Episode 12: Masterchef winner Diana Chan on Rolex Datejusts, delicious dumplings and dive watches

A lot is happening in today’s episode of OT: and all of it is great. First up, we have Diana Chan, winner of Masterchef 2017 in the studio, talking about food, watches, what Patek she’s got her eyes on. But we also get her to help out with a particularly tricky watch matchmaker, courtesy of Brian. You see Brian wants a smaller, white dialled watch that can do it all. And by golly Felix and Andy deliver on that brief.

Episode 11: Mission (im)possible? Taking down the mighty Submariner one watch at a time.

Dan is a watch fan who has it all. And by all we mean not one, but two Rolex Submariners: a birth year and a solid yellow gold number. So what’s the problem? Well, he still loves watches but has nothing at the moment that can compete for wrist time with his Subs. This is where Felix and Andy come in, with six brand-new options that can rival the mighty Submariner. Expect Omega, Breitling, Jeager-LeCoultre, Cartier and more.

Episode 9: The Grey NATO and Hodinkee’s James Stacey and Jason Heaton on watches, gear and more!

Andy and Felix get on the phone to James Stacey and Jason Heaton, hosts of The Grey NATO podcast. And, after they calm down and stop fanboying over them, they dive into a wide-ranging discussion of watches, cars, gear and changing philosophical approach to watch ownership and purchasing (it got real folks).

So, from what it's like to sit in a $15 million McLaren, to the ideal adventure watch and James' genius watch photography clothing hacks (honestly, this blew Andy's Lecia-loving mind) this is one episode you do not want to miss.

On top of that, we get the guys' takes on the most overlooked aspects of an adventure watch, as well as what it's *really* like to work at Hodinkee.

Enrique is learning to fly. So it’s our mission to find him a watch to mark this milestone. Andy and Felix suit up, unpack the Right Stuff and bust out some – occasionally odd – pilot’s watches. Breitling and Rolex make sense. But Bulgari? And that’s weird, super expensive Seiko. Odd flex but OK.

Episode 6: Talking tailoring, rules and when to break them with Patrick Johnson

We speak to Patrick Johnson, the man behind the eponymous (and cool) P Johnson Tailors about the Australian take on fine tailoring, creating a global sense of style and why rules about clothes (and watches) aren’t always the best idea. And then there’s yellow gold Aquanauts and why the Italians have the best taste in watches.

Episode 5: Into the woods with six ‘true’ GMTs

Brad lives on a horse farm in the woods of rural England. Honestly, this is all he needed to say to get Andy and Felix onboard. The fact that he also wants a 'true' GMT for 4000 GBP or less is the cherry on the cake. Turns out great options, including Grand Seiko, Bremont and Omega abound. Plus the perfect cup of coffee.
