What do you think of meat only diet? BTW, I am building and blackned MOD of a SPB185 with a NH36 day/date... never been happier with my mods, 10% of the price of a Prospex and the quality is almost as good.

Do you like it better than the SBDC051?

- I completely understand the emotions of realtime broadcast radio. It feels like you’re with someone in witnessing the broadcasters performance in realtime. - If watches involved the taste sense like food does there’s no saying the collection size. There would be prescriptions to control it.

I too had the GI Joe helicopter. Walking all over my backyard pushing the black button to operate the blades. I hadn’t thought about that toy in forever. Thanks McMahon! I, too have anxiety about owning too many watches and having to wear them. I have pared my collection down to 4 watches and I still hear the watch noise.

Give this man a Nobel 😂

Mr. McMahon, you are my "radio". I feel like you are speaking with me, as opposed to talking at me like other streaming personalities, if you will. Just thank you.

Another great one. Ramble on, ( is there a song there? ) Watch and other noise--not quite the same as angst, maybe, but similar? Your updates on ChatGDP intriguing. Is it learning and adapting or are the algorithms just expanding? Did you ever get into Ham Radio operations? Grew up listening to the radio: FM, then AM when it ruled, and SW. Given the option prefer listening still to radio broadcasts of sports. Visualize. Admire your discipline to focus on your favorite five.

What strap?

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

You go right ahead and do the hand on the chin watch pose, McMahon! You rock that SPB143. You like your watches Seiko-branded, diver-styled, and on a rubber strap! What’s not to love. I’m loving my SPB240! ❤

Hilarious! Great video. Dr. Strangelove.

I found that tracking my watch wearing in a spreadsheet has helped me reduce my watch noise. I am in the process of losing weight (currently -37 lbs since the beginning of November, with a goal of losing 75 lbs total) and have been tracking my weight every morning with a little graph I've been refreshing daily. I added a "watch worn" tab to same excel file where I document which watch I wore the previous day. This has really helped me understand how often I'm likely to wear a a particular watch, or how often that watch would fit into my lifestyle/work scenarios, etc. That enables me to make an informed prediction about "cost per wear", which was a bit shocking when I saw the actual numbers. So often with watch noise, you find yourself thinking of a possible scenario where a watch could be perfect... and it isn't hard for us watch addicts to think of a possible second and third scenario... and then we've convinced ourselves it's a great investment. But seeing my ACTUAL watch wearing patterns has been a hedge against my brain's ability to conflate how much I'd wear the watch, and that has really helped me reduce the noise I used to experience everytime I see a new and interesting watch. Now, I just obsess over a very specific type of watch that would fit into my current work/lifestyle... but this is a noticeable and welcome improvement over my previous habit of obsessing over dozens of watches at any given time.

McMahon, the chin touch complainers should refer to that Dan Jones appearance on Bill Maher to see the consequences their wreckless commentary. His watch is out of frame most of the time and only comes into frame briefly while he's gesturing, and none of us can get the view we need. Bill Maher's production team should really be studying your videos and coaching their guests that the audience cannot understand what they are saying unless we can clearly see their watches.

The best thing to do is accept what calls you and not overthink it. Also, I do not regard watches as jewelry.

Having both is definitely the way to go.

I have had an Omega Sea Master Pro (two tone with white dial) for the last 26 years - it has been the watch Ive worn the most of any- it is a wonderful watch. The Pelagos is on my short list to purchase. Don't under estimate the SeaMaster, if you own it you'll love it.

Thanks for the vid. I got interstd in radios, since I got very poor FM reception from my run of the mill grundig radios, and I see the models you mentiond vary quite a bit in price. What would you recommend as a first good quality wire-powered radio? I'd love to save all the research. Thanks again

When I try to wear my MM300 on the stock bracelet, it hurts my wrist like hell. It’s unwearable for me. Never had that experience with a bracelet, and I’ve worn heavier watches on a bracelet.

Excellent song, finally had time to listen to it entirely after 13 hours. Great job cereal killer 😅

You didn't say "Iconic", but you said "design language"lol

Great watch...no doubt. I have had the silver 6004 and black 6005 references...had ended selling the black one because the all black scheme lost all the details. Have the Ti bracelet and the black silocone strap...both perfect. I could look like big...but the Ti and case design make it lost in your wrist. This model is known as the Citizen Kraken in the community and it is about the all diamond squeme on dial and insert that remember a kraken skin. Thank you Jeffrey for you review!

First 😅

Yeah the Pelagos is a pretty awesome diver watch. I'm out of the market for watches now, but I did stop by a Tudor AD one day while killing time as my wife shopped and tried on the Pelagos 39 mm. I liked it A LOT. But not enough to part with $4500! I agree the Pelagos works best on its bracelet. Tudor provides you with a rubber strap that has to be worn with the bracelet's end-links that I didn't find particularly comfortable. The rubber was stiff and the look was kind of weird with the end-links installed.

Jeff, do what feels right to you. Great video!

ChatGPT will make our kids dumber in many ways. It is less of a tool and more of an obstacle.

Yup World War Z is great! I wish they would make the damn sequel.

Great to see you back! World War Z is one of my favorite zombie movies. 👍 Additionally, you’re never too old to buy what you like, regardless of what the object is 🤙

Just finished Lost recently! What a run it was 🙌🏼 nice to see you enjoyed the meetup at Mimo's. The store and owner are all class. Will definitely have to swing by there again soon!

What are your thoughts on the Seiko LX collection, being sucha huge Seiko fan , I don’t see you talking about it a lot . Do you love any particular models ? Do you aspire to own one ? How is an LX not on your grail list ? Love the simple black dial SNR029 myself , what a beautiful watch that one is eh , perfection !

Noooooo , keep touching your chin . That’s your signature pose , it’s ICONIC . It wouldn’t feel like a Jeff McMahon video to me if I don’t see that pose !

Great to see you back on fine form. I used to go to a private watch gtg in the UK based around the WUS Affordables Forum. Like everything and everyone. It had a finite life. But I looked forward to them, and miss them now.

I recently read Watch Survivor and Watch Addiction Rules, and they really resonated with me. As funny and insightful as they were, they did shed a light on having an obsessive personality that I had never realized. Good stuff!

What’s in your watch box ?

I love your watch collection I would be very happy with it

- Jeezz…that was a long absence. I was concerned you lost your house and were living in a hotel with your family. I always assumed you touched your chin so we could appreciate your watch while you talked. I’ve got a Tecsun PL660, you convinced me to get it set up again. Do you use the short wave at all or have you given up on it since so few broadcasters these days?

Radios and hifi are cool, I used to have a GE Super Radio 3. Now I’m listening to the CCRadio 3.

I just watched the South Park episode on students using ChatGPT. Think you'd find it amusing if you haven't seen it.

I think your MM is cooler than the Pelagos. I wish I had a thicker wrist to wear a MM without hesitation.

Looking forward to your ChatGPT presentation

Touch your chin! Don't listen to people and change yourself! Funny we are going through something similar I had a fee people tell me to change who I was recently took it to account and I really tried to stop that thing I almost felt like a robot I'm balancing it out now feel like me again!

You should touch your chin, that is your signature move. Cool as hell.

Dude was wondering how you were doing with everything going on in your hood…glad to see you are ok. 63 is still young, keep on keeping on!

Like the inside baseball world of watch (and radio) obsessives. Speaking of destro lhd watches, guessing you're aware of Micromilspec Milgraph? Designed for military, grade 5 titanium, 42 mm x 15 mm, legible and limited production. So no impulse purchases, which is good. Glad there's air quality and radio waves.

Jeff, I’m 60 and I purchased a LHD Pelagos and I love it.

Whoever said not to touch your chin has really done this audience a disservice. Without your watch in the frame, I start to wonder who is this impostor on screen because the REAL McMahon trains with special kettlebell workouts to build the stamina to keep watches in frame for the entire presentation!

Jeff at aged 63 you have plenty of years left yet to enjoy a new Tudor. 😃

good seeing you again Jeff.

Sold all my watches 2 years ago except spb143, gen 3 orange monster and skx009. But now I secretly want a new Seiko presage or new Shog-Urai burgundy. Just when I thought I was out they suck me back in 😩

Hi Jeff, any idea as to where I might get the saturation diver? Do you still have yours?

This is all so freaking true!! Great points discussed here!
