Rikki and David from Scottish Watches sit down with Rob for the first of two crossover episodes a la Murder, She Wrote and Magnum P.I. (but with fewer murders and Rolex GMT-Masters).

To hear the second part of this friendly conjuncture, make sure to tune in to the Scottish Watches podcast this Thursday evening (June 30th). In the meantime, follow Dave (@floatlite) and Rikki (@rikkiwatches) on Instagram, and feel free to message the guys for a deeper dive into their support for brands I certainly wasn’t expecting to be mentioned as their top ones to watch.

Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date (@floatlite)

That’s right, if you too are shocked to hear these two world-renowned watch lovers rank the futures of Montblanc and Horage as rosier than all others, you cannot miss this or the next chat between Fratello and Scottish Watches.

That was good, enjoyed the chat from Rob about the difficulties of audience perception (although it did *almost* get a teeny bit ‘Us vs Them’, but that was natural). I remember wee Rick slagging off that Horage, but big Rick – who’s gone now – liked it I think.

  Cheers, Gav. It’s a tough topic to talk about without it coming across a bit like that, I admit. I think my desire for the whole watch game to just be one big “us” without any concept of “them” is what stokes my frustration. I know I can’t expect everyone to trust me (or any media professional because so many are insincere), but I naively hope for it sometimes. I think you know what I mean, though 🙂

    I do. And Warky put it really well once when we were chatting: “They’re just like us, lads who want to do their best.”

Brilliant!

The lads were either very well behaved or that was very well edited 😂

Looking forward to Magnum episode tomorrow night…..

  ….which was absolutely brilliant.
  
  Irreverent, informative, controversial and hilarious.
  
  Great stuff.

    Thanks, mate. We had a blast recording, and the lads were quite well behaved for episode one, apart from a three-minute segment during which time I had to leave the mic unattended and answer the door to the postman…
    
    You can only imagine what delights awaiting me in the editing phase…

I need watch guidance from someone I can trust. I have an Aquadive 50… the orange behemoth if the early 70’s with the oil filled Bourdon tube depth gauge. I wish to sell and I want a fair price and I want the watch to go to someone who respects isn’t just buying and selling for profit or who is compensating big watches for other issues. Preferably a diver. I’m a tough South Texas woman who prefers those who cut thru the crap and show some integrity. Are u that guy? Or is all this love for timepieces fluff and circumstance? I apologize for my tone; I have the utmost respect for your knowledge, your journalistic skill set, your ability to educate; it’s why I am making this inquiry. Thank u.
