Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio.

In this episode, host Adam (@mediumwatch) sits down for another chat with Hamza from @Watchcharts. Watchcharts is the most comprehensive pre-owened watch search engine and market research website, with live pricing and availability for 25,000+ watches.

Roman (@TimesRomanAU) was not able to make this recording, so Adam was flying solo!

Adam and Hamza discuss the current state of the pre-owned watch market, analyzing trends, pricing, and market health indicators, with a focus on Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Audemars Piguet. The episode also covers the impact of economic conditions in China on luxury watch consumption, the role of Rolex's Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program, and the personal aspects of watch collecting.

The time is gone, the show is over, thought I'd something more to say…

Theme music:
homegrown 

Enter The Vintage Hen-House, pick a perch, and listen to Benoît (@Petitesecondes) and his co-hosts chat to vintage watch collectors from all over the world about their collection, the vintage watch world, and many other things. Let's talk about the good, the bad and the ugly stories that we can all share about collecting vintage watches!

Host: Benoît @Petitesecondes

Guests: Kevin O'Dell from @theydid and Charlie Dunne from @books_on_time

This episode was planned to be about Cartier and the Monaco Legend Auction that took place recently. But then everything went haywire, with the head of Fifthwrist forgetting to set his alarm clock, internet disconnections and a surprise guest? All these unexpected events still make for a nice chat to listen to, and not just about vintage Cartier watches. I hope you like it and have fun listening to our ranting!

Thanks to Kevin Lee for the new microphone!
