**Hello everyone, Nicholas here. This week's episode is late for one of two reasons: One, I forgot to schedule it for publication or two, Anchor messed up. I've been having issues with Anchor lately and would love to find a new provider tbh. Regardless, apologies, but enjoy!**
This week on The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com, John, Victor, and Nicholas break down their top 10-ish favorite watches under $1,000. But before that, John has some follow-up on a watch that, ahem, greatly resembles a Rolex GMT Master II.
Timestamps (we're trying a new format for these, hopefully they work!)
(0:00) John's thoughts on his "GMT Master II"

Hello and welcome to The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are Victor (@vmarks on Twitter) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). John is away this week. He sends his regards.
**For a video version of this podcast, simply visit our YouTube channel.**
This week, Victor and Nicholas primarily discuss three big topics: Seestern's new Pelagos homage and how it compares to similar pieces from the likes of Heimdallr, and why you'd want to spend $300 on an homage versus a rep; Rolex's certified pre-owed program; the Belhamel Contra A40; and some DIY watch project stuff. We also briefly mention some big New York Times article on replica handbags, which *we think* is relevant but we didn't actually read the article.
We also bring back audio podcast chapters with this episode. Adding chapters tacks on several more minutes to post-production so hopefully someone out there appreciates them. If your podcast player supports chapters you can more easily skip around to different segments of the episode. Many of the most popular podcast apps, including Apple Podcasts, Overcast, and Pocket Casts, support podcasts, but I (Nicholas) don't know offhand if Spotify does. I guess we'll see!
Thanks once again to Andrew Haworth for his help producing this week's episode.

This week we primarily discuss three watches: the Graham Fortress Green, the Christopher Ward Twelve, and, your main event of the evening, the very summery Timex T80. Do we like them? Do we meh them? There's only one way to find out!

We may have lost our blue checks but we're still here!
Victor is out sick this week, so this is a quick episode.
John and Nicholas touch on three big topics this week: Boldr's new Pokémon collab, the bronze Baltic Aquascaphe Morron, and whether or not it's possible to become literal friends with someone because of the watch they're wearing.
Good clean fun!

This week, the gang mostly discusses the murky world of replica watches, better known as "reps." It seems John is tempted by the idea of buying a rep GMT Master II, so we hash out live on the air what he should do.
There are a few other topics but that's the gist this week.

Hello everyone, Nicholas here.
This is just a quick public service announcement to let you know that The HourTime Show is now on YouTube.
Our channel is YouTube.com/@wristwatchreview, and there you'll find our video episodes. Any and all WristWatchReview.com video content will live there too, with this dedicated playlist hosting HourTime itself.
The audio-only version of the pod isn't going anywhere, but we thought it would be fun to make a video option available for folks.
Thanks!

This is a shorter episode this week because John had what's known in the business as a "hard out." Meaning, he had a work thing to do right after.
But the pod never sleeps! (OK, we occasionally sleep.)
This week we tackle all of Rolex's new releases that were announced at Watches and Wonders this year. Your hosts' reactions are... mixed. We then tackle the Oris ProPilot X Kermit and get into where all these cutesy watch collabs came from.
There's a bit more but that's the gist!

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are Victor (@vmarks) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon). John is traveling this week and couldn't record.
WE HAVE NEWS!!!
This week's episode is our very first attempt at creating a video podcast. You can watch it HERE.
For various reasons we've been wanting to experiment with producing a video edition of The HourTime Show for a few months now, and we've finally decided to give it a shot.
The audio podcast will not got away! But, we basically wanted to give folks an option of watching video since we know that's important to folks. There will be some bugs as we figure out the workflow, but hopefully everything works properly.
For now, the video version will be found on YouTube. Again, you can click here to watch the first episode. Like and subscribe, and all that. (Yes, it's being hosted on my personal YouTube channel for now.) We might expand it to other platforms (like Spotify) but I (Nicholas) don't actually know how that will affect the audio feed. If anyone at there does know please tweet me or email me at [email protected].
If you have any suggestions or anything like that please email the show at [email protected], tweet us, or ping us on Discord.
All credit to Andrew Haworth for producing both the audio and video edition of The HourTime Show!
As for this week's episode, we tackle a bunch of subjects including Rolex's alleged production increases and whether or not we think Tissot is the new Tudor. What does that mean? No one knows what it means but it's provocative. It gets the people going!

Hello and welcome to yet another exciting edition of The HourTime Show, the official podcast of WristWatchReview.com. Your hosts this week are John (@johnbiggs on Twitter) and Nicholas (@nicholasadeleon).
With Victor away this week John and Nicholas decide to break down what exactly is "off" with the latest MoonSwatch release. How did something that was universally well-received end up becoming... whatever this is?
Pretty decent convo on how the vibe has shifted.
There's a bit more but that's the gist.
