In this episode, Mo & Gene get brutally honest about the biggest mistakes they’ve made buying watches—and the ones they see all too often in the community. From falling for hype watches and emotional purchases to skipping critical research and underestimating the cost of ownership, they break it all down to help you steer clear of costly regrets. Whether you’re just getting into watches or deep into collecting, this cautionary (and slightly embarrassing) conversation will help you buy smarter, avoid common pitfalls, and—most importantly—just buy what you like.
What does your favorite character’s watch say about them? In this episode of The Dialed In Podcast, Mo & Gene break down the best (and worst) watch x character pairings spotted in TV and film—from the pitch-perfect symbolism in Succession and The Sopranos to the surprising misfires like Jordan Belfort’s TAG Heuer in Wolf of Wall Street. Kicking things off with White Lotus, the duo dives deep into how timepieces elevate storytelling, define character, and reflect status. Plus, they close with a fun twist: if James Bond had no brand obligations, what would 007 wear in 2025? Spoiler: it’s not what you think.
Beyond telling time, the humble wristwatch can be a powerful catalyst for connection. In Episode 4, Mo & Gene dive into the fascinating ways watch enthusiasts bond with each other - from sparking conversations about favorite brands and movements to sharing deeply personal stories tied to cherished timepieces. We explore the shared passion, the sense of community, and the unexpected friendships that can blossom simply by noticing what's on someone's wrist. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your horological journey, tune in to join the conversation and find out why these pieces of outdated technology unlock some of the most meaningful connections with others.
