Rolex Trolls Omega, Dracula's Watch Castle, And Horological Alchemy

This week on the aBlogtoWatch Weekly podcast Ariel has abandoned his post and left Rick and David to fend for themselves. Luckily, our old friend Simon, from Escapement24, steps in! There's a quick update on the Fifty Phantoms and news that Rolex has trolled Omega, then things get rolling with a dive into gold-plated watches and David's hope for their resurgence. The trio look at the new Breitling Avenger collection, give their takes on power reserves, and play guess the price of the newest Grand Seikos. Things wrap up with your usual digest of new releases and reviews, plus a round of Hit, Miss, Maybe. Listen below or on the player of your choice.
