    Reddit is full of hot takes, and while most will elicit a dangerously deep eye roll, some of them hide some nuggets of wisdom, and it is here that we explore in this week's episode. Also discussed is a shift back to analog photography, and how that influences an appreciation for mechanical watches. But first, a look back at the Autodromo Group B Chronograph.

    Sometimes, you let a watch go, and you quickly realize you may come to regret the decision. In this episode, four watches are highlighted that fall into that category. Let's not call it regret, but these are certainly watches that linger for one reason or another. Additionally, new watches from Grand Seiko are explored, and hands-on impressions of new Parmigiani watches are offered.

    This week producer Josh joins the show to tackle the fallout from the AP x Swatch Royal Pop release, and assess what the pocketwatch says about the broader enthusiast space. We also chat about the influence of “luxury” in how watches are presented to us, and how our experiences in the independent and micro brand scene tell the real story of the industry.
