- In this episode, Cameron and Matt explore materials - a bigger spread than we expected! We look at all the different types of watch cases you can get in today's modern watches, from Stainless Steel, Titanium, and precious metals like Gold and Platinum to man-made materials like PVD, Plastic, and Carbon Fiber, and more! With examples of each in studio, there's a material for every need and budget.

Come on Guys. If youre googling something let us have a look too. 😎😎
Exactly!!
it is not as easy as it seems espically for youtube
I am spanish and i am learn youre language with your podcast. Amazing job guys!
You talk materials for watches and no talk of Rado? They were one of the firsts to do a tungsten carbide case and to do ceramic. Also the first watch company to have their first metalergy department.
The mint green Weiss is nice
I know people complain about the 3 minutes of “ad” at the beginning of the videos. But people, it’s at the beginning! At least ya’ll don’t do those cut aways some podcasts/videos do like, “Speaking of leather, Cameron, audible...”. These guys are doing an awesome job! Never thought I would spend an hour listening about materials. 😂
Tudor episode in the works 🤞
I would like to see a Tudor episode
I'd love to see Matt try and service a watch on stream. Maybe a lower end seiko mod or any vintage USSR watch, just something cheaper we can laugh at when he breaks it (and mayhe even pick up the parts to fix it later).
Finally lol been craving this show
this feeds my watch addiction without me browsing websites for watches and buying one at 3am.... thanks for keeping me hooked but saving money!
Ive seen some people will do a clear gloss wrap over their forged carbon, looks 1000x better than how it comes from the factory!
The Green one though......... Nice...
Very interesting conversation. Keep it up!
Lamborghini does not use pressed carbon fiber. They make forged carbon fiber and Lamborghini in conjunction with Boeing created the process to actually forge carbon fiber much in the same way steel is forged. Lamborghini has their composite research facility in Seattle Washington, along with Boeing, they have developed many innovations in composite technologies. And it does not look cheap at all. It has an almost marbled look to it. It’s not a cheap process at all. Forged carbon fiber has made its way into the watch world and looks stunning. Audemars Piguet has a Royal Oak Offshore done in Forged Carbon Fiber, along with IWC, and new watch company Creux Automatiq.

Maybe do a episode about the different buckle/clasps types. Simple claps all the way to a diver tri-fold with push button clasp. Their history and development and maybe why one is better/saver than the other.
As always the moment it came live and I had the time to watch I stopped work to view the latest episode.
Platinum is usually combined with either Iridium or Ruthenium. Modern watches usually are 95:5 Platinum:other, but from what I can tell the older the watch the more likely it was 90:10. The 90:10 version, especially with Iridium, is much harder and scratch resistant.
diamond like carbon is much stronger than a PVD (which like powder coating)...DLC was developed at Argonne National Laboratory. I have had piston pins which were DLC coated to reduce friction.
Why are you uploading so early I love it
Glad to see the both of you guys are OK. Was concerned the Californian Bushfires impacted on you adversely. Welcome back and best wishes to Mrs Weiss and bubby.
Lange & Söhne does also pure white gold without any plating. I think the yellowish glow look far better that white gold by Rolex etc.
If I didn't have a wedding to pay for I would have bought a "Birdie", hears to hoping there is a next time. Awesome work...
One of my favorite precious metal watches I've seen was a white gold Breitling aerospace. Made you kind of scratch your head and wonder why it would even exist, but the owner loved how under the radar it was and the weight was fantastic compared to the usual titanium ones
At 50:50 it looks like the Rehaut (if that is the correct word) of the Omega is bent. First i thought it was a distorsion by the crystal but the second had moved without it, so it looks like a mnufacturing error.
Pelagos is such a nice watch... just wish it was a little smaller.
sillo Tudor's noticed people like vintage watches, but they've yet to work out that people *also* like smaller sizes
Love the show but you really need to get somebody to do the camera work. I always watch on RUclips so I can see the watch you are referencing but the amount of the you forget to change the camera because you have gotten sucked into your conversation
I like vintage chronos...but actual vintage ones, not homages... and many vintage ones cost no more than modern homages
Why does the Tudor Pelagos second hand have a jump occasionally?
Wish you guys had a subject matter expert on to help out with the discussion.
Wish would you have talked about Sinn, Dieva and Damasko.
"So heavy". How heavy? Compared to a gold Rolex, compared to a stainless TAG... something we can relate to.
heavy for something of its size. Go try on a watch on steel, then try on the same model in a precious metal and you will know what he is talking about
It is the Apollo 11 mission patch on the back of the Omega. You know "The eagle has landed" that is why Neil Armstrong said that. They "were" the eagle.
But yea china will make british company target brand darts made of 95 percent tungsten machined incredibly intricate and with multiple color dlc coatings for 100$ and tungsten is as tough and hard.So yea I can't see why rolex cant make tungsten cases other than they wouldn't wear out.
Do the movie watch episode
would prefer a darker green
I miss my Pelagos =(
Don't give a damn about watches, and don't care what time it is so don't wear one. What about the new 992? Oh wrong channel, still a good listen...and watch.
Matt is too macho to give this comment a ❤️. Glad you two are back in the studio.
Titanium is not harder than steel,get your facts straight.
Also that seconds hand on the Breitling does not align perfectly at all,which is annoying as hell+you kind of expect more at this price point and from this brand.
Aaman Nadal I wouldn't be surprised if the seconds weren't supposed to line up, but to fall a specific distance behind each marker
You are right about the titanium. Had a tissot t touch expert titanium solar with the titanium bracelet, and it scratched super easy. It was however really easy to remove them with a scotch brite or 3000 sanding foam pad. Going in straight lines to keep the brushed look in tact. But yeah super light, corrosion immune virtually. But very prone to scuffs and such.
