171. Florida Man Buys a Tudor; Houston, We Have A Minute Repeater; And Tashe Gate Concluded

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick starts the show referencing an experiment regarding ABTW's 1,110+ pages and a gazillion-ish reviews over 15 years, which prompts Ariel to wax nostalgic about the watches of yore. But there's a point, and that's Ariel's thesis that, "Once you begin collecting watches, you can't go back." This has multiple meanings (one related to the experiment), but you'll have to listen to the live show to find out specifics. Ariel also posts that random number generators were invented because "humans can't do anything randomly, and the other guys — Rick, David, Ripley — don't seem to agree. There's a detour into an update about Ripley's mustache, which is gone! (There's a backstory here.) How is Ariel? He is traveling endlessly because "Watches are smaller than people, but watches are, apparently, harder to move than people, so instead of watches traveling to Ariel, Ariel is traveling to watches. And David? He must be fine because his coffee (tea?) cup is as big as his head. (Jealous!) Then, somehow, we know not why, Florida Man becomes the topic of focus (no harm intended). And don't forget! The aBlogtoWatch Survey is live, and prizes for your participation await you! (You have a 1 in 200 chance to win.) The new Tudor Pink Chrono takes up a lot of airtime as the team puzzles over the release. Tune in to find out what's going on with the brand.
