Welcome to this. Watch live hi.
I'm Lydia Winters. And I'm Boo Boo.
And it is Friday. This morning I said to one of
our colleagues, I was like, hey, how was your weekend?
And he was like, I was like, no, but what did you do this
weekend? And he's like, I can't really
think of, I can't think of it, 'cause it was a while ago.
And then I was like, I didn't even know what day it is.
I'm so confused about time. You were asking him.
About as. Though it was Monday or
something. Yeah, but that doesn't make
sense 'cause it was a really long.
Week. It was a really long week with a
lot of stuff. But also we.
Just got home. Someone came in and it was the
first time I saw them today and I was like, oh, bye.
And then a while later I was like, I think I meant to say hi.
So we had a really big work day today and a work week and a work
month. And so, yeah, I am very excited
because. We have not missed a day of
podcast. Today I found out that the
weekend starts tomorrow. It does start tomorrow.
But we have not missed a day of podcasting.
We. Have not.
And today, we are going to RIP off Brit Pierce.
Yes and Brit Pierce is an amazing YouTube.
She's also one of our best friends in the world and she is
brilliant. And when we are like, there's no
ideas left in these brains. We no no no put on a Brit Pierce
video has. Nothing to do with that, it's
just a pure RIP off, Yeah. Well yeah, but isn't a RIP off
when you have no ideas in your brain and you want to RIP it
off? No.
You can have tons of ideas and still RIP things off.
Oh, you're that? Good.
Oh, you're saying you just have tons of ideas?
I am so full of ideas, but the. Best one is to RIP off Brit
Pierce. Today, episode 180 of our Monday
through Friday daily podcast. Yes.
We are ripping off a Brit Pierce video from recently that I
suggest you all watch because we're not going to go through
everything that Brit said. However, she made a list of her
top five worst watches of the last three years.
Which is a very specific time period that I love.
Three years. 3:00-ish years actually.
And and we're going to go through them and give our own
opinions. Yes, because as we watched this
video, well, I listened because we were driving.
Yes, but I was, I was saying some different opinions, yes.
Which which? Which was very interesting to me
and that's why it makes for a good episode.
Yes, Bert didn't know she was in a debate with someone.
No, she didn't know she was in a debate.
Actually, she does, because she's read her own YouTube
comments before. If you're on YouTube, you're
always in a debate. Yes, that is, that is true.
Yeah. I mean, I started on YouTube.
Probably a lot of people don't know this.
No 2000. I started on YouTube in 2010 so
I know about them, YouTube debates and the comments.
Yes, I do. You know you'd.
Scarred for life? In 14 years that so much would
have changed. No, no, nothing's.
Changed not for a woman online. Definitely.
All right. Number one, OK, on Britt's list,
we've talked about this, but we're going to talk about a
little bit again, is the Rolex Deep Sea Yellow Gold.
OK, I don't think this deserves to be on the worst.
Nope, because I think it's just a little fun to pick on.
Which I do agree it's so. Easy.
To pick on. But actually when we I got to
try it on, I loved it. I thought it was cool.
Too big for me. It's gigantic.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not about diving, so I get
it. But also.
But also, why is it not about diving?
Because it's a big gold watch, you'll sink to the bottom.
You have to. Leave it.
You know how like scuba divers, you, you need to put weights on
to like sink, I think down to the ocean floor.
Is that what happens with diving?
And then then if you have to take the the the weights off,
you have to just throw your. Challenge, you know.
I have been diving once but it turns out I don't.
Remember where weights on that people?
But it was kind of surface level.
OK, Well, that's not right either.
It wasn't. 3 meters. Hold diving, but it wasn't far.
No, I couldn't. I couldn't equalize my pressure,
so I couldn't stay down. No, probably because there were
no weights holding you. Holding.
If only I had a. OK, let's.
Solid gold, deep sea. Look, look, remember everyone,
this is a person who said bye to someone who walked in into the
room so just, and who asked if someone's weekend was good.
So don't. They're not.
Brainless. One of the things that Brit
liked about this is that it doesn't have a cyclops and that
to me is like my only criticism of this watch because I love the
cyclops. I do love Cyclops, yeah.
Too. It makes it so much easier to
read the. Date OK.
All right #2 the AP Black Panther.
Wholeheartedly agree. Oh, it's a no from me dog.
It's a no. For you, yeah.
I I I actually completely agree with this.
One I look, The thing is, it's not about Black Panther or they
did the Spider Man 1. It's hard with these things that
are. Very characters.
Like character stuff is hard. I look I The thing is I think
doing it is is cool. I just don't like it so OK.
This episode is to balance out puppies and watches yesterday.
To be clear. This is like a little more hard
hitting grumpy. This is.
This is hard hitting however. But if you spent 150,000 Swiss
francs on this or however 250,000 Swiss francs.
You think people who own the AP Black Panther are listening to
our podcast right now? Yes, if you are one of the many
owners listening to this podcast, then you know what?
I hope you you really love it. That sounds it sounds like you
mean but. You sound so sarcastic.
Like, I hope you really love it. Hope you love that dumb old
watch. Your body, I hope you really.
You know you can't say it without sounding so.
Actually do mean it. I I'm glad you got 1 and you
really wanted it. That's what I mean to say.
Almost all the watches I enjoy hating on I also appreciate, and
this is one of those this is. One where I don't.
I I do not enjoy the aesthetic, but I recognize that obviously
like 150 people did because they sold them all and I get it like
I get the in the world. Different people like different
things and although for me an expensive watch with a comic
book character on it is not exciting for me.
But since I was watching that show with my dad, the Golden
touch GOLDIN because his last name is Golden.
People pay a lot of money for comic books, like millions of
dollars, so at least. But they are collectibles.
Yes, I know, but I'm saying at least in this.
But those you can't open, you can't read them.
No you can't. At least in this case you could
wear it on your. Wrist open it.
But you could, you could wear it, but I'm saying you get to
use it. So watches are awesome.
OK, that's. My that's the summary.
Number three, OK, we're sticking with AP because Britt decided to
pick on the remaster O2. And for those of you who don't
know, this is fairly recent. This is this year and it's an
asymmetric case that is, huh, What is that shape?
It's rectangular, trapezoidal ish.
Yes. OK, so I think this is a cool
watch and I was kind of like no brick, you're wrong.
But then when she pointed out the difference in size, how?
Because the original was like 27mm.
Yes, but that would wear a lot bigger because it's
asymmetrical. It would.
Wear well, but but it depends on where they're measuring.
If they're measuring from corner to corner like so, I don't know
how they measure this watch. Like what is the 41 millimeter?
Dimension anyway. So it doesn't necessarily mean
it wears bigger. But my complaint is no too big.
Have you worn it? Well OK, I've seen the photos of
it at 41 millimeters. It is really big and if they're
remastering it, I wish it was in a more accessible size.
I haven't seen it so but I just I just.
I think it's super cool I. Really like it so OK I want more
companies to bring back like crystals with facets.
OK, Yes, faceted crystals, yes, please.
Like. So I I've been a little bit
obsessed with some vintage Seikos and grand Seikos that
have faceted crystals. I.
And they're super. Just learning this fact right
now, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you know, it's one of those things.
This is interesting because Vu talks my ear off.
I can't tell you everything I was thinking about more.
Researching it seems like is that.
What you think is that? What?
You think, But today I learned that there's still some secrets
left in there. Yeah, so I've been looking at
them and it's again, I I get scared of vintage, right because
of provenance and yeah. And is it original and?
All of these types of having touched it with their grubby
little pals, Yeah. Yeah, do you know how grubby the
paws are of? The people talking a lot about
dogs and paws today. I've said dog.
And paw. Anyway, I think this watch is
fantastic. I think this is, although not a
super attainable watch or even somewhat attainable watch for
most people that exist. I like the idea of doing things
that are a bit different, even if it's based on something that
already existed in the past. Yes, I agree.
Modern watches don't look like this and I think it's really
cool. Yes, I do too, but I wish it
was. I haven't tried it on, it might
fit me perfectly, so I. But I, I know for sure it will
not fit me perfectly. And for that, it's a, it's a,
it's a worst watch over the past three years.
I agree with Brad. Watch #4 we are talking about
the Blancpan Swatch Scuba 50 fathoms.
I do not agree with this because OK, wait, here's a hot take.
Though I'm kind of scared to say I prefer that to the Moon
Swatch. Is that a hot take?
Yeah. I guess most people prefer the
Moon Swatch. Yeah.
Yeah, I like the look of it more.
I think it's more like, I think it's a little more trendy.
I guess it has a cooler look to me.
This one. But maybe it's because like, I'm
burnt on those those little moon swatches from seeing them.
Now they are available online, just not here.
Yes, only in the US and China. Yeah, so anyway.
Not widely. Available.
The thing that I wasn't really into with this, well, OK, there
were two. One was price.
It felt like a lot. And #2 was the fact that It's US
feels somehow completely wrong to have this Blancpon dive watch
that is also like a throwaway watch.
Yes, OK. Yeah.
Like it cannot be repaired, it is.
No oceans were saved, no. Oceans were saved OK I and on
the back it has like a nooty brank and it like it The whole
thing is like oh oceans but plastics are destroying our.
Ocean, yeah, but I'm so hard. Saying.
Thing. Yes I completely agree.
I'm only saying that I like the look of it more.
I do. Not the concept or or yeah.
Oh, and I'm not saying that these are worse or better than
the Moon Swatch in terms of like being decent for the Earth.
I just think that a dive watch, and especially one with like
wildlife on the back of it, it just feels very weird.
It feels strange. But the actual worst watch in my
opinion to come out of that is not the collaboration, but that
right after they did that very expensive version of the 50
fathoms and it looked just like the Swatch ones.
That is my worst Swatch because I was like, again, everyone
knows if I've paid a lot for it, I want it to be not looking like
you. Want it to look like, not.
Yes, and definitely not look like the brand new.
Plastic one. Plastic one because if someone
if you spent all that money and then someone was like, oh cool,
yeah, I've got one of those two. From the Swatch.
Store. Do you know how often that
happens to the person? To the people who bought it?
Well, luckily. Right.
Very few people buy actual 50 fathoms.
Oh boy. I mean, let's.
Be Oh, it's Friday. They're not everywhere.
No, you don't see them out there.
I. Have never seen A50 fathoms in
the wild. No.
I've never seen one. No.
I haven't even seen one at a watch event.
Also no. Yeah, so I'm, I'm, I'm not
worried. We're insulting a bunch of 50
fathoms owners. Maybe a couple.
Yeah, maybe. Not a bunch, but not a bunch.
All right, last one. Yes.
This is an easy one, I think. Well, they're all easy ones
because Britt did the homework to actually put this list
together and all we're doing is literally ripping off her.
Work thank you Britt. I think her video is 10 minutes
too, so we also we. Somehow stretched her own
content further. Than she did.
Because there's two of us giving opinions.
Aquanaut. So OK, that's a protect Philippe
Aquanaut. Not to be confused with any
other Aquanaut. Yes.
Luche. OK.
So this is absolutely it. It's like if you took the
concept of a rainbow Daytona and then but it's an Aquanaut and
the rainbow's everywhere. Yeah, it's like there are
diamonds everywhere. There's colors everywhere.
Everywhere. And it's a minute repeater and
it's two and a half million dollars.
Well. Or maybe it was pounds.
I don't. Know I mean, I wanted it.
I wanted it for. Something that doesn't really
matter, yeah. I was all in until you said the
price. OK, so look.
I I haven't heard an opinion on this.
One, I'm going to say something and I I already know this is not
going to go down well. With anyone?
A few a few specific friends. One of them is Britt's husband.
I'm not a huge Aqua, not fan I. Don't.
I'm not commenting on that. I just don't.
I get it. I prefer the Aquanaut to the
Nautilus. I don't think that I do.
I think I prefer the Nautilus, but the little Teletubby babies.
Have you tried them on? Yes, I've tried both on but I
haven't tried an aquanaut in my size so that could be the
difference because when I've tried a Nautilus that's in my
size then I. Then I forget which model it was
a. 2 tone or something, then I'm like OK yeah, so probably if I
tried an Aquanaut in my size because I can appreciate it.
I just it's not for me. OK, But this Aquanaut, the thing
that makes, I think for most people, the thing that makes an
aquanaut an aquanaut is the rubber strap.
That's what really separates it from a Nautilus for for many
people, at least the way I've heard people talk about it and
this one. I thought it was like the little
grenade look. That's part of it too, yeah.
But when you look at this one, it is clearly like the the case
of the watch is Aquanaut, but the bracelet could be anything
because it's a bracelet. It's not rubber, it's covered in
diamonds. It's made of gold.
It is It is another thing entirely.
Like I said, it is as if you took a rainbow Daytona and you
were like, OK, rainbow Daytona, you're super lame because you do
not have enough color, enough diamonds or enough expense.
OK, Wait, hold on. When I look at this, I've
changed my mind on Aqua. She wasn't looking and I just
showed. Her I really, I must say I just
kind of slightly remembered it, but the gradient of colors.
Yeah, I'm I'm kind of in for this.
I have to say this is not a worst for me.
You should start saving. I am going to.
Well, you've said you want to consolidate the collection.
I want to consolidate it. Into two and a half million
dollars. No.
That's some real consolidate. I would be impressed with that
level. Of I would be impressed too
because I would have to really somehow consolidate plus make a
lot, a lot of money. Exponentially, yes.
It's Friday, Boo. Oh yeah.
All right, all right. We did it.
Wait. Bye bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye.
Bye bye bye bye. Bye.
Bye bye, bye, bye, bye. Bye bye.
