In this podcast, Balazs and Mike sit down on the very last day of 2020 and hit upon a couple of key topics. Collaboration watches and re-release hope for 2021 are in store in this latest episode.

Our Fratello on Air podcast is also available via Buzzsprout, Soundcloud, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Deezer, Stitcher, and Spotify.

The Handgelenk Kontrolle

Mike kicks things off with this newly received MING 18.01 H41 Diver.

Balazs goes vintage cool with his funky and unusual Omega Genève Dynamic.

News Update

We then hit the news and talk about the Speedmaster World Cup and our favorite Speedmaster models from the competition. Balazs talks about the recently completed “Watch On Your Wrist? Instagram Photo Contest“. Finally, before we move on to our main topics on collaboration watches and 2021 wishes, we discuss the new Fratello App for iOS (hint: it’s cool and flawless to use) and our new website design!

Collaboration Watches

We talk about collaboration watches in general and then walk through six of our favorite “teamwork” pieces. Some of these will surprise you!

2021 Rerelease Wishes

After hitting on their favorite collaboration watches, Balazs and Mike discuss their rerelease wishes for 2021.

A new take on the Seamaster DeVille 145.018 with the METAS Chronometer-certified 3861 movement
The Rolex Submariner 6538
A quartz powered Seiko 5 Sports “diver” like the vintage 7548
The 321 movement is back, so why not bring back the Valjoux 72 and the Excelsior Park 40?

Thanks for your collaboration!

Speaking of collaboration, we end the show with a hearty thanks to all of you for listening and wish you a very safe and healthy New Year!

Podcast — Balazs & Mike on Collaboration Watches & Rerelease Hopes for 2021

Hvala za razumevanje…

Cool episode guys!

The really big re-release that is hanging out there is the Heuer Autavia GMT.

There is a true/traveller GMT version of the Heuer-02 chronograph movement, so it’s just a matter of time unless TAG really wants to leave money on the table.

Wishing for any kind of new Submariner, much less a “re-issue” is obviously pretty silly after the big drop last year, but it will be interesting to see what happens with the well past due Explorer II update.

Not really a re-issue, but it looks like the series production 3861 Speedmaster Professional will drop this year with the photos that have leaked.

Great podcast as usual and I was happy to learn about the app. Here’s some feedback that I have so far. I love how mobile friendly it is while still keeping the same design as the website. I do wish there was an overall search in the app and maybe filters for article topics? A few times I’ve tried to go in and bookmark some of my favorite articles but you have to sort by brand and then go through page after page to find it if it’s an older article. But that’s really been the only con I could find. All in all, I’m excited for y’all to have an app and it looks great! Continue the awesome work!

Excellent
