Small Seconds Podcast

Four friends who were spending 90% of their time chatting about watches to anyone that would (or wouldn’t) listen. They’ve chosen instead to record this podcast and give people the option to hear about just how good the F-91w is, or how the small second dial isn’t actually a complication, and many other important topics. Aside from pure horological passion, expect many slip ups, guesses and probably a fair amount of swearing (sorry mum).
