Former CIA and Creator of Ares Watches Matt Graham | BRCC

This gentleman seems like the ultimate operator. He's hyper competent, emotionally intelligent - emotionally neutral, excellent memory and processing- a bear that comes across as a Teddy Bear. Wish we had more like him.

[@3ncrypt3dcod3s]

I wish he would address all the controversy with the quality control of Ares. Most of us do our research before dropping $2000 on a timepiece and the QC issues are the elephant in the room that stops a lot of people from purchasing his watch.

[@jeffoberry144]

Unfortunately they don’t address it. I’ve had 3 fail on me and I work at a desk. If they address this maybe I’d give them another shot but until then I’ll go Swiss.

[@newgunguy4176]

Needs to up the QC, man. I've been dying for one but, can't get one until they fix the issues.

[@tommyd3856]

Awesome questions as always, Mike. And what a cool impressive guy Matt seems like. Certainly going to be checking out his watches. Thank you!

[@jmo2640]

This dude is a very impressive human!

[@derekdahl6567]

His old videos were knowledge bombs. Hope he does more

[@JP-gl5hw]

Awesome show. Fellow watch lover of Ares. Found him threw W.O.E.

[@jasonfunk65]

I love my Diver-1. My wife got it for me back in February of 2020 before we got married on October 1st 2022. This Diver-1 was on my wrist when I got married. Has been a trustworthy companion on other significant moments of my life.

I still watch the Graham Combat series of videos on KZbin simply to be reminded of the nuggets of wisdom Matt Graham lays out. “What if grasshoppers carried .45’s? Birds wouldn’t f’ck with them so much.”

Man these get me through the weekly morning drives. Love it. Monday best day 🫡

[@jondavidmcnabb]

I love this guy and he is awesome, but Rolex movements are better than ETA movements any damn day of the week... This is not a Chevy vs Ford argument either. Rolex is the tank of watch movements.

[@markroper9269]

Love the podcast! I will keep an eye out for the plastic watches.....rocking my second Casio Sport triple sensor. You guys are fun to listen to! I am from Burke, VA....didn't know that Pentagon City had tattoo expo's! Very thoughtful to provide so much personalized swag to your guests...you rock!!! 😝

I can't wait for your new store in waco TX

Wait... Waco?! Oh right that Siege...

[@negativeionz]

What an incredible interview. I have to watch as many of Matt Graham's videos as I can find. I feel like I can learn so much from him in being a better martial arts instructor. I already try to meet my students where they enter my life in skills, talent, and experience, but man, after seeing this I know I can do better and it gives me focus.

[@stevengrumley-uo8je]

So interesting. Thanks Mike, Matt and BRCC.

[@jaredchandler4491]

What a great guy🇺🇸🤙🏼

[@pyeitme508]

Super nice man 😎

[@Nutty2087]

I trained with him. He’s hilarious. *let me clarify. I meant I trained at his course he taught when he was doing Graham Combat. It was a cool 3 day course.

[@spearinternational4460]

I trained with him too. Don’t remember him saying a word

[@Nutty2087]

@SGT MAJ PLUMLEY let me rephrase… he trained me. I took his course at Graham Combat.

[@Nutty2087]

@@spearinternational4460 I clarified my statement because it sounded like trained together instead of I’m a civilian he trained in his program.

[@Nutty2087]

@@spearinternational4460 but in the class I took he was really funny.

[@texasdogg8498]

You just got to drag Evan in there and somehow seperate him from his socks and shoes. We are getting down to the wire here. Do whatever it takes. Ok heres an idea, cut the bottoms out of his regular sneakers, replace the bottoms with a see-through glass material and then simply follow him all day long filming each of his steps so that you can see the soles of his feet as he walks, put it in slow motion and stretch the footage out to a couple hours and then guess what? That's your podcast.

[@texasdogg8498]

@SGT MAJ PLUMLEY That's hot too

[@davidwatts7390]

Matt has videos on youtube that should be checked out by everyone!! This guy brings the education in his courses and is a phenomenal instructor!!! Not sure if he still offers courses, but would love to train with Matt!!

[@cdalton3169]

I just bought a Diver 1 from Ares. Amazing story from Matt! Inspiring. Can’t wait to get it. I chose this Diver 1 Special Project over the Rolex Sub because it supports Matt and is American made. I know where the money is going. I know the quality of the watch I’ll be getting. Stellar content!

Thanks for listening

Why cant we have one of these guys as a president

[@user-tw8ov]

The system is owned by evil scum

[@PeteMiller]

Awesome looking watches; a bit rich for my blood though...

[@PeteMiller]

@SGT MAJ PLUMLEY I hear you; probably more that I can’t justify spending that kind of money on a watch! I have a Garmin Fenix 6 Pro and an Armourlite Isobrite watch as my two timepieces.

[@Ras7685]

Excellent conversation....thanks for letting us ease drop !

[@outdoordad949]

I’d be super into the plastic watch that can take a beating. I have to clear a metal detector several times a day for work and I’ve killed several g shocks in the course of my career

[@jasonolivar2518]

An Ares watch sounds amazing and looks amazing.

[@josephmitchell1513]

Awesome show guys!

[@lexshpil8232]

Super Kool 👌

[@dalewalters357]

Excellent!

[@TexasThunder.338]

I met Matt right after the Diver-1 was released. Really humble and generous guy. Got to check out the Rolex GMT gifted to him from Ken Hackathorn. 🤙

[@DrRichMahogany]

Matt reminds me of a bad ass Tom Segura.

[@barry6557]

That's a sweet time piece

[@jcwfh]

The countdown bezel on Ares watches is genius

[@nicholasjones6629]

I mean this in a purely comical way... I really hope that painting in the background is named 'The last supper'.

[@kevinswanson1323]

Hey brother, the watch you found in the parking lot, that you talked about in the show was a LUMINOX STEALTH watch. Thanks for what you do!

[@Realbeardedgamerdad]

❤️🇺🇸👍🏻🥃

[@catherinecarriger1545]

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Sounds like an amazing man. How about a ladies watch?

Awesome interview!! It's good to see great Americans crushing it. Can't wait to see what's to come from @blackriflecoffee and from @areswatches. Looking forward to the Under $400 offerings. #blackriflecoffee #areswatchco.
