    Hadn’t heard of Matt until he was on Rogan, it’s no wonder those two are friends. Just a genuine human being, humble in all of his success. Like it would be so easy for him to show that vintage Speedmaster and tell us all that it’s a high value original but he can’t lol it’s not in his nature, he immediately clarifies that it has a service movement but he loves it when it’s on his wrist. So glad that you connected with this guy Andrew.

    What a great guy he is and so down to earth which is refreshing to see. So many put on fake personas in todays social media driven world. So many men that fit into that big strong man image will also hide there softer side such as loving cats and being kind to them. I am part of the big strong guy group from my appearance and most people when getting to know me ask what sort of dog I have yet I am a cat lover and I don't hide that fact.

    These types of interviews are great with the face cams. However please take your face off the watch reviews and showcases. I want 100% watch accompanied by witty dialogue, your face just takes away from that. Take a look at watchbox for example: Tim shows his face regularly during streams and interview, but when a watch is in focus, he stays back and simply informs us about it.
