    One of the best episodes ever!! This dude was cool. Not just because of his modest collection, but they’re all him. No “must haves” that feel out of place. Definitely better than a Mayer video. Love it.

      I am a fan of Tim Mosso but the talking watches episodes are definitely not better than Hodinkee’s. Not Tim’s fault - hes great, but the guests aren’t as interesting.

    A recommendation: Tim should do a wrist check at the start of every episode. I’m always wondering what he is wearing but can never seem to get a clear shot

      During this interview, Azimuth Mr. Roboto Bronzo Artist's Edition. I mostly skip wrist checks because it's a showcase of my guest.

    I would love to see more close up footage of the watches during these collector discussion and less of the body shots. As interesting as all your guests are, they aren't Brad Pitt, so their watches should get a bit more screen time.

      We've featured many watches at this price point, but we don't usually see them in isolation. Lots of micro brands have appeared in this show, but there's usually more expensive timepieces alongside.

      A collector with the same brand names and same models and jumps on every trend, brings nothing new to the discussion. Its WAAAAAY more interesting to listen to someone that doesn't just buy what the "experts" say are cool, but looks at many differing styles and manufacturers, and makes his/her own mind up.

      Sounds like you must be the most organized and thoughtful watch collector in the world. Maybe you should be on with Tim to teach us all what real watch collecting is about. Personally, I respect someone for putting themselves out there and showing us watches that they bought because they liked them, not because they thought other people would like them. You have some non descript name can hide in anonymity and critique other people.
