Thank you so much for the wonderful entertainment and show. I am an actor, Barry Ratcliffe, I guest starred on marvels Hawkeye, and I have been collecting for about six years, and I am so thankful for people like you in this world that are open to sharing and providing such beautiful information about the art of watches. Thank you again so much for lending your expertise and passion for horology

Enjoyed this Collector Conversation -- and I usually don't enjoy them. Great work Josh and Brian.

Great conversation. Thank you for mentioning how difficult it is to let pieces go, because you may never be able to acquire them again. The internal struggle is real.

This is one of the most pleasant and on point discussions I’ve seen.

This was so enjoyable to watch! So true about the heft of precious metals with Rolex! I absolutely love these series! More, please!!!

[phildupuis]

Great episode. I will likely never be able to own any of these gems but I thoroughly enjoy watching knowledgeable and articulate enthusiasts discussing their collections.

Cartier Roadster is timeless . A versatile timepiece with very nice looks !

[dannysimenauer]

Enjoyed the conversation on the pros and cons of the different brands.

[rain]

Thanks, guys, for showing your collection

[johnclark]

I definitely second the opinion about LF. That's one brand I don't want to become the next hype piece

[juanvacca]

Great conversation. I am 43 and just started learning and collecting. Thanks for the video !!

[AFK-x]

A conversation about collecting from three people whose different life experiences inform their tastes is good.

That they are friends who are comfortable enough to riff, agree, and agree to disagree is even better!

Give us more of these conversations!

[gregorystokes]

He mentioned his Seiko turtle twice but they just kept over looking it. Lol I love the watch I was waiting for them to talk about it…

[ajmaximus]
