Did someone ever tell you that you couldn't wear your dive watch on a leather strap? Or that your watch was too big, on the wrong wrist, or somehow in violation of some arcane set of watch nerd rules? Jason and James dig into as many of these rules as they could find online and it’s a fun and lighthearted chat into the more regimented side of both horological and sartorial concerns.
From the start, Jason is back from beautiful North Carolina and James is back from a quick trip to Italy for the start of Mille Miglia. Be sure to stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have you dodging both bugs and white water hazards from the comfort of your own wherever.

Hi there, good watch folks of the interweb. Allow me to settle the debate over whether wearing divers on leather is heresy. Two questions. Question one: who made the first dive watch? Answer: Panerai. Question two: what kind of straps were the original Panerai watches fitted with? Answer: Yep. Leather! Have a nice day!
