I know that some of the watch collectors and listeners are probably going to throw up in their mouths when I say this,

but I have to say under the right circumstances,

buy a broken watch. When I first got into watch collecting around 2011,

I was so terrified of buying a counterfeit watch.

And so my logic at the time was,

who would take the time to sell a counterfeit broken watch if

you're going to counterfeit a watch it's going to be working and it's going to be

pristine so by buying a broken watch I can inoculate myself from the world of counterfeit watches

It's super funny. I've never heard that strategy before but it actually like that theory seems to hold water like that makes a lot of sense

I mean if you're going to take the time to

counterfeit a watch and sell it like it's probably going to work. Oh, Hey everybody I'm your host Stephen Pulverin and this is Hodincky Radio. We are deep in the dog days of summer now. It is way

too hot outside New York City. So I thought I would start things off this week by

sitting down with James, John, and Cole to talk about summer watches.

We ran a story a few weeks ago on the site about it,

but the four of us sat down and talked about

why we're wearing the watches we're wearing this summer.

And if we could design our own dream summer watch, what that would

look like. Then we've got my conversation with Daniel Miller, who's a staff writer at the

L.A. Times and the host of his own podcast, Larger Than Life.

Larger Than Life is a show about L.A. Street Race Organizer Big Willie Robinson, and it's

fantastic.

You should definitely go give it a listen.
