It was an absolute pleasure spending time with, and getting to learn more about, Michael @wh1chw4tch. As soon as you spend a few minutes looking at Michael’s Instagram feed and listening to him speak, you immediately realize he’s an excellent photographer, he’s quite humble, and he loves to engage and contribute to the watch community. He’s definitely creative-minded both in his photography style and in his witty posts and comments. Locally, Michael was one of the pioneering founders of the RedBar Group in Seattle, WA. Please tune in to this episode to learn more about Michael’s thoughts as it pertains to photography and his passion for watches and the watch community.

This episode is a little different than normal in that Ernesto is providing an update of how Bezel Banter is evolving, and he’s sharing what’s to come in the upcoming episodes. Ernesto shares that he’s truly enjoyed connecting with various people and influencers in the watch community, and he would like to continue to utilize Bezel Banter as a platform to collaborate with and highlight various people in our community. If you’re interested in having a conversation with Ernesto, please feel free to DM or email him.

He also talks about being in San Diego during the last week of October for work, and that he’s trying to find some time to watch the most recent James Bond film “No Time To Die” on the big screen. He’s a huge fan of the James Bond series and can’t wait to see how they highlight the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer, 42mm 007 Edition throughout the film.

Ernesto has also been receiving a couple of requests for a State of the Collection (SOTC) review. As Bezel Banter is evolving, so is Ernesto’s taste in watches, and he feels that he needs to streamline his collection prior to doing a SOTC. Therefore, he will be looking for a good home for some of his watches that are not longterm in his collection.

Lastly, please stay tuned to upcoming episodes, which include a Q&A episode with Jeremy @timepeacelove and Daniel @wonger.bonger, as well as other special guests. Thank you, and we appreciate you for all your support!
