Rolex Writes A Ransom Note, Assessing Steel Alternatives, Seiko Opens A Shoe Store, And The Bop It Watch

This week on the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast, the venerable Rick, Ariel, and David are back with a full agenda! The team starts off by spending over 12 minutes discussing how Rolex bungled its first titanium production watch, then segues into discussing two other watch materials, bronze and alumin(i)um. The guys then discuss Omega's cryptic announcement on Instagram, suggesting that whatever it is, it will likely be disappointing and too expensive. Moving along, the staggering number of Seiko releases last year, more musings on Brick Watch Company, and Panerai responds to last week's ABTW Weekly episode. Plus, Ariel and David express admiration for an unexpected brand! 2:15 Hands-On With Rolex's First Attempt At A Titanium Watch, The Rolex Deepsea Challenge14:58 Actually Affordable: Bronze Watches17:44 A Look At The Past & Present Of The Bulgari Aluminium Watch Collection24:45 aBlogtoWatch Weekly: How Ulysse Nardin Shattered The Mold With The Freak25:30 The team offers its guesses on OMEGA's "Tiny device.
