Watch Expert Eric Wind - TST Podcast

[@MDchaz]

Great show 👍 Eric Wind is such a wealth of knowledge and a trustworthy person in the sometimes questionable world of secondhand watches.

[@MR2D2AL]

Matt knows that many car enthusiasts eventually become watch nerds, and he trusts those of us who aren’t there yet to catch up. He also brings the conversation back to car analogies frequently for frame of reference. I think this was masterfully done, and will result in new recruits to the watch hobby. And I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@carguy3645]

I loved this episode man. Please do more watch content. I don’t know if I love cars or watches more but I think I love them both equally. I watch you guys all the time. Keep up the awesome work! Cheers.

[@nothingaboutme.]

I went to high school with Eric. Very neat to see him on the podcast!

[@harrison1056]

I absolutely love how many references to Carl are in this one, and I'm only 35 minutes in. Hell yes to keeping him alive. Side note, made my day when I wore the Blipshit shirt of him, someone recognized him on it and actually wanted to talk food last summer at a local brewery. I wore that shirt buying my first Grand Seiko and got two compliments on the taste quote on the back of it from people at the AD. Later that day, I stained the front of it with BBQ sauce eating some great BBQ pork sliders at the only local joint that charged a reasonable amount for Blanton's and also makes some fantastic cheese curds.

Loved the ep, there can never be enough watch conversations.

[@chrissiebenaler8403]

Never clicked on a TST episode so fast. Awesome episode!

[@ebbs0000]

I don't know why i listen to this podcast just makes me feel like a peasant. Keep up the good work man!! Loved this episode

[@Nightmaretyrant]

Bro hearing all these rich dudes on TST inspired me to become an entrepreneur, before I just assumed you work a normal job forever then die now im trying to buy a Testarossa 😂

[@Tyler97GSX]

Great show! As a listener that has become more interested in watches, this guest was appreciated! It would have been nice to ask Eric some car questions as he stated he was becoming interested in them at the beginning of the show.

[@poto008]

Met Eric about 5 years ago in FL at a home auction, great guy and extremely passionate/knowledgeable. Glad to see you guys get together.

[@cookingwithkaspar7436]

excellent show,, love the ikepod!

[@sergh8605]

I’m so happy to see from time to time a topic that interested you Matt. Thank you for the content

[@RogerM88]

Don't get the obsessive topic about exclusive wristwatches. Most car enthusiasts are actually more likely into power tools, just as myself. If you talked about some exclusive power tools as tools for a DIY garage, I'd be salivating and hyped.

[@CrispyCars]

I feel the same way about watches as I do diamonds. It's just some overpriced item that people buy to climb the "status ladder". As much as i'd like to listen to tooltalk, Matt would probably admit himself that he's never used one.

[@reflex8698]

Well if that isn’t the most fitting last name ever! Can’t watch until tomorrow morning but I had to comment that

[@michaelbarkman1105]

Great podcast....I like the change up from cars. I too am a watch and car guy.

[@galactictomato1434]

If you're not into watches skip to 1:48:24

[@grantgwyn1992]

I'm only 30mins in but really enjoying this episode. I don't get to watch the podcasts very often so it's a nice change.

[@fastdays_1]

I'm a regular listener and I can say the lowkey brag from Mat is always there..the father, the 2 navy Rolex, etc etc...he tries to stay lowkey but from time to time he has to brag.

[@joeplatz7289]

Love this episode, nice mix and change. Also love your watches Matt, totally agree with your embracing of creativity. I have a lot of great watches, but my favorite are the ones with a story and with some uniqueness.

[@redblind]

I picked up an automatic Seiko just to test the waters and see if I'd wear it, but the bug didn't bite. For some reason I still enjoy listening to conversations about watches, though. I can appreciate the craftsmanship and their mechanical nature.

[@JasonCohenphoto]

Hell yeah!

[@bencausey]

I’m a watch lover, and I’m so thankful for this crossover episode. I learned a lot.

[@co88jo]

I just switched over from the audio podcast and for once this guy looks exactly like what he sounds

[@cliveadamson91]

Matt do you have any quartz watches or not ?

[@Chainwhips]

Theres 3 types of people, Nautilus, Royal Oak, or VC 222 (the underrated best imo)

[@frankom1528]

fantastic show ..... PLEASE MORE WATCHES ASAP

[@TandyTerrison]

Start a different podcast for this shit

[@prowler13prowler]

Great episode....the non car related content is a welcome breath of fresh air one in a while, especially with such cool guests. And Matts exp 2 is a great watch with an even better story that shows what collecting is about imo. The 2 deep seas are on the other end of the spectrum 😂

[@schmoopyboopy]

Nice to have something different from the usual car talk. Eric's great! Thanks for making this happen.

[@_IMNNO]

I didn’t know Mr. Roger Farah has a Patek 5711 😮.

[@Petrospect]

Really enjoying this episode so far; for the "use the watch"/"drive your porsche" thing, my dad's panda '93 Breitling Chronomat he has had since new sat in a drawer for about 10 years, I had him recommission it and then he wore it truly sparingly and he asked me "do you want it"...I've been daily wearing it ever since and I'm struck how well it holds up. I had a 2541.80 Seamaster that held up like dogshit to daily use, you could not wear it and not need the odd polish here and there, I'm impressed how well the Breitling is. I've seen similar age Pepsi GMTs irl that were worn as such for years that look like they've been through a warzone; underrated feature of this watch right there, it definitely depends! Edit: Matt just mentioned his 27 mins in being beat the fuck up! There ya go! 🤣

[@jjmot27]

I have two Seiko Bellmatics, and even though I never actually use them as an alarm they’re very very cool watches

[@Bob_Smith19]

I don’t understand the hate of quartz watches. I understand the appreciation of mechanical movements for their engineering. But modern quartz movements, especially Solar GPS, are superior in every way. The movement itself is more accurate. W/ solar you don’t have to worry about battery changes. And w/ GPS-Atomic sync the watch is always accurate and you don’t have to ever adjust it(outside of traveling across time zones). There’s a reason I most often wear a Seiko Astron or Casio Oceanus. Seiko made the mistake of not going for the kill and allowing the Swiss industry to survive. Now they’re trying to be like them and are increasing their prices while not giving you products worth the cost. Specs aren’t everything but micro brands give you better value in some cases. But even w/ them you have a lot them charging more than the sum of the parts because of hype around the brand.

CYBERTRUCK

[@ChrisStack22]

If you like Rowan’s Creek, try Noah’s Mill. Same distillery and way better bourbon (and still not that $$).

[@WatchReporter]

I bought a watch from Eric a few years ago. Good experience. The dude on the right is a joe rogan wannabe.

[@Emm2004]

Talk about cyber truck already

[@Bob_Smith19]

Why? He can’t be objective about it. Just watch Jason Camisa’s review. He didn’t see to have anything as to say which was the odd part.

[@Catbert814]

Honestly rather listen to a elon truck episode. I couldnt make it through this one

[@CrispyCars]

Who cares about that thing. Seriously the dumbest vehicle ever.

[@codyswope85]

Holy crap, this guy says yep and yeah to everything.

[@deanlambert8758]

Not necessarily a watch enthusiast, but I - like many people- just like to look at these kinds of watches and kind of aspire to them. Enjoy the quality of a nicely engineered 'thing'. This was a fascinating listen

[@siggy6044]

I wish these guests that turn this into a watch podcast were featured on a bonus weekend show or something. Just not interesting to hear about jewelry

Watch collecting is fun but your wallet will quickly grow to hate you lol

[@Bob_Smith19]

@@edkwononly if you let it. It’s gotten a lot more expensive over the years. Blame the internet for that part.

[@jjmot27]

@@Bob_Smith19 funny enough, my expensive watch taste has gone down over time, because I’ve hit the point where instead of spending $5k+ on a watch I would rather just get a crappy fun car

Never been this early on a podcast!

[@xprettylightsx]

Fun fact, the host of this podcast is a proud socialist. If you had any idea what that ideal is doing to the United States of America, you would have a very different opinion of that line of thinking.

[@creilly907]

Appreciate the feedback on the Birth Year watch. There is a novelty of it, but good to know how uncertain it really is. Turning 50 and was looking for that 70"s era Rolex or Speedy as a gift to myself. Know now to look for condition and look, not necessarily the exact date presented.

[@elpepito957]

Great show, I really hope there's more watch episodes in the future, loved the carl episodes on watch and listen

[@philincaundo]

I will never understand the obsession with watches. Cannot be convinced its anything but insecure flexing and vapid consumerism. Has to be a skip for me

[@RevJesse]

Many people feel the same way about cars. Just because it’s not your thing doesn’t invalidate other people’s enthusiasm/appreciation for said object, hobby, etc.

[@StephenDavidson5359]

Tiny mechanical machine that keeps time. I find them, and all other machines fascinating. Not thousand of dollars worth of fascinating but…Seiko has helped me scratch the itch for less than $100.

[@mapko15]

Who just wears watches around the house thats just so odd to me, unless you're a psycho that also wears shoes in your house all the time

[@Bob_Smith19]

What? You must be younger. Putting a watch after a shower in the morning has been my ritual since I was a little kid. But I use a watch for its intended purpose, to tell the time. I do not want to pull my phone out to check the time. I don’t have many clocks in the house so the watch tells me the time.

[@mapko15]

@Bob_Smith19 yeah I'm 32 and I only pull one of my watches out if I'm going somewhere and even then not all the time

[@fastdays_1]

The Ikepod is extremely overrated and over hyped: honestly the design is very bland and nothing special (and actually most of the models looks bad). I would put my 8k on something else for sure.

[@juice-opinion]

i'm casually interested in watches and have a small collection -- but i'm not a watch fanatic. if you're gonna do off-topic episodes can you at least use chapter markers?

[@StefanoMaggio]

Great episode! For cooking the Panerai regatta, the Tudor FXD chrono. But just get an Orologi Calamai g50!
