Episode 12: You're Doing It Wrong | Stop Doing This With Your Watch!

Mo:

Welcome back to the dialed in podcast. I'm Moe, and as always, I'm joined here by my buddy, Gene. Gene, how you doing? Doing well. Can't complain.

Gene:

Still, still in LA over there. Still in LA.

Gene:

Another week or so, but, we'll be back very shortly.

Mo:

Nice. Nice. I heard you did some watch shopping in LA yesterday or maybe browsing.

Gene:

Yeah. Did a little bit of window shopping. You know, had the opportunity to to take a walk down Rodeo Drive, the world famous, and, stopped by IWC and, JLC. Unfortunately, Rolex and and Patek were both closed and and, peaked into Piaget as well. But the one watch that I tried on yesterday Wait.

Mo:

Wait. Wait.

Mo:

That they were they were closed. We're this for people, on Memorial Day weekend. So so you went on a Sunday of Memorial Day weekend Yeah. Yeah. And you're saying they were closed.

Gene:

Yeah. So the the brand new Patek and Rolex boutiques on Rodeo, which are run by Geary's, were closed or are closed on the Sunday and Monday of Memorial Day weekend, which is just unreal considering that they're two of the the biggest shopping days, you know, of the year. So apparently, sales, and revenues

Gene:

Yeah. They shop anytime.

Mo:

Okay. Wait. So JLC, do you try anything on?

Gene:

Yeah. The brand new, Mono Face

Gene:

with the

Gene:

pink gold Milanese bracelet is is something they actually had on exhibition in the boutique, and and I immediately saw it as soon as I walked in the door and had to try it on. It it looks unbelievable, on wrist. It is absolutely stunning. One of the watches where, you know, sometimes there's a disconnect between when you see something in an article or photos and and you wear it in in real life in the metal. And in this case, it was it was every bit as good if not better, on wrist.

Gene:

So, gorgeous considering putting a deposit down maybe. Was getting a little bit of the hard sell. And just for some inside information, the the general guidance around ordering that watch is it's gonna take about a year, but the belief is that, it could come in, as soon as eight to ten months. But but it's looking like a year, if you get a deposit on it right now.

Mo:

As soon as eight to ten months. Nothing about eight to months as soon. But, just for everyone, I don't think you mentioned you meant the Reverso. You said Monoface, but it but it is the Reverso, and that's like the the watch of the of the year at Watch and Wonders seemingly, it's it's everywhere. It's beautiful.

Mo:

I'm I'm I'm actually jealous you got to see it in person. I haven't, made my way to the JLC boutique in, New York yet, but it looks looks awesome. You sent you sent me a pic. I thought it looked great on your wrist. So if you need any more of a hard sell, I'm here to convince you to to get it.

Gene:

Sounds good. Sounds good. Still mulling it over, but, I'll I'll definitely take your opinion into consideration.

Mo:

Cool. And before before we dive into the the episode, one more thing I wanted to chat about is did you see the new MB and F that was released? It's called the special project one. The reason I bring it up, and I'll I'll say that MB and F is really never on my radar. I I like that it exists.

Mo:

I think Max Booster is awesome and and just what they do, just for paralogy is is super super cool. Nothing about the watches they usually make are appealing to me aesthetically. So it wouldn't it would never be on my wrist. However, the reason I bring this one up in particular is it's super slim. It's actually they they're referring to it as their dress watch, and it's 38 millimeters, which is incredibly wearable.

Mo:

And for people who haven't seen it, one, you know, just Google it, the special project one. But for a little bit of a description here, it's like a it's a time only watch that is, I should say, normal round dial, which which is or case rather, which is kinda rare for MB and F. And it is fully skeletonized with, you know, showing the movement and a and a very small dial for the time. And it is beautiful. It comes in platinum.

Mo:

It comes in rose gold anywhere from 76 to $82,000, so not really in the in the price range I'm looking to spend on on a watch like Yeah. I guess. But but I've got some thoughts, but before I do, what what do you think of the watch?

Gene:

I think it's a beautiful watch. At 38 millimeters and and keep in mind that it doesn't have a bezel. So I think it will wear a little bit larger or look a bit closer to a to a 40 on wrist. That's just my speculation. But it's a it's a stunning watch, and and I'll say that for MB and F, which I also like as a brand, but I've generally found the watches that they make a little bit, unwearable for me.

Gene:

This is probably the first one that I've seen that is very approachable, and something that that I could see myself owning potentially someday, but but, I like the direction that they're going in, and and I think it's a great watch.

Mo:

Totally agree. The one thing I'll say is that the, I mean, the the case back and the and the dial side are incredibly open and and transparent and see through. So so you complete it's almost like magnifies your wrist underneath. You see a lot of wrist Yeah. Behind that movement and, and through the watch.

Mo:

So, you know, if you have hair on your wrists, if you tend to have a a weird watch tan from wearing a watch every day, it's a lot to commit to to to showing people that much of of your wrist through the watch. And and it's kind of I feel like if I owned it, it's it's all I would see is my wrist versus the the watch itself.

Gene:

Practical advice.

Mo:

Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Because, you know, the MB and F pricing is is it's it's a practical watch, geez. Give practical advice.

Mo:

So alright. So this episode today, we're gonna talk about you know, you may have heard a few episodes ago, I did a solo pod about some of my grievances in the watch community. This is kind of an extension to that, and this time I got Gene on here so we can we can get some of his takes. But, really, it's it's sort of, you know, advice to stop doing these things with your watches. Now it's completely subjective.

Mo:

This is stuff that Gene and I don't like. We may even disagree on some of the things on this list. But, yeah, basically, like, just just hear us out. This is some of the stuff we don't suggest you do with your watch for for a whole multitude of reasons. And as always, there's no barrier to entry here on the dialed in podcast, just a love for watches.

Mo:

So with that, Gene, let's get dialed in. Alright. First thing on the list, to stop doing with your watch is wearing your watch incredibly loose such that it, like, hangs down to your thumb.

Gene:

You're doing it wrong. I I I I It looks totally unkempt.

Mo:

It's it's very strange. In fact, you know, wearing it that loose is actually not even good, for the bracelet. One, you know, I don't know, maybe someone can slip it off your wrist pretty easily. That that's, you know, that's never a good thing. And two, many people actually kind of think that bracelets stretch, when it's too tight on your wrist.

Mo:

Yeah. You know, it's actually the other way around. If you're if you're wearing a watch too loose, yeah, it it it puts a lot of wear on the on the links and in in fact makes the the stretch that much more on the bracelet over time. And and

Gene:

I did not know that. Yeah. I did not know that. And I don't know if this is true, but I would imagine just the jostling that happens if you wear a watch that loosely could probably have a negative effect on the movement as well. But, you know, I couldn't I couldn't say that with certainty, but, just speculation.

Mo:

Yeah. And all of these are good reasons, but the main reason is you look like an idiot if you do it. So, you know, up to you. Yeah.

Gene:

Don't do it.

Mo:

Here's another one that I I I don't know if I'm gonna be in my own camp here, and this is this is probably not fair to to tell people, but I I think it's so I'm I'm gonna say it. People wear their watch on the wrong wrist or at least from my perspective, the wrong wrist. Like, the crown should be facing your fingers. Right? And a lot of people who are not left handed just choose to wear a watch on the on their right hand, and I just don't understand it.

Mo:

I don't like the way it looks.

Gene:

I completely agree with you. I I'll I'll give one caveat to that, which is I do understand the annoyance of having the crown dig into your wrist, which I've had happened before many times. At one point, I had some scarring when I was wearing a watch very consistently every single day, for the majority of the day. So I sort of understand it, but will generally agree with you that the idea of wearing it, on the opposite wrist, it just doesn't work for me visually. Not to mention the fact that, there are a whole host of reasons why right handers wear watches on their left hand, which we can probably talk about later.

Gene:

But aesthetically, I'm on the same page.

Mo:

I'm sure I'm sure everyone has an excuse for it that that does it, but, I just don't like the way it looks, so that's that. Alright. Another one is if you buy a watch, you spend any amount of money on it, and it's something you've been lusting after and you can't wait to to own it, wear it. Don't don't keep your watch locked up in a safe or in a watch box and and just, like, admire it at home. That's a weird thing to do.

Mo:

These are meant to be worn. These are meant to be enjoyed, taken with you, develop memories with it. Yeah. Why are you leaving it in a box forever?

Gene:

Yeah. If you're if you're leaving it in a box forever, if it's sitting in the safe, you're kind of missing the whole point of this hobby. You know, the point of this hobby is to wear your watches, to share your watches. We've a lot about community around watches, and you just rob yourself of of, you know, that whole experience if if you're setting them aside and and not wearing them. I'm somewhat guilty of a bit of this, but mostly because there are certain times and occasions for watches.

Gene:

And if those don't come up for me, I'm not wearing the Day Date every single day. But a secondary reason to also consider to wear your watches is, over time, if you leave a watch completely sitting and unworn, you will find that the lubrication in the movement will degrade as will the rubber gaskets, and and and it'll affect waterproofing. So another reason to, at a minimum, wind your watches maybe once a month, maybe once every couple of months just to make sure that they're moving, because it's important from a a longevity standpoint.

Mo:

Practical advice from Gene as always. Just enjoy your watches, guys. You know? That's what that's what they're that's what they're there for. Alright.

Mo:

Here's like a real WTF one. And if you do this, I have so many questions for you. Wearing wearing your watch over your shirt cuff. I don't even understand how you could defend that. It is the weirdest thing ever.

Mo:

Why does everyone have to see your watch if you're wearing a a long sleeve shirt? Like, let it happen naturally. Wearing it over your cuff is so strange, and it looks it doesn't even look good or cool. So I I I have a lot of trouble understanding why anyone would do this.

Gene:

Yeah. I don't have a whole lot to add. It's a complete abomination

Mo:

if

Gene:

you wear a watch over your cuff. There are there are very very few people in this world that can probably pull that off and look, you know, look elegant doing so. I've maybe seen a couple of examples of that, but it's just don't do it. You're you're not that person. You know, when I talk about there's a couple people in this world that can pull that off, it's not you.

Gene:

So just don't do it.

Mo:

Yeah. And I'll I'll give two two things here. One, like, the one exception I'll give is I think, you know, I've seen women do it with a very sort of thin long sleeve on a dress, and they'll put, like, other jewelry stacked with it and, you know, fine. You know, that that in certain circumstances looks good. If you are a man and you are wearing a shirt that has a cuffed sleeve, it there is there is zero exception there.

Mo:

Like, just just keep it under your cuff. And and one other thing to add here is on this topic is I actually met a guy once, from London, who gets his this is ridiculous. Are you ready for this? No. No.

Mo:

He tailors his shirts, cut you know, custom makes bespoke custom tailored shirts Mhmm. And makes the shirt cuff such that a watch can fit through it. So only the the watch face will show, and the rest of it will be covered by the cuff.

Gene:

Wait. You mean it has like a circular cutout?

Mo:

Correct. You're joking. I swear. It's it's absolutely absurd. What?

Gene:

My mind is absolutely blown.

Mo:

That is crazy. It's all kinds of crazy. And what's wild is like, I was kind of, you know, I was poking for more information about it, and so I had to in order to get him talking about it, I had to sort of compliment it. Right? I didn't want it to be like, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, and you're an idiot.

Gene:

Tell me more. Yeah.

Mo:

I was kinda like, oh, that's interesting. Like, what made you do that? And he was so proud to tell me that, like, he has different shirts for different watches that, like, fit the, you know, the the case in perfectly. And, you know, it's something that he he coins and sort of trademarks as his own. He goes, yeah.

Mo:

Like, I'd I'd love to be known for this. Like, that is definitely not something you wanna be known for, buddy.

Gene:

Oh my god. Although, you know, there's probably enough people in this world that think it's a novel and cool idea that he could probably have a little side hustle business making these shirts, but that's just wild. I I've never seen anything like that. I've never heard anything like that.

Mo:

Alright. Next. Next one, this this is this is actually kind of common. I I see this every now and again. And maybe if it's just sort of a personal preference, but I don't leave your chronographs running at all times.

Mo:

You know, I I it's not really a a movement issue anymore, especially with, like, vertical clutch column wheels. Like, it doesn't really damage the movement if you're wearing, like, a a modern Rolex Daytona, for example, and you leave your chronograph running. But I guess my main quest but it does, by the way, I should add for for older watches and and, you know, less sophisticated chronograph movements, you you can certainly damage the movement by leaving it running all all the time. But I will say that just sort of why, you know? More more so than than the degradation on the movement is just why the the whole point is that's not a running seconds hand.

Mo:

Right. It's a it's a timer. And what what are you timing at all times?

Gene:

Yeah. I mean, that's exactly my question. Why? What is the purpose of of keeping your chronograph running like that? You're not looking at it the entire time.

Gene:

You're not tracking time of anything. It is not a secondhand. What are you doing?

Mo:

Right. It's the equivalent of having like a a digital watch like a Casio and keeping your, like, stopwatch on. You just wouldn't you just wouldn't do it. And so it's a weird thing

Gene:

to intentionally.

Mo:

Right. It's a weird thing to do with a mechanical watch in in in my opinion, at least.

Gene:

Yeah.

Mo:

And and seemingly yours.

Gene:

I've left the chronograph running by accident, but I would never do that with intention. Never.

Mo:

Yeah. And an extension of this because we mentioned the Daytona, and it's one of the things I actually mentioned on our, like, on our watch gripes episodes. I I really hate screw down crowns on chronograph pushers. Like, it kinda defeats the purpose of a timer. Like, if you wanna time something quickly, like, oh, shit.

Mo:

I gotta, you know, unscrew this these pusher crowns and and, and then push it. It just takes away from the experience. Like, I'll give the Speedmaster a a plus one on that because, you know, there's there's no screw down on that, and you can just activate the pushers really quickly. But on that, if you do have a screw down crown in particular, but screw down anything on a watch, like, that that is purposeful. Like, it's functional, and don't leave it unscrewed.

Mo:

The amount of people I see on Instagram doing wrist rolls and, you know, I I see the screw down crown left unscrewed, I'm always just, you know, kind of cringing being like,

Gene:

oh, god. I hope you

Mo:

don't try and wash your hands. Yeah.

Gene:

Don't do it.

Mo:

Okay. Here's another one that I that I don't know if you'll agree with. And this is like this is I'll chalk this up to my OCD, but I really don't like when people don't set their date window.

Gene:

I'm raising my hand over here. Guilty as charged. Look. Sometimes I forget. Sometimes I can't be bothered to do it.

Gene:

I I would like to to change, the date to make sure that every single time I wear a watch that has a date complication that, that it's accurate. But I I will I will say that sometimes I leave the house and and, especially if if the date is not even close and I have to cycle through the entire month, I'm just not gonna do it. So even with quick set, I I I just don't sometimes.

Mo:

I mean, I use my Mhmm. Date window when I'm I I don't necessarily miss it if I'm wearing a time only watch. Right. But if I have a watch with a date window, it bothers the hell out of me if the date is wrong. And I'll I'll find myself using the date window when I'm wearing a a watch with one, kind of often, even though I could, yes, very easily pull out my phone and it's on my home screen.

Mo:

Yeah. I I'm just sort of used to looking out on my watch to to see the date. And if it would be off or wrong, then it's to me, it's like so it's almost like nails on a chalkboard for me looking at a wrong date window. I don't know.

Gene:

Okay. Well, then I will I will be sure to course correct my own behavior. And then next time I see you to make absolutely certain that the watch that I'm wearing, if it has a date, is accurate so as not to offend your sensibilities.

Mo:

Thanks, Gene. That's a good friend right there. Let's see. What do we got next on the list? Okay.

Mo:

Here's one. And I mentioned stacking earlier, but, listen. I guys, I think the the stack is whack is how I'll frame it. If you're wearing a watch and you want a great picture for your Instagram grid or or to send a picture to a buddy or to show your new watch and you wanna throw some, like, bracelets around it that match the colors or you just want more bling on your wrist, whatever it is, fine. Do it.

Mo:

Take that picture, but do not go walk around with that stack of bracelets on, on the same wrist as your watch, you know, throughout your day. It it it may look good. And and by the way, in fact, I actually don't think it looks good once your arm hangs down and the bracelets slide down and and just sort of, like, crunch against your watch. And, of course, we I'm I'm mainly talking about the scratching that happens. But even aesthetically, it doesn't look as great as it does when you just sort of, like, position them well for a picture.

Mo:

And, you know, I'm I'm really talking about any kind of metal, bracelets here for for a stack. Like, if you wanna throw on some, like, rope bracelets because you think it looks good with your watch, personally, I don't. But if you do, that you know, more power to you. But really, it's it's it's the idea of, like, stacking, like, you know, you'll see a lot of pictures of, Cartier love bracelets or or Joussaint Clou, next to a watch, and and that just scratches the hell out of the watch with everyday use. And I just don't see the the purpose or or the use for it.

Gene:

I I would agree. From my perspective, stacking with a watch, can look cool even in its chaos. Just, the the idea that that there's something beautiful about, you know, the the maximalism of of wearing a watch with with a few bracelets or something like that. That said, I I just I think the danger of of damage to your watch in particular, you know, again, as you mentioned, scratches and dings, you know, crystal, all that stuff. You're also talking about expense down the road.

Gene:

You know, if you ever wanna polish or recondition the watch, if if the crystal gets scratched or or chipped, replacing those things, especially for very nice watches, is is going to come at a pretty penny. So just keep that in mind if if it's something that you wanna do, that there's there's damage being done to your watch, and and there's probably some cost down the road if you wanna make, any kind of fixes.

Mo:

A % agree. Gene, you you added this one to the list, I think it's a good one. Winding a watch while it's on your wrist.

Gene:

Yeah. And and I've been guilty of it too. What I will will say about winding a watch on your wrist is that, there is some potential for damage. We've talked about that a lot today that there are these instances where you're doing micro harm on your watch and in in in the aggregate, maybe you're doing something real. But winding a watch on your wrist, because of the way that it sits and and the lateral force that you're putting on it, this is super nerdy.

Gene:

You're actually potentially doing damage to, you know, the crown, given that it's a force that it wasn't meant to endure. So just keep that in mind. Generally speaking, the safest way to to wind your watch is to take it off of your wrist and and wind it that way. So, yeah, do that and and and save yourself, some damage down the line.

Mo:

And also, why are you so lazy? Just take the watch off and find it or set it or whatever the hell you're doing with it. Alright. Another one, again, that's sort of like technical issue if if you do this is, playing sports with watches that are not developed, you know, solely for, withstanding a a ton of force.

Gene:

There are several sports that we probably consider to be casual ones that I know a lot of friends in mind play and and play pretty frequently. I'm thinking specifically about golf, tennis, pickleball, which is, you know, obviously very similar. Wearing watches playing sports, you're you're gonna do something very bad potentially. There's just a lot of force that's applied to the movement during a golf swing, during a tennis swing, during a pickleball swing, and it's happening repeatedly. These watches weren't designed to do that.

Gene:

And and I think, you know, again, we're talking about technical issues and damage. It's it's another situation where, you know, applying that type of force to a watch is is going to create problems for you down the line.

Mo:

But if you have an RM, by all means. Alright. Cool. Here's here's one that is is is just an annoyance for me, and and to me, it's very obvious and has nothing to do with anything technical about your watch at all. It's it's really just stop pushing up your sleeves so people can see your watch.

Mo:

Like, that's a it's it's so obvious. It's it's very weird. You know, if no one's commented on your watch and seeing it sort of, like, half poking out of your sleeve, they probably have nothing to say about your watch. It's not that they haven't had a good look at it. And so, you know, no need to, like, keep your left hand, you know, positioned on on your face and your sleeve rolled down so people could see it.

Mo:

It's it's the watch is for you. Enjoy it. If you're wearing something for comments, then, you're doing it wrong. And, people that are watch people will see a sliver of a watch and ask about it or or ask to see more of it or ask to see it properly. And so don't stress about that.

Mo:

But, the watch is for you. Stop pulling up your sleeve in a weird way to show your watch to everyone.

Gene:

So you're saying when I roll up my sleeve and rub my chin when I'm wearing the Panda Daytona, I'm being too blatant.

Mo:

No. Not obvious at all, Gene. Not obvious at all. Alright. Let me ask you a question, and I'm not trying to trap you here.

Mo:

Yeah. Do you know what a sex pile is?

Gene:

I have I mean, I could guess what that is. I I've never heard that term before. I I have no clue.

Mo:

This is this is a family pod, so please save your guesses, Gene. I don't know if we need to hear what you think it is. So let me just let me cut to the chase here. Thank you. Ever go to if you ever go to a watch meetup or, like, a red bar event, always at the end of it, you know, they'll they'll call for a a big picture of all the watches that were there.

Mo:

And everyone kinda takes off their watch and puts it on whatever table is at this cafe or bar that they're at. Right? It's typically like a a wooden table, and everyone's just like, not I wouldn't say throwing their watches. They're trying to, you know, place them in this pile together, which is, you know, I guess affectionately referred to as a sex pile by most watch community. And it's just to me, just no.

Mo:

Like, don't what is the purpose of that? Your watch is definitely getting scratched. Yeah. Let alone, like, god forbid, you you throw down, like, a a watch that's that's meaningful to you and someone else is a it's a really easy way to just, like, for someone to pick it up and walk out with it. Although I know those events are are for people in the community, and hopefully none of you would ever do that to someone else.

Mo:

But you're just weirdly leaving your watch exposed to, like, one, tons of scratches, potential theft, mistakes happen, you know, someone could be taking their watch off the table and kinda hit yours on the way and it falls off and Yeah. God, so many bad things can happen. Just, like, take a bunch of wrist shots if you must take pictures of the watches that were there. I it's weird to me.

Gene:

Yeah. First of all, setting aside the how salacious a sex pile sounds, the the practical advice here, and and this is probably a larger idea around the way you handle your watch and set it on hard surfaces, because I'll definitely see a lot of people put it sort of crown side or on the other side of the case, or even if you lay it flat, there there's gonna be damage. Like, even if you lay it flat, you're gonna find scratches on your case back, for example. You spent a lot of money on this watch. You care about it.

Gene:

It's something that's important to you. Just try to avoid, the unnecessary damage that happens when you when you put your yourself at risk. So, yeah, that's that's just just avoid it.

Mo:

Yeah. And interestingly, I've actually heard, that if you do put your watch down sort of on the side of its case, that if you have to pick a side, the preferred side is typically put it on rest it on the crown.

Gene:

I didn't know that.

Mo:

Well, it's it's it's you know, the way it was described to me is just it's the least amount of real estate for potential scratching

Gene:

Ah, okay.

Mo:

Which I thought was was pretty smart. I don't know if I'd advise putting your watch down that way, you know, and put my stamp of approval on it, but I think it's it's it is good advice that if you have to put your watch down, on a hard surface just because of what we said could potentially happen, even just moving it around can cause some scratches. Like, you may as well scratch your crown versus the entire Yeah. You know, other side of your of your case.

Gene:

Totally. Separate and aside, do you actually own a a tray of any kind? Just something like a softer service surface so that you can handle your watches and and not worry about them getting scratched on a table or something like that?

Mo:

Yeah. Mean, couple of episodes we talked about watch stands. So I'm a big proponent of watch stands and just having those around a lot of tables on my on my in my house. But I do have, like, a felt and a leather tray that I do tend to just put my watch down on both on my on my desk at my office and and on my bedside table. I'm a big believer in those.

Mo:

Just, just if if you can have a softer surface somewhere, why not?

Gene:

I have a tray as well. It's it's actually made of cork, so it's soft, and and I think it looks kinda cool. So,

Mo:

whatever you do, just no sex piles. So last one, Gene. This one is one that really bothers me. I know it bothers you too. People who wear two watches, one on each wrist.

Gene:

Look, we know the the the prototype for the person that wears two watches. Right? Like the the as far as I'm concerned, the person that put that behavior on the map is Kevin O'Leary, mister wonderful. I hate it. I hate it.

Gene:

I think it's, atrocious. I have the same feelings towards that that you have towards NATO straps. It's terrible. Don't do it. The only the only exception that I can make for wearing two watches is if one of them is digital and you're wearing it for fitness tracking.

Gene:

I can kinda get behind that, but even then wearing two watches, just the optics of it, it looks terrible.

Mo:

I think you're being way too kind on the idea of wearing two watches if one is digital. Fitness tracking or not, like, I it looks stupid when you wear an Apple watch on one wrist and a mechanical watch on the other. I I guess just choose one. You know? And and and I'm not saying that, like, if you have a fitness tracker like a WHOOP or something that's not a watch on the other wrist, it still kinda looks weird, but, like, more power to you, whatever.

Mo:

Do what you need to do. If you have two devices that tell you the time, one on each wrist, it looks stupid, and there's no reason to do it. And you brought up Kevin O'Leary, and goddamn it, that guy really bothers me because not only does he wear two watches, but he talks about it and and and defends it by saying the dumbest thing that he does. Oh, I do business in Abu Dhabi, and so I need to know the time there and in my hometown of of LA. And you're like, guy, you're one of the watches you're wearing is a GMT.

Mo:

Like that is what it was designed for, you know? And and the idea of of defending it and and not saying what it really is, which is that I have a ton of expensive Yeah. F u watches that and I and I just wanna be able show how many I have. Yeah. So I wear two at a time and change those two four times a day.

Mo:

Mhmm. Great. You know, that makes you an awful person.

Gene:

Look, you're you're stating the obvious, which is he is just trying to show all the maisons he has in his collection.

Mo:

For for listeners that don't know, that is not how Gene says the word collection. That is very unfortunately how mister Wonderful chooses to say collection, as collection. And it's really just it's it's awful. But, but the main point here is is that don't wear two watches on your wrists. That should be obvious.

Mo:

It's weird. I don't know what you're trying to tell to the world, but, it's not coming off the way you think it is. And, Apple watches, I think you all know my thoughts on this. If you've, if you've listened to the pod, Gene and I very much disagree. Gene is a big proponent of Apple Watches for all the things it can do and the fitness tracking and health tracking and being able to check messages.

Mo:

I think it is the worst thing to happen to watches, since the course crisis. But

Gene:

We'll save that debate for another day.

Mo:

Indeed. Alright, man. Well, that that's that's all that's all we had. Guys, thanks for tuning in as always. Just a very quick plug and a reminder for the listener survey.
