    Episode #9 - What's In The Collection Part 2

    In this episode Ranch Racer and Perpetual Girl give a second glimpse into their personal collections. Mostly Seikos from PG, while RR goes completely off the range again with no rhyme or reason to his four pieces. They also talk a bit about Swatch pulling out of Baselworld 2019, what it means to the industry and the media, and whether or not they really care one way or the other. They give some shout outs to a listener and his wife having their very first baby, in the hospital RR was born in no less, and they have a fun story about a very unique watch that recently made it into space.

  2. Episode 7 - Welcome To Watch Class 101

    Episode 7 - Welcome To Watch Class 101

    This week’s show kicks off with a HUGE apology to our listeners who’ve been asking about episode 7. Our goal is always to release a new episode every other Tuesday night. Unfortunately due to a crazy work schedule for Ranch Racer, along with workers pounding around, hammering and nailing a new roof into place on the house, it just wasn’t in the cards this time around so we’re a few days late. Going forward we’ll try our best to get these episodes out on time every time. Get out there and rate and review us folks! Take a couple of minutes to tell us what you think with a quick iTunes review. It’ll help grow the show and help us tailor future content for you. Remember, we’re not in this for the money! We’ve invested our own funds to bring you a show that we hope you’ll enjoy, simply out of our love for the hobby. Help us out by letting us know what you think. On the wrist today Perpetual Girl is wearing her funky vintage Seiko she just picked up on eBay and Ranch Racer is sporting his Seiko Presage SRPB43 (a recent gift from PG) on a new blue leather strap. Today’s topic is around educating our listeners on the basics of watch collecting. What information should you be armed with if you’re intent on entering this crazy hobby? What about more advanced topics? And how about all of that terminology the big blogs use that sounds more like a foreign language than anything having to do with a watch? We’re here to help. We’ll cover all kinds of fun watch related stuff in this extended episode. We just hope you don’t get bored to death listening to Ranch Racer geek out on all things watches!

  3. Episode #5 - Fun in Vegas!

    Episode #5 - Fun in Vegas!

    It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt! Actually, nobody got hurt in our Vegas adventure to COUTUREtime 2018, and we met with some great brands. We also had some fun shopping on our “day off”, and might have bought a couple of new pieces that you’ll hear about in the wrist check. During said wrist checks there may be some brand boutique bashing. Well, not bashing per se, but most definitely an important lesson to be learned. In this case the brand boutique lost out and the multi-brand Vegas retailer won. In this first show covering COUTUREtime we discuss Philip Stein and Oris. Philip Stein we knew next to nothing about prior to the show, but learned some cool things and were actually pretty impressed with their offerings. Oris, on the other hand, we knew a TON about and were certainly not disappointed seeing their new offerings in the metal. Hope you enjoy the show!

  4. Episode #2 - Quartz vs. Mechanical: Are women getting a raw deal?

    Episode #2 - Quartz vs. Mechanical: Are women getting a raw deal?

    Ranch Racer and Perpetual Girl kick off Episode #2 with PG talking about the fact that she feels the need to clean off the ranch manure, take a shower, and make herself “presentable” while recording a Podcast. Double R is TOTALLY cool with that! Remember, a shower a week whether you need it or not. ;-) Then the duo jump into the wrist checks. First up we have PG who started the day out with one of her Citizen solar powered watches, but then switched to her Omega Speedmaster 38 to, believe it or not, time her livestock! Double R is sporting his Seiko SRP779 Pepsi bezel “Turtle” that PG got him for his birthday. He loves the watch and its lume so much that it ended up being his go-to watch for bedtime. On to the topic at hand. PG kicks things off by discussing how she feels that in many cases today, women get less value for their dollar in the watch market. The issue possibly stems from the fact that there are fewer women watch wearers who know, or frankly care, what’s inside the watch. Double R then gives a very high level overview of the difference between mechanical and quartz watches. The pair hit on the “Quartz Crisis” of the 70s and 80s, and then the rebirth of the mechanical watch industry. Quartz movements tend to be cheaper plastic affairs, while even the most basic mechanical movement is a thing of beauty in comparison. Quartz has accuracy and minimal servicing needs going for it though. The meat of the discussion focuses on the industry’s lack of affordable mechanical watches for women. A $4,000 stainless steel Cartier is pretty ridiculous. Where’s the value? Meanwhile brands like Oris, Tudor, and Breitling seem to be getting it and coming out with affordable, smaller mechanical offerings that most certainly will appeal to serious female collectors.
