This week we got one of our good friends, Mike Nouveau on the pod. All right, your favorite watch collector's favorite watch collector. When I met you, you were DJing.

[Dizza]

Yeah, I was a DJ up until Covid.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Okay. So then Covid was kind of like, was Covid the thing?

[Dizza]

So I was already doing watch stuff before that, but I was doing both at the same time. And it's kind of like when I started DJing, I had day jobs. And then when I started the DJing kind of started popping off a bit. Then I was like, okay, I don't need the day job anymore.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

And then Covid happened and put the kai posh on DJing. And then I was like, I've already been selling watches and doing well with it, so let me just do this full time.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

That's basically when I really just. And also with COVID the vintage market kind of exploded.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

So that helped also.

[Eddie]

I loved that watch. You, you, dizza. And the guys, like, I love. In the pandemic, when watch sales, vintage watch dealing became like one of the lanes. Because before it was like, if you were a DJ and you hit a certain age and you were just like, I don't want to be out this late at night anymore. It's like, am I going to own a restaurant and am I going to be a creative director? Or, like, God forbid, am I a barber? Fuck, I got to be a barber. Watch dealing is like an elegant graduation.

[Dizza]

I saw a lot of. A lot of DJ colleagues. Kind of like it was a good opportunity for, you know, your friend who owns like 2% of a bar, like, or, you know, as a manager at a bar or dj, you make, like, kind of an elegant exit or pivot because it gave you. You didn't have to be like, oh, I'm so embarrassed this career didn't work out. It was Covid. Everything shut down. Everyone moved on to something else.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dizza]

And you know, I have some friends who are, you know, my age who are. Who kind of like held on and kept DJing. And I feel a little like sad for them, honestly. Not like, you know, not so we're not talking about superstar DJs. We're talking about just like the local guy yeoman DJs, you know.

[Eddie]

Holding the neighborhood down and the girl holding.

[Mike]

But we need DJs. You, we need them. So there has to be some that hang. Like we need, we need fun, we need music.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Shout out Jinx man. Eric Duncan still DJing, still shredding. Like he holds it down. He's the one DJ left in the fantasy league since Dizza retired.

[Mike]

Damn.

[Dizza]

You know, Dizzy not DJ anymore. I mean, I know he's got a million things going on.

[Eddie]

He still, I think is managing, does like like elite gig.

[Dizza]

He's like the mayor of Miami.

[Eddie]

Good enough for Dizza.

[Dizza]

Stone island calls he made 25k and up only.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. Stone island dizzle will put the cape.

[Dizza]

Back on, you know.

[Mike]

What do you think it was in Covid just as a, I guess consumer or like watch buyer. I wouldn't even call myself a watch buyer, but it was like watching the market, like everyone bought a watch.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Do you like everyone? You know, then got into watches. People that I've never even taught.

[Dizza]

Like I was like, oh, a lot of people. I just think people had some nothing to do.

[Mike]

Yeah. Like you had a little bit of money. Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

This is the most rich man and, and like we, we not living like this anymore. But it. I never cared about watches. I never wanted watches. I thought it was like stupid to have that much bread arm.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But then what happened was I had custom made a engagement ring for her. But the day before I was going to propose, I got nervous and I was like, what if she doesn't like this? It isn't a brand name, cuz she's like in the luxury and brand names and all this stuff.

[Mike]

But also I. He was like, what if you were to ever get engaged, like could you show me what ring you want? Like I made him a deck of a ring and it was the ring that he had designed. It was literally I had like slides of like this is what I want the pot.

[Eddie]

But then I just like, you know, the day before you propose to somebody, you just, you start to just like, yo, am I good enough? Is this y. I. I just started to bug. So I walked into Cartier and just bought the nicest emerald cut Pave diamond off the floor at Cartier and was like, all right, I'm gonna propose with two rings. Because I don't want her to think.

[Mike]

Hilariously paid for it with like, didn't you like Apple pay for it? Cuz I had your card.

[Eddie]

Forgot. Yeah, she had my card, so I had the Apple pay, but I Apple paid this ring off the floor at Cartier. Crazy.

[Dizza]

You better make sure they have that in your buyer record for when you go and ask for a crash or something.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Oh, they have it.

[Eddie]

They have the record gifts. Every Chinese New Year cardier be sending crazy gifts because this is wild behavior. The story gets better.

[Mike]

The story gets better.

[Eddie]

And I got. I got nervous and so I proposed with two rings and was like, look, this is the one I designed you. But I copped this one off the floor. So, you know, I'm willing to pay for a brand name, but you pick which one you want.

[Mike]

So it was disorienting to be proposed to with two boxes. And I. Cause I was like, is this like a trick? Like, I was like, is this a joke? Are you tr. Like, what am I on like Jeopardy. Or something? Am I supposed to answer the question? Like, I don't know. But then he was like, yeah, pick which one you want. And of course.

[Dizza]

And the refundable. The other one.

[Mike]

Oh, well, so we'll get into it. So. Because I think you had told. Was her name Karen?

[Eddie]

Yes, Karen at Cardia.

[Mike]

You had told her the situation and she was like, that's no problem. If she chooses the other ring, you can bring this back. It's totally like, we'll be. It'll be fine. Just like, don't scratch it. Right. The. So come to find out. So that night we're like hyped. We just got engaged. We're like, it's. We're having a good time. We're on like Cloud11 and we're at dinner. We went to Muso and Frank's after just the two of us. And I like had the. And I'm. I'm like, I don't know which ring I want. Like it. I never thought I would get a ring. I never thought I would get two.

[Eddie]

I'm going to keep it fun. There's photos of her going like this. Yeah.

[Mike]

Because we're having the lottery.

[Eddie]

She won the lottery. And it's like, I'm that. And she was.

[Mike]

No, it wasn't even about that. It was just like our moment together. And then it was fun. And we were like, which one looks better? Like what looks better on my hand? Like, I'm a big, like.

[Dizza]

And one fell in the chicken parm.

[Eddie]

Well, no.

[Mike]

So the only thing that can scratch a diamond is another diamond, right?

[Dizza]

Oh, God.

[Mike]

I didn't know that. I thought everyone tells you, like, it's so fudgeing hard to scratch a diamond. They're like, it's. It's such a strong material. Right.

[Eddie]

Cardiac Crash.

[Mike]

So I have in, like. It's so funny. I have, like, videos of me, like, in bed. I have both of them on the same man bumping. They're bombing each other. And then. So I decide I like the one that he designed. It's just, like, more sentimental anyways. And so I'm like, let's take this one back. And.

[Eddie]

Great.

[Mike]

We'll go be fun. We'll, like, go to Cartier. We'll have fun. We go and we, like, give them the ring. They take the ring in the back, and they're. And then somebody just comes out, like, the face. They're like, we'll take a screenshot of your party, guys.

[Eddie]

This ring has been in a crash. They're like.

[Mike]

They're like, why don't you come back? Why don't we have a. Why don't we have a glass of champagne? So we're, like, sitting there, and they're like, so the ring is scratched, and we can't take it back. So now this man's bank account has. He's paid for two engagement rings. And I will say, you didn't skimp out. No, you didn't skimp out at all anywhere. So I'm just, like, sitting there like, oh, my God, I've scratched the ring. This is, like, my issue. I've done this. I'm in trouble. And then I think I blacked out, so you can finish the story. I was just sitting there sweating and having a panic attack when Hollywood was.

[Eddie]

Still paying me, like, six figures just to write scripts and put them.

[Mike]

Business was good. The economy was booming.

[Eddie]

Here, put this in a drawer. Give me 600. You know? But, like, no. Then they were just like, look, we cannot give you a cash refund. What we can do is take the ring back as a courtesy to you as, like, a customer who's copping rings with Apple Pay.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But you need to now spend this as a credit.

[Dizza]

Okay, Got it.

[Eddie]

And they. They brought out the, like. I think it was the 100th anniversary. Like, Louis Tank, the gold one with the gold bracelet. They brought it and they're like, would you be interested in this? And I Was like, damn, that's kind of why I never would buy a watch otherwise. And they were holding it and they were like, we don't usually do like an all gold bracelet at Cartier. I didn't know shit about shit. So I was like, you could be lying to me. You could be telling the truth. But I started wearing that watch and I'm like, yo, it feels good stepping out with a gold watch on.

[Dizza]

Like, yeah, it.

[Eddie]

I was like, this. It just. You just feel big man.

[Dizza]

You know, That's a really great. That's a story that should be. It should have been on my tick tock, to be honest. That's a great like watch story.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Collaborate with you. Yeah, we will do the tick tock.

[Mike]

And then it was like every, like truly, everybody got a watch. Like he got me, my mom and his mom. Yeah, we got like the same watch just to signify like the event. And like he's so sweet. He was like, I want our moms to feel included in the engagement and like taken care of.

[Eddie]

And they all got two tone panthers.

[Mike]

Yeah. And then, and then it spiraled out from there. And then we just started like, and then, and then it just became, then he started having like a notes app of like watch my dream watch list. And it was crazy. He made this list and then within like six months had all the watches and I was like, no, no, this was supposed to be like 10 years. This was supposed to take.

[Dizza]

Now you're my dream client.

[Eddie]

Yeah, this guy got him in seven months. But yeah, now we're selling our house.

[Mike]

Yeah, now we're looking. We're looking to get bought out. Someone buy us out of our non rent stabilized department.

[Eddie]

No one should have sympathy for our financial situation. It's like Eddie dumbed the out.

[Mike]

Yeah, we were stupid.

[Eddie]

Art collection is fire though.

[Mike]

I bet the watch, every collection is fire. We just went too crazy.

[Eddie]

I was just Taiwanese hood rich man. I went too crazy at one point. There was. There was a month where I got, I think four watches from. Well that day we got four watches from cardier.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then we went back and I copped the. The black dial with no second hands.

[Dizza]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You know, like it was a tank.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Gold case, black dial.

[Dizza]

Yeah, I know the watch. Yeah, for sure. That's a good one.

[Eddie]

The name of it. Yeah, that was cool. But you know, and then he was.

[Mike]

Just like, what do you. He kept going in there like, what do you got? What do you got? What do you got? What do you got?

[Eddie]

Yeah, dude, bro. We started Running into the AP sales guy at the park and like we.

[Mike]

Were getting, oh my God, watches at the Mexican Cantina.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And then, well, she would call you every time, every time we got offered a watch.

[Mike]

Because I was like, I don't know, like after a certain point when you kind of. Because we didn't know anything about watches, I never thought I would get into them, but then it's like a sickness.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike]

He. I was like, this is fun and I like it. And then we started looking at vintage watches and I was like, oh, wow.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike]

But, yeah, I would always consult you.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And you gave good advice though. Cause I would say she would consult you and send you a photo. I would send it to Dizza and Dizza's response was always just like, buy this watch instead. And I was like, son, you sell watches with no box, man. I know you also sell watches with no box. But I just like, I like fucking with him, being like, yo, when you get boxes, I'll cop a watch.

[Dizza]

That's so funny.

[Eddie]

Get some mints, get some boxes, get some very special champagne. I'll cop, you know.

[Mike]

I know, but that's the thing. You just get like addicted to having that backroom experience, you know?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Once you've been in the show, you're not. You're not having the dance in the chair. I've ever been in the. I've never been in the room.

[Dizza]

No, definitely not.

[Eddie]

I just seen other people.

[Dizza]

We gotta lower your standards when you're buying vintage.

[Mike]

For sure.

[Dizza]

No, no box and papers.

[Eddie]

No box, no papers.

[Dizza]

Definitely not.

[Mike]

Yeah, you guys should just start making your own boxes.

[Dizza]

People do that all the time.

[Mike]

You know what I mean? Yeah, like I would a very.

[Dizza]

People make your own papers too. That's a Rolex and Cartier on them.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, they got the purple versus pouches now. Yeah, yeah, those are cool.

[Dizza]

Yeah, I definitely do.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but you're smart. You're. You like kind of have the Amazon of watching it because the pushers app is where every dealer I know is like selling.

[Dizza]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got, I got the app because I needed someplace to sell my watches and I didn't want like a traditional website. All these websites look the same. So me and my colleague, also named Mike, who, who's a developer, put together this app. Now we have like 50 something dealers on there, all vintage or, you know, neo vintage, vintage and sprinkling of modern stuff. And you know, there's like 50 new watches on there a day. So I go on there and I find watches myself to buy, and we have a big redesign coming soon. So it's going to look like a. It's going to look like a more professional app really soon. Maybe by the time this comes out.

[Eddie]

Well, I got to say, the app is great. I use it for fun, you know, like you. You know, usually in bed, I'm looking at pornhub. If she's next to me, like, I'll go look at.

[Dizza]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

Pushers and pornhub. I like that.

[Dizza]

If you type P into Google Chrome, what pops up first?

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

Pornhub will come up first. Pushers in YouTube TVs, backslash nicks. You know, it's a good.

[Mike]

That's a good trio. I like that.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Mike]

No, but I like the app.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

Thank you. Appreciate it.

[Eddie]

Yo, what was it from? So you. You had the rent stabilized, you got bought out, you copped a watch, and then what was like the kind of, like, big growth moment, learning curve thing?

[Dizza]

So there was a few. One was, I was a collector for a while. I was like a forums guy. I was on, like, the message boards and stuff. That's, like, how I learned. I didn't. I didn't consume, like, Hodinkee and stuff like that. I didn't. That's not how I, like, learned. I learned from talking to people and being on the forums. Eventually, I found, like, kind of two big kind of deals that I fell into as somebody with, like, not really any money and not that much knowledge. One was, like, buying an entire inventory off, like, a retiring watchmaker. And I think I paid him 12 grand, and I sold it for, like, 34 grand. I was still DJing, and this was, like, the first. I, like, scraped together that money to buy. To buy it, and then I had it. I sold the entire thing to one person. So that was like, oh, there's something to this. And then later on, I was. Then I started, you know, whatever, smaller watches here or there, because I was all consumed by it. So I was talking to people every day. People were kind of, like, offering me stuff. Sometimes stuff would be underpriced, and I'm like, okay, I could buy this and I could probably sell it with not. Not a big risk. Then I found something, like, really crazy. I've told this story before on Facebook, like a Facebook group. Somebody posted a gold Patek Nautilus 3700, the first one ever from, like, the late 70s, early 80s. Somebody posted it and was like, somebody just brought this into my jewelry store, and they want me to polish it But I don't know what that. Like, I don't know. I feel like I shouldn't. And I was like, talk to me, right? And everyone in the comments, like, it's fake. It's fake. It's got to be fake. Or it's.

[Eddie]

Ladies.

[Dizza]

It's not the. It's a quartz version. It's. And I basically contacted this guy to get all the information. He told me the whole story. This guy brought it into his shop, like, strip mall jewelry store to sell to his friend. So he wanted to come get it polished. But he was selling it to his friend for. It wasn't nothing. It was like 70 grand. So obviously it wasn't like a fight. It wasn't like, you know, he wasn't getting. It wasn't getting stolen from him. So I messaged him and kind of like, put. Put a deal together with no money. And the guy was okay with me. Like, if I give you $5,000 more, he'll do the deal with me. And then I had to take care of the shop owner too. And then I had to find the money. And the first. The first dealer I asked because the deal was already set. The hardest part is finding these watches. Really?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

Like, the deal was already done. So the first person I talked to said, go pick up the watch, which was in a different state. I had a fly, and we will wire the money. And that's what happened.

[Eddie]

And then this is this. It's so funny. In male social settings, it's the same fucking patterns. Let's say the gold Nautilus is like, the hottest chick in the club. Steps in the club. Everyone's like, I want it. But instead of going for it, I'm gonna neg and backstab and talk shit about this. She fucked this guy. She's got herpes. She's terrible. She's a bitch. And it's like the one guy that just Is like, I'm just gonna try.

[Dizza]

Y.

[Eddie]

The off chance that this is my watch or this is my girl, I'mma come say what's up? And it's just like, honestly, all the men watching, that's the secret to life. Just, like, don't listen to the other dudes around you telling you, like, it's bullshit. Just go for it. You want something, go for it. And, like, now you are the foremost vintage watch dealer in New York City.

[Dizza]

Thank you.

[Eddie]

You could be.

[Dizza]

It did kind of start in New York City, where I was like, I think I can actually. I think I can actually find these serious watches that's Kind of like what it started, and I realized that I didn't necessarily need the money. If you find the right watch, there'll be a million people to back you.

[Eddie]

Yeah, babe. Do you feel this way, too, though, about men? Like, is that pattern something that you see? Because that's. That's. I see it a lot with the homies.

[Mike]

What, that they don't go for what they really want?

[Eddie]

Yeah. And then when someone is, like, interested, it's like, no, that's a bad idea. Don't do it. Yada yada yada.

[Mike]

No, I don't think so. But I also am not in the male psyche, and I'm not, like, in that world where I think guys talk about these things. And. But. And, yeah, I just. I'm not around, like, I'm not around, like, men that suck. Like, I don't think either of you are like that. So I think I've never surrounded myself with, like, maybe one or two, but I'm like, I don't respect you, so I'm not gonna, like, come to you for advice or talk to you on a real level.

[Eddie]

And that was in a few group chats where it was just like, people were always discouraging each other. And then I was like, I'm leaving. Yeah, I'm leaving.

[Dizza]

I don't know.

[Mike]

I'm more on the wave of, like, if you want something, I mean, I would rather it's the tale as all the time, like, try and fail or, like, think about it for the rest of your life that you should. What could have happened? You know, you never know for it, bro. Shoot your shot.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Well, let me ask you the same question. When you were starting off, whether it was DJing or selling watches or anything creative or that you cared about, did you feel like there were a lot of naysayers at the beginning of DJing?

[Dizza]

It was so low barrier of entry. I mean, I was DJing at, like, darkroom and lit and stuff like this. So really, it's like, they would have taken any. Any could have gone.

[Eddie]

I love dark room.

[Dizza]

Yeah. And I. I remember I was kind of, like, throwing these little, like, hipster parties, and I was booking other DJs, and I was. And we were just playing the Smiths, basically, and I was like, I think I could do this. And so one of the other DJs was like, come next week. Come in like an hour earlier. I'll show you how to do it. And that's all it took. Oh, yeah, that's. That's basically how it started. Yeah. And it kind of just, you know, kind of.

[Eddie]

Okay, so there were no naysayers as a dj. What about the watch thing? Well, there was, with the watch, they were like, it's fake.

[Dizza]

So there is like a, there is a bit of gatekeeping with selling watches, for sure. And anytime. I mean, I've sold watches to people who. And people I'm sure had the same story with me. I've sold watches to people and then six months later they're like, oh, I'm a dealer now. I'm like, oh, I just told you. I just had to explain what a GMT was to you six months ago. Now you're a watch dealer. Which is fine. I mean, I guess that's, that's how it starts. And some people find a lot of success that way. But there's definitely like, if some random person I know is like, oh, I'm going to be a wide. I'm like, oh, okay, well, good luck. I mean, they can. It's not, it's not impossible. I did it. And then kind of what really sent it into the stratosphere was like the TikTok. That's what's, that's what, like when things went to like a crazy much, much crazier level because no one really knew people like my friends in, you know, downtown New York maybe knew me as a watch dealer before that. But that's when it really turned like global is when I started the TikTok. And within like a week of starting too.

[Eddie]

Yeah, well, because I think it was like a very gate kept old man's game watches. And you were audacious enough to be like, well, maybe younger people.

[Dizza]

Yeah, it was very like boomerish for sure. And there was an like two whole generations being completely ignored for sure. There's a lot of young people buying vintage watches for sure.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I mean, it's like one of the trends you talk about is like the geezer watch. You know, it's like geezer culture. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dizza]

But yeah, I mean it was, there was, people were buying submariners and that was the scent of it. And there were so many amazing watches being completely ignored and you know, it's nice just be able to. I have to, I have to post a video every day so there's a lot of room to cover a lot of stuff. So the geezer watches. Yeah, it's just like something interesting. Some of them are cool, some of them are lame. But yeah, you know, just. There's so much cool stuff. Once you get over Rolex, there's like so much cool stuff.

[Eddie]

Yeah. How do you, how do you feel about, like, you know, because I don't feel like your content is about, buy this watch, don't buy that watch. Besides, you encourage people to buy vintage. That's one thing you do encourage. But, like, how do you feel about, like the industrial complex of like, buying guides? Like, people telling each other what to buy or what's hot or what's trending. Like, how do you feel about that?

[Dizza]

There's a lot of, like, get rich quick schemes in the watch world. And certainly some of them, a lot of them are like courses and PDFs and stuff like that. I mean, I don't know. I don't know why you would, you know, kind of listen to a complete stranger. Their opinion. Who knows what they do, where they live, like, what they partake in. Like, who cares about this random person's opinion? Yeah, you could say the same about me, but at least you get to know me a little bit through the video so you can form an opinion versus just some guy saying, here's a, a guide I wrote to what watches you should buy.

[Eddie]

Yeah, no, I definitely think you just are interested. You gravitate towards what you're interested in. Like, you, you'll buy lots of watches from like an old Chinese jewelry shop.

[Dizza]

Definitely. Yeah.

[Eddie]

You know, like, you'll hunt for things on the message board. But I do find it funny when people trend lists, like, trend lists in any industry just crack me up.

[Mike]

Yeah, it's played out.

[Dizza]

There's so always stuff trending. It's. You don't necessarily have to buy it, but there's certainly, like, things that I see, you know, popping off and I could tell, I could feel it. I could see the price rising.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

And then you see other people, you know, it's like you can wear a watch or the watch can wear you. And I think a lot of people kind of just like jumping onto specific trends. It's like, you just bought this because you were supposed to.

[Eddie]

That's the biggest difference I've seen between like la, Miami and New York is like, if something's trending, you'll see people in LA and Miami. Like, I need it.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Most people, like, I think below Houston street, they see something trending. Like, I'll find the next thing. I'm, you know what? That's your table. Go ahead.

[Dizza]

Yeah, forget.

[Mike]

Yeah. Or just knowing. Even with and like, fashion, anything, it's knowing or just appreciating the thing that's trending and being like that's really cool. But that doesn't work with me. Like, that doesn't work with who I am, the essence of my personality, my style. Because there's so many watches that I see and I'm like, wow, I love that. That, like, wouldn't work on me.

[Eddie]

You talk about that a lot with, like, silhouettes. Like, when you buy clothes, you have.

[Mike]

To know your silhouette for sure.

[Dizza]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

And I think the same is true with watches. Like, you look really good with a big. Almost like you can pull off a gaudy watch in a really elegant way. No, but it, like, looks more elegant on you versus some kind of like scrawny kid trying to wear this like, hue, like your. Some of your watches. And I'm like, the gold looks really good on you. Like, some people can't pull off an old all gold watch. And I'm like, you have to know yourself and your essence to like, really pull something off. That's just what I believe.

[Eddie]

But yeah, anyone can go good in steel. I like the steel watches on you and you crush the geezer watch. Like your. Your spirit and ethos is you could have like a wild ap. Bamboo on and it looks good on. You can wear a women's watch.

[Dizza]

Definitely.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you got. You could do a women's watch flow. It's cool.

[Mike]

What do you think is just like the most overhyped, played out, trendy watch?

[Dizza]

I mean, I'd probably say the Crash, but I do love it and I do think it's an amazing watch. It's historically important, but it is like, it's in some ways becoming like the new Nautilus and that. Like, every celebrity needs it.

[Mike]

And yeah, it does feel like a status symbol of.

[Dizza]

For sure.

[Eddie]

Got it for me, whatever LeBron James cops, I just don't want.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like, even the Vacheron 222, steel, blue dial, like fire. Fire.

[Dizza]

Does he have that? Does LeBron?

[Eddie]

Yeah, he's like, that's a great watch. On.

[Dizza]

Yeah, it's a great watch.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

But, yeah, I mean, but the thing about the crash versus people like, oh, the Crash is the hype watch, which it is. However, the numbers they produce are so tiny. It could never really be the Nautilus, which is why I think the price is kind of still continuously rising. I feel we're, you know, a lot of people are over the crash. It's not like a secret. But the price still continues to go up because they made so few of them. Like, you know, there's. They just ended the program where you could do Special orders, probably. There's more special order crash, actually. I know there's more special order crashes than regular issue ones. There's probably like, how many crash. Less than 2500 crashes ever made. Where Nautilus is probably hundreds of thousands of different Nautiluses. So it can never really, really get like full mass market, but it is extremely high. I love it. I would still buy one if I could.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

And I think it's. It'll forever be like a cool watch, but it's certainly hyped.

[Eddie]

Okay, question I got. What do you think about the IWC Genta? The. The engine?

[Dizza]

Yeah, it's cool. It's a cool watch. I mean, you know, they re released it in a few different sizes this year. The original is a cool watch. I think it's undervalued. I think there's a lot of undervalued IWC watches. And I think if somebody had that watch, I'd be like, oh, this guy kind of knows what's up. Because it's not, it's not a hype watch. I mean, it's Genta. Genta himself, his designs are pretty hyped. It's the same guy who designed the Royal Oak and the Nautilus for people who don't know. Yeah, it's a cool. I think it's a cool watch.

[Eddie]

I like that watch because also it feels like it's. It's like you're sitting in Lure fish bar. You know what I mean? It's like the most basic scuba thing and it's the most round. And you know, the one thing for me is, is that like the, the current ones have ugly dials.

[Dizza]

You know, you can tell about a lot of modern, modern watches. That's always, it's always an issue.

[Eddie]

Like, what are they doing with these dials? Why don't they just plain. Just like.

[Dizza]

It's like the Rolex, the stone dials, which they started producing again. So the vintage Rolex stone dials that were on day dates and datejusts are so desirable, so collectible, so rare, incredibly beautiful. It's just like a slab of stone. No markers, just says Rolex and.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Fat. You got a crazy one.

[Dizza]

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. He's probably up 10x on that watch. He's had that a really long time.

[Eddie]

Dude that stays making money like anything Josh touches, it's just like he just has the vision. And the best part is he doesn't care. Yeah, yeah, sorry, go ahead.

[Dizza]

Yeah. So those watches are so desirable. And Rolex started making New stone dials, but they cannot resist putting the gaudiest, like, Rome, diamond, Roman numerals all over it. Or like, there's versions that just have six and nine with diamonds in the. In the holes.

[Eddie]

They are so repulsive.

[Dizza]

They cannot just be cool. They can't just chill and just put out. If they put out a regular stone dial anything like the 70s and 80s versions, listen, they probably all sell out anyway, so who am I? Like, I'm sure they have no. Rolex has no problem moving watches, but, like, collectors would go crazy if they just put a regular Onyx style, regular lapis dial.

[Eddie]

Yeah, no, I feel like they can't.

[Dizza]

Resist just adding bells and whistles. They can't resist.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I feel like watches are in the era of Mexican Jordans. Remember when they were just putting out, like, random Jordans that were like, half of a flight shoe and then half of a Jordan, and then they were just dubbed the Mexican Jordan. He knows. I'm not. This is not like, I've never heard.

[Mike]

This term in my life, but I'm very excited.

[Eddie]

You have to be an unwell sneaker head. But, like, they have the Mexican Jordan. They got the Dominican Jordan. And it's like when they combined three Jordans into one and sold them, like, back to school kids. Like, it was the back.

[Mike]

We don't have a new recipe, so, like, we're just gonna take bits from everything and make a Frankenstein Jordan.

[Eddie]

Yeah. But I think it was really too, because some kids and parents couldn't afford the Jordan, but then they wanted to hit that market and didn't want to come up with a new shoe or you didn't want to cop the Kyrie. So, like, let's combine three Jordans. Here you go. But, like, I think that's what Rolex does now with, like, this ugly Roman numeral dial. And, like, I've. I've seen, like, green numbers. Yeah. Crazy gotten wild.

[Dizza]

I know.

[Mike]

We also saw two of the most beautiful watches I think I've ever seen. Remember when we were in Vegas for F1?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike]

They.

[Eddie]

Oh, you tell the mother of pearl. Women's presidential mother of pearl dial with diamond baguettes, like, gold bracelet.

[Mike]

I, like, gasped. I was like, yeah, maybe like, she was the hottest bitch in the club. And I was like, oh, no. Crazy.

[Dizza]

You got to find one.

[Mike]

Well, they were like, you can have it. And I was like, I don't think we can buy this. Right.

[Eddie]

They offered it to us. And I was like, no, Hollywood's dead, man.

[Mike]

I was like, we're Poor. We can't buy this. But it was just like stunning and breathtaking, but the rest of the kind of sucks.

[Eddie]

Yeah. They were offering it to us because everyone there that week was like, like, had bread and I was like, bro, we're on a sponsored trip.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Mike]

They thought that we were. I was like, no, no, someone paid for this. Like, this is not.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I'm like, we overdrafting at the Dunkin Donuts, like in the Bellagio.

[Eddie]

Yeah. But that watch was crazy.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I put a photo up of it.

[Mike]

I still think about it.

[Eddie]

I'm like, mother of pearl.

[Mike]

Yeah. Mother of pearl.

[Eddie]

Yeah. They flew it in just for F1. That weekend was ill because the boutiques had crazy.

[Mike]

There was like pipes.

[Dizza]

Imagine how much money's there that week.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, I know. I was like, oh, they were just.

[Eddie]

Trying to like hit a chic, you.

[Mike]

Know, and I'm sure they did.

[Eddie]

Yeah, a chic. Definitely. Cop.

[Dizza]

That was the name of my Uber driver on the way here. I swear to God. I was like, oh, wow, this guy's a chic.

[Mike]

I love that.

[Dizza]

I'm not kidding.

[Eddie]

Yeah. What's exciting to you about. About watches? I'm guessing the Land Dweller.

[Dizza]

Yeah, Listen, I think it is interesting that at least they put out something a completely new model and it is like a kind of a vintage throwback.

[Eddie]

To the oyster integrated bracelet.

[Dizza]

Yeah. I mean, it's beautifully made, for sure. The dial was probably the worst part.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

As we were saying earlier, they cannot resist. But it is interesting and that that is such a watch that that kind of leaked and people are like, no way. This is real. Yeah, no way. This is real. And they had the. I think they had the name Landouer copyrighted for like a decade already or something. So they really knew, like, for a long time they were making this thing and, you know, it's in the old oyster quartz case from the 70s or 80s. It's interesting when they really. They hadn't released a new model in a very long time. So it's kind of interesting, you know, when you usually don't get very much revolutionarily new stuff from these brands. It's interesting to see, I guess.

[Eddie]

Yeah. What about. What about Vacheron?

[Dizza]

They're doing really well.

[Eddie]

That's my brand. I really like.

[Dizza]

Yeah, I love Vacheron. The. Yeah, the Steel two to do is probably one of the best releases of the year. Really gorgeous watch. Stunning bracelet. Like, super comfortable. That's an amazing watch. That's a brand that doesn't get enough love yeah.

[Eddie]

Do you mind releasing like a video to up the value of my rose gold green dial?

[Dizza]

Sure, yeah, I'll work on that.

[Eddie]

Thank you.

[Dizza]

I mean the vintage, the vintage Vacheron.

[Mike]

May need to flip that soon. So.

[Dizza]

So undervalued. It's crazy. Like there's watches from like the 1940s, which is a very important era for the big Swiss brands, that it's basically the identical watch to Patek. It just says Vacheron and the dials are being made in the same place.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

The movements probably as well. Like one says Vacheron, one says Patek. It's the same watch. The patek is like 10 times more expensive.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

And the Vacherons are like cheaper than like a vintage datejust.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I really.

[Dizza]

A lot of value there.

[Eddie]

Vacheron. I also like the new wat. They're the one brand where I. With the new shit they're making.

[Dizza]

Yeah. That steel 2 to 2 is probably one of the best tributes of any tribute that any brand has done.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Okay. Price not a factor. If you could have the gold 222 or the steel 222.

[Dizza]

Which one and why steel? I think really, I just think. Yeah, I mean, I just think it's beautiful. I mean, listen, the gold is amazing too.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

But I think the steel is a perfect sports watch. It's really, really rad.

[Eddie]

Even though LeBron is rocking it on page one of a Harry Potter book.

[Dizza]

LeBron's watch choices don't really affect me too much.

[Eddie]

Where.

[Dizza]

Yeah, I mean, I think that's a great watch.

[Eddie]

It is. I would. I would cop the gold one.

[Mike]

Gold. Good on you.

[Eddie]

Because I also never take the necklace off. So I have. I have to wear either two tone or gold because for good luck I never take it off. So I would. I would cop the gold. But also gold just works with me spirit. But I do really respect that steel. If I was the copper steel watch, it would be.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Two to two blue face.

[Dizza]

Sure. I mean, I would rather. I prefer the vintage one, of course. But I say that about every watch.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

But yeah, it's a really nice one.

[Eddie]

Yeah. No, the vintage. The vintage is just cooler to have and have the patina and all that. But that. The new one. Really. It's pretty close.

[Dizza]

Yeah, I agree.

[Eddie]

Like they didn't put stupid. A stupid dial or stupid numbers on the.

[Dizza]

Agreed.

[Eddie]

Yeah. There's no piano keys, you know. Okay. John John Mayer ap. How do you feel?

[Dizza]

It's cool.

[Mike]

I love it.

[Eddie]

I like it.

[Dizza]

No, I'll talk shit you know, I'll talk shit if I like it. Yeah, yeah, I like it. No, the only thing about AP is they do so many special editions, it's crazy.

[Eddie]

They got like camouflage joints.

[Dizza]

Yeah. I mean like that's wild. I mean they do a lot of cool stuff. I mean that Travis Scott one, which actually I liked, a lot of people didn't like it. They made 200 of those at over $200,000 each. That's a lot. That's a lot of watches for a lot of money. 200 is not. I mean it sounds small, but 200.

[Eddie]

Like a lot of people being an almost quarter million dollar.

[Mike]

That's a lot of people.

[Dizza]

And they do releases like this all the time. I mean there's so many aps, but.

[Eddie]

That'S why, that's why the world created China, you know, to buy that watch.

[Mike]

Like what do you think about first.

[Dizza]

AP and then China after?

[Mike]

What'd you say about the women's like mini ap?

[Dizza]

Oh, I think they're very cool.

[Mike]

They're so cute, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

But I mean, I don't know how much value like the. The again. I mean I say this about every watch but the vintage ladies. The AP mini Royal look, you can get those for like a tenth of the price of the new one.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

And they look like from 10ft away. They look exactly.

[Eddie]

And it's better. Yeah, yeah. She looks better actually, I think with the AP, the 34. Okay, 34. It looks really good on her because she taller.

[Mike]

Yeah, I do, I feel like very in charge when I'm wearing it. Like I do feel like I can command the room.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Mike]

I'm like, well, we've arrived here. Hello. My hand is always like that.

[Eddie]

Yeah. The other one, the women's watch I think is just excellent value is the vintage Bulgari Serpenti.

[Dizza]

Oh yeah. There's so many different ones. That's another very interesting little. Yeah, little market segment. There's a ton of face.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

I saw one the other day that I'd never seen before. Like still I see stuff I've never seen before. That's a very.

[Mike]

I wore mine today because I was like thinking, I was like I wasn't going to wear. He got me this one for my awesome. Wow, that's rad 30th birthday.

[Eddie]

I'm basically shouting out the watches we've collected to up the value, you know.

[Mike]

But this one, one of my favorites. Cuz it's the to watch list.

[Dizza]

I could do a video. The top 10 watches from Canal Street Dreams.

[Eddie]

Perfect. Thank God.

[Mike]

I love.

[Eddie]

Thank you.

[Mike]

I was going to wear all of them. Just.

[Dizza]

That looks great on you.

[Mike]

Thank you.

[Dizza]

Yeah. I hardly ever see these.

[Eddie]

Like, don't look too close, homie.

[Dizza]

Don't look too close.

[Mike]

I love it.

[Eddie]

I love it. Did you hit.

[Mike]

It'S only real if you buy her a watch though. You know what I mean?

[Eddie]

You whoever.

[Mike]

But did you buy her a watch?

[Dizza]

True.

[Mike]

No, exactly.

[Eddie]

I got people I proposed to with no ring, so they were real.

[Mike]

You know, that's what makes me feel better. I'm like, you may have proposed to multiple people, but I proposed to someone.

[Eddie]

In the kitchen with nothing in my hand. Was just like, what up?

[Mike]

That's crazy. Like, how do you even. That's like not even real.

[Eddie]

It's not, it's not.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Eddie]

I, I.

[Mike]

Have you ever proposed to anybody?

[Dizza]

No.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Dizza]

And I never will.

[Mike]

Would you propose with a watch? Never will.

[Dizza]

I mean I think a watch is probably a better move than a ring.

[Mike]

But I at this point.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Mike]

It honestly is.

[Eddie]

Sent out a mass email yesterday was like the value of real diamonds is tanking.

[Mike]

Yeah. And I was crazy.

[Eddie]

People should. What?

[Mike]

Well, no, I was like that's, I mean it was fully just like marketed by jewelers to propose with a ring. Like that whole thing. You should, you should market proposing with a watch.

[Dizza]

That's a great idea.

[Mike]

This should be your late propose with a watch.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You could be like the beers for men. Like, okay, ladies, buy your man a watch after he proposes to you.

[Mike]

Well, you're supposed to do that. You're supposed to buy. I mean like when you get married, you're supposed to give your husband a gift. I didn't give you one because I.

[Eddie]

Was broke, but also cuz my parents didn't send in the certificate.

[Mike]

Yeah, we're not really married. Second, we're not really married. But when we do get officially married, I'll get you something cute. Maybe it won't be a watch. Maybe be the next edition of the very special Rolex. Get a watch.

[Eddie]

Get a watch, man. Get a watch with this guy. Support your friend's business.

[Mike]

Okay, I got you. I got you. We'll support our local.

[Dizza]

Instead of just asking me about every other watch you see. You can buy one from me.

[Mike]

I'll finally buy one from you. And then you're good because you've already bought me so many.

[Eddie]

I love it. Wow. I'm excited for just use this.

[Dizza]

Cartier credit has like 300k left in Cartier credit.

[Mike]

Unfortunately, we've literally ran through it all we have every Cartier sunglass. You could imagine every Cartier scarf watch.

[Dizza]

Wow. Imagine if Cartier came out with, like, an engagement watch. Oh, they could really like.

[Mike]

Okay. No, no, no. Stop giving the sauce.

[Dizza]

You're right. Such a good idea to work on this.

[Mike]

You're gonna work on the engagement watch?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

Oh, wow. This is a great idea.

[Eddie]

I need to partner with a brand and do the engagement wash and just gift us one, you know?

[Dizza]

No, no. No problem. For sure.

[Eddie]

VC222 engagement watch, brother. Nouveau engagement watch.

[Mike]

I like. This is very progressive, you know what I mean?

[Eddie]

Shorty's got an engagement chicken. You know what I mean? They'd be cooking the chicken so that you propose. But the engagement watch is easier. Just buy the watch. That man will propose.

[Dizza]

That chicken sounds good, though.

[Mike]

I know. I've never made it. I've thought about making it.

[Eddie]

This is the chicken or the watch argument. You could cook the chicken and hope to get proposed to. Or just buy the watch.

[Mike]

Take out a line. Take out a line of credit and buy the watch. Buy the watch to the checks, cash.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Affirm the watch.

[Eddie]

Wow. The engagement watch. I like.

[Dizza]

Great idea.

[Eddie]

Incredible. Glad we thought of this.

[Mike]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Get your man a watch. Yeah.

[Mike]

I like it.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Mike]

Okay. What's your.

[Eddie]

Shorty's gonna be pissed in the comments.

[Mike]

Holy Grail watch. I feel like you've said this before, Maybe on Tik Tok, but maybe it's changed.

[Eddie]

Like, it changes.

[Dizza]

It changes all the time. I don't really have one that I dream about. I mean, there's so many really, really important ones that you dream of finding.

[Eddie]

Damn. You're really never getting married. Just dude flipping every week. No, I'm kidding. I interrupted you.

[Dizza]

I don't know. I mean, it's probably some vintage. Some very rare Patek Philippe. There's not. There's not really one specific one that I dream. I mean, you know, there's stuff I would love to find, but. Yeah, it changes all the time.

[Mike]

There's not one that would just have you, like, shook.

[Dizza]

There's a. There's a thousand like that.

[Mike]

Wow.

[Dizza]

But there's, you know, there's not one that's necessarily a dream of more than the other.

[Eddie]

Which one's the most recent watch you jerked off to?

[Dizza]

Hmm. Let me think. It's got to be something from one of the auctions because I see so much crazy shit every single season at the auctions.

[Eddie]

An older lips.

[Dizza]

No, no. But I mean, I do love those. I found a really nice one in Vegas last Month. God, it's so tough to say. It's kind of.

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Dizza]

There's like, probably a Patek Philippe 24.99, which is a perpetual calendar chronograph from, like, the 50s. The 50s and 60s. It's. Yeah, yeah.

[Mike]

Have you ever gooned it to a watch?

[Eddie]

No, but I'm a tribe.

[Dizza]

It sounds like you might have come close with the Gold 222.

[Eddie]

It's a Gold 222 is close. I. I really like the Gold 222.

[Mike]

So interesting.

[Eddie]

Duning the watches is fly. Somebody needs to start doing that.

[Mike]

Would you take. Are you. You're a lefty or righty? You're not. Well, I know that he can switch it because he was originally a lefty.

[Eddie]

No, no, no, no.

[Mike]

He was originally a lefty, and then they, like, made him into a R. But do you ever take your watch off and put it on your right hand to, like, with the watch on your hand? That's something, like, hot about that, like, watch. Like, if you're wearing your favorite watch and you're, like, jerking it with your favorite watch on your hand, is that.

[Dizza]

Not watch the power reserve going up.

[Eddie]

From behind with the watch.

[Dizza]

You always have to take a picture in that. In that situation.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I. I have. Yeah.

[Dizza]

You know, like, yeah, the ultimate wrist shot.

[Eddie]

Also, like.

[Mike]

With the engagement watch.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Gold prezi with the hair just my. Ain't even set.

[Mike]

Wrong day, wrong time.

[Eddie]

Yeah, totally. Wrong day, wrong day.

[Mike]

Oh, that's funny.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. Gooning with the watch, man.

[Mike]

I don't know. I just never thought of that. And I was like, if I was a man, like, I don't know. Men are visual. I would be like, my favorite watch that I, like, worked so hard for.

[Eddie]

I think when you got to watch on and, like, you know, we're in the lab, like, that's fly, too. You know, I'm a very, like, keep the boots on guy. Keep the watch on. Like, definitely keep the watch.

[Dizza]

Wow.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like, definitely got to keep the watch on in bed.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

See, that's something you could probably safe more. Be more safe doing with a modern watch versus a vintage watch.

[Mike]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Dizza]

Sure. Might fall apart.

[Eddie]

Are you taking the watch off your bed?

[Dizza]

Yeah, bro.

[Eddie]

That's crazy. That's crazy. No, you gotta keep it on, man.

[Dizza]

These vintage watches are delicate, I gotta tell you.

[Mike]

No, if there's one, I feel like you need to see the.

[Eddie]

Just the light. Hit it. Like, it's gotta be in bed.

[Mike]

Yeah, but it has to be the right person, right? It can't. You can't just be like. You know what I mean? You gotta really care.

[Dizza]

Unless it's a scenario where you don't have time.

[Mike]

That's true.

[Eddie]

You know.

[Mike]

Well, yeah, we're fake married, so it's just us all the time. This man is single. I'm like, you can't be out here. Everyone with your favorite vintage watch.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but don't you want to watch someone suck your dick with like the serpenti on? That's kind of crazy. That's.

[Dizza]

Is that an offer or.

[Mike]

You trying.

[Eddie]

I'm saying like. Like, you know, I keep the watch on.

[Dizza]

Okay, good to know.

[Eddie]

Keep to watch on.

[Mike]

Okay. Okay. You know what? I. You know. Okay, just intrusive thought again. So I saw Rihanna wear like an engagement ring on her toe.

[Eddie]

I was like, love that level of wealth.

[Mike]

That level of wealth. Right. What about the anklet? What if I put.

[Dizza]

What if I full house arrest ap?

[Mike]

Kind of like that. But I was like, what if I tried to put my AP on?

[Eddie]

Yo, I'll tell you something, that's hot because I. I usually like a foot in a shoe. Like seeing a foot inside of a shoe inside, like it's dressed right. The only time I like a flat foot out is with the anklet on.

[Mike]

Yeah. Like the anklet is like I. I've. Yeah. I feel like my anklets actually broke like last summer and I never put them back on. But I love an anklet cause I just think it's sexy. I'm like into it and like a heel, anything, whatever. It's so summery and tanned and hot to me. And then. But the thing is when I see.

[Eddie]

The Van Cleefs, I Van Cleefs.

[Mike]

I'm like, what as an anklet?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Barf.

[Mike]

Yeah. I don't know. I'm not a Van Cleef person.

[Eddie]

I'm a Van Cleef bar for No.

[Mike]

I think just like gold. But imagine like cuz the ank. The watch anklet is so crazy. Cuz then you would have. It couldn't just be a watch that you like have for your wrist. It's specific. You would have to get it sized correctly for your an like there's. That would have to go into.

[Eddie]

Would go crazy.

[Mike]

Such a flex.

[Eddie]

That's another thing with like instead of a gladiator sandal lace up with the serpent shoe brand.

[Mike]

Renee Caviella or something. She always. She makes. She. I don't know who she is, but the heels always look like you have.

[Eddie]

Kind of a serpenti up the la.

[Mike]

That's crazy.

[Eddie]

Oh my God.

[Dizza]

If you had a leg up here.

[Eddie]

Checking the time, just hitting it. Oh God, I be going crazy.

[Mike]

The serpenti anklet.

[Eddie]

Or imagine like you're hitting it from behind and you cut. You grab the foot and there's a serpenti there. Just time is it, dude.

[Mike]

Imagine bowl Ms. Imagine bowl anklets. Every limb, you're just serpenti'd out. You're just a snake. You're just wow.

[Dizza]

Like his dream. I think he found his thing.

[Eddie]

I just lose my mind.

[Mike]

Instead of buying him a watch, I should just buy four serpentis on every limb for me.

[Eddie]

You should, you should, you should just put some serpenti, like legs, serpenti.

[Dizza]

I would lose my mind looking like Inspector Gadget.

[Eddie]

Straight lobster sauce everywhere.

[Mike]

I like that Inspector Gadget trench coat. Just trench coat, sir. Penti. Yeah, very Inspector Gadget.

[Eddie]

For real, man. Pasta water on the floor. This game over, man.

[Dizza]

Wow. Oh man.

[Mike]

Not the pasta water.

[Eddie]

Man. Wow. We should make these watches.

[Dizza]

It's a great. A lot of great ideas make these watches today.

[Mike]

A lot of great ideas.

[Eddie]

The Serpenti leg is. Is like when they made the Timberland heel, the bootleg Timberland heel they're working on.

[Dizza]

It's got someone's. Has. Has to have done. Done the Serpenti leg.

[Mike]

I haven't seen it.

[Dizza]

I mean, I'll do some research when I get home.

[Mike]

Yeah, like maybe someone might have like put one on their ankle on like Pinterest or something. I've tried to put mine on my ankle, but my ankle's a little. I don't have like a cankle. But I'm just not like a small, delicate girl, you know, saying I don't. I don't have a cankle. I'm not gonna claim that publicly.

[Eddie]

No, you don't have a cankle. But at all.

[Mike]

Like this would not fit on my ankle. Cuz I thought about it before. I was like, that would look hot. Like I want to put a watch on my ankle. I think that's just such a flex.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Like it's the engagement ring on your toe. I'm like, it's just so ignorant. It's so rude to do. Honestly, it's wrong.

[Dizza]

It could be. You could be the one who invents.

[Eddie]

The training to do it. You need to do it. I need to see it. You can kind of also see your reflection in a Serpenti. That's crazy. That's like American Psycho level, man.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

You put a lot of thought into This.

[Eddie]

I mean, I'm putting thought into it now. Like, right now, I'm.

[Mike]

I'm thinking I might get pregnant tonight.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Dizza]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

Again?

[Eddie]

Again.

[Dizza]

Send in the paperwork for us.

[Eddie]

You're still pregnant since the last episode. I'm like, I'm convinced. I'm convinced.

[Mike]

But I'll have to do, like, in two weeks or something. We'll do in two weeks. We will do a live pregnancy test.

[Eddie]

Yeah, let's do it on the show. Live test. Live testing, man. What else. What else is going on, though, Mike? Any. Anything else? Any. Any big pushers, news.

[Dizza]

We got this redesign coming out soon. Got, like, a full agency working on it. It's gonna look much more professional, though. I mean, it works great now, to be honest, but, you know, it's gonna look like a. An app that maybe somebody will buy one day.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel you. I feel you. For the investors.

[Dizza]

Yeah, yeah. What else is going on? I don't know. I think that. Nothing really. I'm just looking for watches every single.

[Eddie]

Day in the city this summer. Yeah, I love it.

[Dizza]

I'm going to Greece, actually, next month. Oh, yeah, Milos. I've been there before, actually. It's amazing.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Nice. That's fun.

[Dizza]

That's it. I got nothing else planned. I'm gonna try to go to Japan, and before the end of the year, I got nothing else. I travel a lot, but most of it's for work.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Which. Which brand are you working with? Cartier the most these days in terms.

[Dizza]

Of just, like, going to events, I guess. Yeah. Cartier, probably. You know, they're not. I'm not like, an ambassador or anything like that. It's just, you know, they invite me to stuff.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Not yet.

[Eddie]

They would be a good partner for a male engagement, of course.

[Dizza]

Who would be better?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I think.

[Mike]

Yeah, I think it's. It's.

[Eddie]

That is a good one. Yeah, that is a good one, but absolutely. Bulgari for the women's legs or panty?

[Dizza]

Yes, that noted to be.

[Eddie]

Yes. Thank you. So that's what we got going on.

[Mike]

Let's see. Let these brands know in the workshop, like, the orologists really need to start keeping the legs in mind.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

Eddie's a horologist.

[Eddie]

I'm a horologist for sure. I'm out here trying to spray pasta, water. Yeah.

[Mike]

I want to get you the monocle, like the orology model.

[Dizza]

Oh, yeah.

[Mike]

I think that's cool.

[Eddie]

The monocle on you. Yeah, it to.

[Mike]

That could also be cool for the bedroom. You could, like, see Some.

[Eddie]

Some dudes may actually find before, you know.

[Mike]

Yeah, I think found it. OB should all have the orology monocle. Spread it. Let me see in there. The test might not be correct.

[Eddie]

Let me study this. Yeah. Incredible, man. Well, we'll have to hang because we're in the city this summer.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Mike]

Absolutely.

[Dizza]

Nothing but time.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I love it. You people are always like, where are you going this summer? Where you leaving the city? I'm always like, man, I'm 10 toes down in the city this summer.

[Mike]

We're here, we're sweating.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah, I like it. I love being in the city when everybody leaves.

[Dizza]

I almost never go anywhere for pleasure, to be honest. It's only like work related stuff.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dizza]

And so when I'm home, I like being home. I don't do the Hamptons. I do nothing.

[Mike]

Yeah. We're kind of the same in that regard. We're like definitely homebodies.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Mike]

If I have a trip that I'm. I get like light annoyed if I ever. Even if it's for pleasure, I'm like, I have to like pack and I have to get on the plane. And then some people that like love to travel and I'm like, wow, I suck. I just want to stay home.

[Eddie]

Everyone leaves New York in the summer, but I'd rather leave like in January.

[Dizza]

Feb. Definitely.

[Eddie]

That's when I leave here in the summer. Yeah.

[Mike]

I rather be sweating on these streets than cold.

[Eddie]

Yeah. That like, we have no religious beliefs, so for sure I can, I can book that hotel on Christmas day, you know? Yeah, I could be there.

[Mike]

Well, no, it's different now. We have a kid.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, we gotta like.

[Mike]

I'm very.

[Eddie]

He's.

[Mike]

He's almost 2. He's almost 2.

[Dizza]

He doesn't even understand Christmas. Yeah.

[Mike]

You can down. I'm down. Going somewhere. Like when we went to Jamaica at goldeneye and they like, Santa come out on a jet ski.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Mike]

As long as there's some type of tradition that we are giving him. Because I do feel like Christmases for me growing up were so big and magical and like, I will just never forget that. And I think if you've had that, you know how much it means and then you want to give that. Like I don't know if I want.

[Eddie]

To dress up as Santa Claus and be like, dude, Santa Claus is Chinese. Like convince him that Santa Claus is Chinese.

[Mike]

Santa Claus is Chinese.

[Eddie]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Mike]

Literally never even, you know, he is Chinese, first of all. And his bag is full of watches.

[Dizza]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

This is a Chinese horologist.

[Mike]

He only carries vintage watches in his bag that he got on pushers.

[Eddie]

I love it. What time is it? Is your watch set?

[Dizza]

No, actually it's not. I haven't worn this one in a while.

[Eddie]

I love it. I love it. Okay.

[Dizza]

And also it's early in the morning.

[Eddie]

Oh, perfect. We did it. We did an hour. Perfect. I wanted to see if your watch was set it. No.

[Dizza]

Also because it's been 100 degrees the last three days with the humidity, I can't even wear really vintage watches. They're not waterproof. The humidity will fog them up.

[Eddie]

No, I. I don't set my watch at all.

[Dizza]

Normally I do, but in this case, you know, I woke up early to come here.

[Eddie]

No, you good, bro?

[Mike]

I know. I like to is early actually.

[Eddie]

This is useless. This is just a display of wealth.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But. Yeah. Incredible. Thank you. Yeah.

[Mike]

Well, it's so nice having you.

[Dizza]

Yeah. Thanks so much for having me. I love doing it.
