Episode 180 features another main topic suggested by the amazing TGN Supporter Crew as Jason and James dig into a conversation about watches that both feel are overlooked in today’s market. Likely the start of a new series, the TGN boys picked a handful of brands (the sorts they are always talking about) and tried to uncover some hidden gems within their current lineups. We’ve got some titanium from Oris, smaller Omegas, solar Seikos, and a whole lot more.

Did we miss anything? Let us know in the comments and be sure to stay in the mix as James is binging 90’s “Dad Thrillers” thanks to an excellent essay and Jason has his eye on some gorgeous watch-themed art.

I've been saving for a BB41/36 for a long time now and that ~9% price increase in January hit me right in the soul. Anyone with larger wrists (~7.5") have any thoughts on the 41 vs. 36? I tried on the 41 (on bracelet of course) but the jewelry store didn't have a 36 on bracelet so I didn't get a good comparison.

I think great overlooked watch from Seiko (that doesn't popup on Instagram that much either) is Seiko 5 series redesign of their field watches. For example SRPG31K1 https://www.seikowatches.com/global-en/products/5sports/srpg31k1. And also Certina DS Action... Great episode, cheers
