Talking Hands: The Rolex Explorer II
Not only do we have the brand new Explorer II under close observation here at Prodigal Towers but we’ve put it up against the previous generation too. And, as if that wasn’t enough, we thought it interesting to line these two brothers up in front of the rest of the family: the Rolex sports model range in its entirety. So, we have an Explorer, a GMT-Master II, a Daytona and a no-date Submariner – just to put the Explorer II in context you understand.
The result is the longest Talking Hands we’ve ever recorded – but we think the piece deserves that level of attention. Our verdict? You’ll have to watch to find out.
Pour yourself a drink, hit play and join us for Talking Hands.

Talking Hands: The Frédérique Constant Runabout
Welcome to Talking Hands number 15 or, as it’s referred to here at Prodigal Towers, “the one in which the booze finally got the better of us.”
The watch is the Frédéric Constant Runabout – a piece with a lot going for it that, ultimately, the Fool and Six find it hard to agree on – but the real star of the show turns out to be the Luxardo Cola Sambuca, a drink so wrong it might just be right. Our advice? Enjoy it in moderation. We only wish we had.

Talking Hands: The Schofield Signalman GMT PR
This may be one of the strangest Talking Hands we’ve ever recorded. And not because of the odd-ball, esoteric nature of the watch in question: The Schofield Signalman GMT PR. The Talisker (or ‘truth serum’ as it’s known here at Prodigal Towers) seems to have done very strange things to Straight-Six.
You know what to do: pour yourself a drink, hit play and join…er…him for Talking Hands.

Talking Hands: Bremont Supermarine 500
In this episode of the greatest watch review show on the interwebs, we look at something of an oddity for Bremont (a brand most associated with aviation): their diver watch, the Supermarine 500.

Talking Hands: MeisterSinger
Talking Hands time again, folks, and it’s something of a double-bill this time. MeisterSinger only puts one hand on its watches so, to compensate, we’ve crammed two watches into this episode: the sleek, minimalist No.03 and the more complex – and to our eyes more interesting – Perigraph.

Talking Hands: The Rolex Oyster Perpetual, reference 1530
It’s Talking Hands time again. And this time, the Fool and Six sit down after dinner and far too many drinks to discuss the watch it seems you’ve all been waiting to hear about: the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, reference 1530.

Talking Hands: The Marvin 160 Malton Cushion
The Fool and Straight-Six sit down over a bottle of tequila to discuss the Marvin 160 Malton Cushion. A rather shambolic episode of Talking Hands ensues but we think it’s still worth your time, not least to feast your eyes on a truly enchanting watch.

Talking Hands: The Panerai Luminor Marina
The Fool and Straight-Six sit down over a bottle of Scotch to discuss the Panerai Luminor Marina. A very long episode of Talking Hands ensues, covering the brand’s rich heritage, the link to Rolex, the now slightly dodgy image and a larger discussion about the current trend for producing new watches that look old.
