An Alternative to "Talking Watches"

http://gearpatrol.com/2015/09/29/no-...dam-craniotes/

Hey Guys:

I love Ben Clymer's interviews over on HODINKEE, but today I came across a new site (to me anyway) called GEAR PATROL.

They discuss multiple topics, but their Watch Section is pretty awesome.

The above link is to a great interview with this guy named Adam Craniotes. What most got my attention was his reasoning for being passionate about watch collecting...

I just wish my mother could lend me some money for my next purchase!

Good video and much better as 'talking watches' these days if you ask me.
I met Adam aswell, received some of the RedBarCrew members here in Belgium last July with our BelgiumWatchClub. Bringing people together who have a passion for wristwatches is certainly something we do have in common

Gear Patrol and Hodinkee are buddies. Clymer has interviewed for them too. Both good sites.
