our close friend and first listener, @motorjon68 on the show to talk watches, do #FreshForumFinds, and have a great time! Thank you for sticking with us for 100, here's to the next 100!

We have nearly made it to 100 episodes and 2 years! This one is a fitting 99th episode as prodigal host Spangler has returned, and with a BIG NWA. We talk through how his collection has evolved and what is now filling this Space!

Spence and Buzz gather once again without Spangler (who does factor into this episode) to talk about Buzz's new watch addition! There are also several Fresh Forum Finds that hit close to home, some discussion of insanley priced Omega's, and some very nicely sized Orii. We also talk about the directions our collective collections might head in the next year, and we preview some exciting t...

What a year 2021 has been. In this first episode of 2022, Spence and Buzz walk down memory lane to revisit some of the fun conversations we have had with new friends over the past 12 months. What a year it has been, but here's to making 2022 even better!

In this episode we discuss how the holiday season is ripe for potential for "stepping in it" as it were with your non-wis significant other. From projecting our interests onto them, to wanting to spark a desire that might not be there, we talk about why it might be best to REALLY think hard about a watch for someone this time of year.

This week, the guys are back together to talk about new watches! Some were unexpected models that were discontinued last year, others are fun takes on a more traditional style.  We hit the usual bits with a Fresh Forum Find, but also give you some College Football Chat given how intertwined the schools we all support/attend are at the moment. Please excuse our digression.

We are thankful to have all three of the amigos back to host the episode on the week of Thanksgiving. We touch on a few items in the watch world we are thankful for and keep it pretty brief. We are thankful we each have a Fresh Forum Find, thankful for each of our 14 listeners, and hoping that everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! Cheers!

Our friend from north of the border returns! Spence and Buzz sit down with RJ to talk about a lot of things going on this month.  First, RJ was able to attend the GS9 symposium in New York. He fills us in on the event, including on the panel he participated in. Grand Seiko pulled out all the stops on this one, and from the conversation we had with RJ, it is definitely something to check out in the...

Spence and Buzzy are super excited for this one. We had the opportunity to catch up with Josh Shanks (fellow Hoosier, for those keeping track of where Spence is from) of Watchonista! It is not everyday you meet someone who has followed their passion to the degree that Josh has. We talk about the passion project that was being the first US based employee for Watchonista, and getting the operation s...

Recording on the day after Halloween, we decided to take on an interesting topic. What watches are the unwanted pieces of candy that should get more love. Is there a watch equivalent of the Mr. Goodbar, an excellent chocolate and peanut candy bar that is often passed over for the more popular Snickers, Reese's Peanut Butter cup (or even better the pumpkins!), or Butterfingers. This week is ev...

I am not going to give anything away here. I am looking forward to listening to this one too!

Spence and Buzz catch up with Wes and for the first time Cullen from Nodus Watches. These two have had a busy year, with several product re-launches. Their plans for the end of the year and 2022 are even bigger. We talk about the various models in the Sector family that will continue to drop later this year, their upcoming Avalon II with a NEW CLASP, and what they might consider releasing in 2022....

In this week's episode, the guys talk loosely about the watches of James Bond, what an ideal watch for the superspy would be, and how long it has been since the No Time To Die Omega debuted compared to the movie it stars in. This is a fun topic that we haven't covered yet, mainly because the watch came out before we started this podcast, and the movie didn't come out until this week...

This episode is a bit self explanatory and a bit like last week's episode with one major difference: It is our 1 year Anniversary of Brodinkee's podcast debut! To celebrate we decided to riff off one of our favorite Family Guy episodes and do a little segment about what has been grinding our gears as of late. It ranges from odd lug widths, less than stellar lume, to watch collecting as a...

On this week's episode, Spence and Buzz reflect on opinions that have evolved or changed since we have been in the watch collecting hobby. Tastes change, opinions change, and people change. Watch collecting, for the two of us anyway, is no different. Whether it is a comment made on a group chat, opinions on watches in our collections that we never thought would be there, or at least wouldnt b...

In this episode, the gang is all back (as you can probably tell from the intro music!) and we discuss a few things. First, we get back to our usual tropes with wrist/drink check and fresh forum finds. We also review some of the listener suggestions for Spence's newest addition (we made it to 10 listeners!). The topic du jour, however, is picking one watch LINE to wear exclusively from. There...

This episode is a bit of a misnomer, but it fits the discussion Spence and Buzz have. Spence and his wife are expecting a third little boy at the end of October. As many know, he has a watch for each of his two sons (stainless steel, released in the year of their birth). So this draft episode (which coincides with a fantasy football draft) is to help Spence analyze his next pick. Buzz does an exce...

This week Spence sits down with friend of the podcast and longtime listener @ryanwearswatches to talk watch collecting, the strange ways this hobby has turned since he got into it, and just general nonsense. He might be the only member of both the Carolina Watch Club and the Boston Watch Shots. He is a traveling man who also is celebrating a new watch addition. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this leng...

In this weeks episode, Spence and Buzz catch up after Buzz's absence last week. We chat about what watch he identifies most with (hint, its not in his collection, and it might not even be one watch...). We also have the usual pleasantries, a few off the wall Fresh Forum Finds, and a bit of a Spence Soliloquy at the end. 

In this episode it is just the OGs, Spence and Spangler. We exchange our usual pleasantries, including a fresh forum find, and then get a bit more personal. We each discuss which what (either in our collection, or decidedly not in one case) we identify with. A watch to personify each of us. Now, we took two different paths, Spangler looking at all aspects of his life to find the perfect watch for...

In this week's episode, friend of the show, and Fratello contributor, Mike Stockton returns! Each of us, including our guest, brings in a FreshForumFind with so many asides you might think it is an hour long episode of Family Guy... We do finally get into our main topic, our favorite (or best) odd ball case materials. There are fun discussions on various types of metals, materials, and maybe...

In this week's episode, Spence and Buzz (both dads) discuss watches for dads. There is a trend you will see developing as we tackle several different price points. We also briefly touch on what we think is a low key ultimate mom watch (based on some personal experience). We also hit a Fresh Forum Find as well.

In this week's episode Spence and Spangler have new watch alerts! We all have Fresh Forum Finds, and we discuss what our preferences are for summer straps. There are definitely some shenanigans, possibly some hijinks, and definitely excellent banter.

On this week's episode the gang sits down with Bryant, aka the bearded southern gentleman on instagram. Bryant is a collector and member of the Carolina Watch Club and host of Triple T. The group talks about Bryant's collection, how he got started in watches, and about his affiliation with the Carolina Watch Club.
