Ep #80: Can The Perpetual Palledone Cure Rolex Shame & Is New Gallet The New Tudor? With RJ Broer from Fratello
Description
He is back! Last seen in Episode 40, he now returns for Episode 80! Mr Fratello, and good friend of the show, RJ Broer, joins us again for another bout of insightful and informed watch talk with the CP7 Boys.
Catching up on what has been happening in the watch world, we first delve into George Kern's House of Brands and the recent relaunch of Gallet at Geneva Watch Days. Find out RJ's, and our, take on whether there was a need for the brand to return. Are Breitling and the House of Brands taking a risk by having such a close association in their boutiques? Is Gallet Breitling's version of how Tudor is to Rolex?
Talking of which, Rolex is a brand that is loved by many and loathed by others, but it always gets the watch world talking. They have uncharacteristically re-released a watch: their Rolex Perpetual Padellone Annual Calendar. A reissue of their classic Reference 8171, in a bold move to hit the complicated dress watch space hard. Which raises the question... is Rolex Shame now over? Want to know what that is? Listen in and find out why the tables may have finally been turned! Plus, has the Swatch x Audemars Piguet Royal Pop hype finally died, or is it still uncontrollably raging on?
So buckle up and enjoy the ride as we talk Gallet, annual calendars, Bioceramic pocket watches and THAT shame, with one of our favourite guests, and remember, wear your Rolex with pride!
