The Zodiac Olympos! Perfectly Imperfect
I've been obsessed with this one since I first saw it. The Zodiac Olympos. It's a blast from the past that's hard to describe. Originally produced in the 1960s, it was a funky watch that felt right at home with its retro sci-fi design and quadrant dial. Yet ultimately it was a watch that wouldn't survive the decade.
However, when Fossil was resurrecting the Zodiac brand they went looking for inspiration in their back catalog. And Inspiration they found with this 37mm gem. I debated on which one I should get until I finally picked up this steely blue version.
A few different places to look for this one, but one I'd recommend is Mark over at Long Island Watch.

Collection Conundrum - VADER FEST!
Join us for a mini film festival where we each debut short reviews on the epic Darth Vader Watch.
If you don't remember a few months ago on another episode of the collection Conundrum, Jomashop gave us a small gift certificate to put together a 3 watch collection. We had a little extra left over and picked up a very stealthy Darth Vader watch with the idea we would each put together a small video on it.
Well, it's taken a while, but that day is finally here.

The Baddest Watch in the Galaxy!
Get Ready for the Badest Steathed out the watch in the Galaxy! The Lego Bulbotz Darth Vader Watch!
Long story behind this one, but the short version is that it's all Dave's fault. Many months ago we did a Collection Conundrum episode where Joma Shop gave us a gift card to build a 3-watch collection. We had a little left over and just happened to run across this guy. So we bought it with the idea we would each do a short video / review on it.
So after this check out Dave & Alton's take on it:

A Suprise Phoibos... Bronze Proteus Review
Thanks to Phoibos for gifting the watch to the channel:
https://phoiboswatch.com/categories/collection/proteus.html?ref=6
Use Code: PROTEUS to save $90 Until 3/31
Use Code: relativetime for 10% after that
Over the last few years, Phoibos has been the source of many surprises. Some good, some bad, and some confusing. This is one of the latter. As I wasn't expecting a bronze Proteus. The original steel version came out 3 years ago. The Aged Steel a few months after that, then nothing until now.
As with the previous versions, this one has a Seiko NH35A, double domed sapphire, good lume, and a unique style.

shane@relative-time.com
https://www.relative-time.com/watches-for-sale/
I've been asked for a while to do a new STOC, but I keep putting it off. Partly because I'm not sure how to go about presenting and organizing the mess I currently have. I've been meaning to go through and organize my watches for a while. To decide what'sstill a keeper, and what I should sell. So I thought, why not do it live.
So get ready for a STOCunlike any other, where I'm not just going to show what's here, but also organize it with your help. Plus, if we're lucky we will have some help with the other hosts of the Collection Conundrum. Dave & Alton.

When Seiko announced the NH34 GMT movement, this is what I was excited about. It wasn't the new Seiko SSK line, but the thought that many a microbrand would have the ability to create their own original and creative GMTs.
This time it's Aragon up to bat. With the very creative Millipede Evo GMT. An affordable, steampunk-ish watch.

A Longines / Farer Crossover From San Martin? San Martin Sector SN0108-G2
Thanks to San Martin For sending this... A little heads-up next time would be nice.
SN0108-G2: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DnKrpDR
A few weeks ago I got a surprise box in the mail. It was a watch from San Martin, the SN0108-G2. I wasn't expecting it, but it was a pleasant surprise. A gorgeous 38.5mm watch with a sector-style design. Kind of like a cross between a Longines Sector and a Farer.

Today we are taking a long-delayed look at Orient's Current Top Diver. The 1964 2nd Edition. A retro refresh from their past. A remake of the Orient Calender Auto from 1964, brought up to modern Orient Star Standards.
Out of their current collection, it's their most expensive diver at around $1000 MSRP. However... is it really worth it?

Oozing with Old School Seiko Goodness, The Proxima PX1695 Review
Thanks to Proxima for giving the watch to the channel:
Proxima PX1695 https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dc6pkIL
Ever hear of the Seiko Superior line from the 70s? Me neither, but evidently Proxima has. As they reached way back to get some inspiration from this homage.
Also a couple corrections to the video. The Seiko Superior that inspired this was not part of the Seiko 5 line, no idea why I said that. Also, I was mistaken about the logo.. sort of. In the past, the Unicorn has been the Uni-Dive brand's logo, and the Proxima logo has just been the name. Although recently I've been seeing their watches use the Unicorn with Proxima brand as well.

This has got to be the strangest Phoibos yet... and perhaps the best-built Phoibos since the Great Wall. With a heavy-duty stainless steel case, Selita SW200 movement, Ton of lume, and enhanced Anti-Magnetic properties, the Vortex is a watch to contend with.

Did The Best Zelos Just Get Better? Spearfish GMT Review
Thanks to Zelos for giving the Spearfish GMT to the channel:
https://zeloswatches.com/collections/spearfish-40mm-diver
Out of all the watches from Zelos I've seen, the spearfish is by far my favorite. It's almost the ideal microbrand diver. Well, it's finally back... sort of. Zelos has created a GMT version, using the newer Selita SW330-2. Which improves upon the original with an increased power reserve.

-Warning- If You Used Pagani Design Offical Store Recently, Please Watch.
Update After filing a dispute with Aliexpress and providing photos of what arrived. Aliexpress has confirmed that the watch is now on the way, his buyer's protection has been extended, and the order has changed back awaiting delivery.
So if you also get that letter, I highly advise you to immediately file a dispute with the platform against the store for that order.
The Poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxOfYSlJhPiMRdjGKcEusqqlT4cDdJUWJB
If you have recently ordered from The Pagni Design Offical Store on Aliexpress you need to watch out for when your order arrives!
