I loved the Rogan episode. It wasn't THE thing that turned me onto watches, but it was a positive influence.

I loved how he started from a proper Rolex but still gone through the seiko Mod phase. That’s a proper watch guy right there.
The "collab" nobody expected but makes so much sense. Thank you guys!
Matt and Camron Weiss got me into watches four years ago when they hosted the Watch and listen podcast. Now I am a total watch *Geek* and this has brought me much joy ! Thanks Matt & Camron

Kindness and being interactive with animals is an excellent trait for a watch collector. Good content

How on earth are those traits linked 😂
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.
Great to hear Grand Seiko get recognized for their artistic dials! I have the cherry blossom dial and it is stunning!

It is one of the greatest dials I have ever seen. It just arrests you when you pick it up and stare at it….
I am still sad that the Watch and Listen Podcast ended. I listened to them and somehow Matt made me a watch lover. Thanks for the memories of that show. Thanks, Matt!

I'm pretty tired of people claiming they're "self-made" when they're born into wealthy families. For real, they need to stop claiming they hit a home run when they were born on third base.

Matt always claims he was born privileged. He's humble. He does not deny the advantages he's had in life.

Very nice. Felt a bit odd for me to watch a Watchfinder video where Andrew and Tom didn't do much talking. I'm glad Mr. Farah is helping spread the Grand Seiko gospel. I didn't know who he was until I watched this video.
As a fan of both motoring and horoogy, it is a very exciting thing to see the two collide in this video. Cant thank you guys enough for this vid! Next up, Clarkson/May/Hammod please

Same. Shame not more macro shots on this interview....
Some regular content with Matt would be great, you three do up a cracking show.
Farah! Welcome fellow car guy! Cars and watches just go together.
Cats, cars (plus a Vespa!) *and* watches…I knew I got a good vibe from this guy for a reason. (Nice air-shredding at the end, Andrew!)
The man who elevated Rogan from G-Shock to Spring Drive
Watching that Matt Farah/Joe Rogan watch collecting video is what sparked my interest in watches and particularly in Grand Seiko spring drive. Before that I used to always say - I can just check my phone if I want to know the time.
Dude has like 4 cat trees in his living room alone, put respect on his name.
It felt like Farah was doing a monologue.
ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!! Talk about burying the lede! Congratulations!
My wife bought me a Kermit for our second anniversary 13 years ago as a surprise. She had no idea other than, "it has a pretty color." I didn't realize it was special until later. I love that watch to this day.
Love love love Matt Farah and all his content...especially his podcast. Also love this channel. Great stuff!.....ummm more please!
Congratulations on making it to 1m subscribers! Well deserved
Congrats to 1M subs 🎉❤
I still listen to Matt farrahs watch podcasts, a lot of info I couldn't understand at that time, so a 2nd listen was super entertaining and informative. That ah ha moments. Thanks for having Matt! You should get Joe Rogan on your vlog too.
Good looking watches Matt. Thanks for your time. Tom and Andrew as always thanks
It's refreshing hearing how down to earth Matt Farah is as a watch guy compared to someone like Kevin O'leary.
Turns out I'm one in a million. Thanks for letting me know. That made my day! Congrats to you folks also for the achievement. Really enjoyed the video as well. Matt has a great passion for watches and it really shone through in this interview.
great episode, car guy here and watch enthusiast
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.
Matt is one of my clients, and he got me into watches. :)
Forget the watches, can we talk about his insane cat-environment? I’m sooooo jealous and impressed
Congratulations on the million subscribers! You guys deserve it.🎉
Great guest guys! Love The Smoking Tire and the one takes
I will take any opportunity to listen to Matt Farrah talk about watches
Nice eclectic collection Matt. .
Really enjoyed that , Great vid.
More of this please even on your other channel. This was great!
@thesmokingtire would love to see Andrew somehow become a guest on the Smoking Tire podcast, so he can talk freely about cars 👍🏼
Matt is such a big part of my car enthusiasm! Really loved hearing more about his thoughts on watch collecting.
I recently purchased a Grand Seiko SBGA413 Shunbun as my first luxury watch. It is amazing looking and feels great.
Shred it, buddy!
I met Matt last year when he was in my town for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. We talked watches for a minute. He was wearing a sweet carbon fiber Panerai.
I love my Grand Seiko, but you had better be prepared to see it’s value plummet as soon as you leave the AD. Don’t get me wrong. They are absolutely beautiful and probably truly worth twice their price, at least compared to the big prestige brands.
As a fan of both channels, this is just perfect.
That Tag F1 was 🔥🔥 back in the 80s! Had the red/black version
So cool to see two of my favourite content creators do a crossover. That rogan podcast was a big part(all though not exclusively) what got me interested in watches.
Great video on both parties part! Love Matt's watch content.
smoothest ending to an interview ive eveer seen, almost like hanging up the phone unexpectedly. lolololol.
Just got a Grand Seiko thanks to Matt
Oh boy, and I was recently looking specifically for orange faced watch options.
Bloody miss the Watch & Listen
I like how he is geeking out over Seikos. That's a collector, not a status seeker.
hanna > banana > yellow watch. love the connection lol
I would love to see a discussion with Cameron Weiss on this channel. His knowledge and experience would make for an interesting conversation and he’s putting out some really nice watches these days. Cheers!

Where did Matt get those watch cases from?
Those watch organizers look great. Anyone knows who makes them?
I love the Explorer, so naturally I was going to like that Nodus, but the sector dial made me really like it.
Congrats on 1M!
A million congratulations
Awesome video thanks! Had me researching Nobus but sadly they are made in China… i wish they were not and i would definitely try to get one. Great designs tho
Love love Craft and Tailored getting a shout out!
Wow, congratulations on 1m subscribers. I subbed when it was 300k+. Did the numbers explode because of your face? 😂 Keep it up!
why are the watches on the left case mirrored but the ones on the right not.....

How coincidental that the guy loves now watches that you can throw the biggest overhead on steel/no complications 😂
congrats on the big M ^.^
Love the black cats! Fellow black-cat fan here 😀 We have two!
A letter? Neato. How about sending him a watch with the letter?
Great video. New appreciation for Matt and his work. Cheers!
The Orange looks more salmon pink and it really Pops.
I love it

This guy is a good salesman. He can make it sound like that garish Nodus is desirable.
Was just listening to the Smoking Tire before this
I don't take advice on anyone who is allergic to Tesla.
So his "perfect" watch is essentially a Rolex Explorer 1 but he doesn't own one🤔🤔🤔
I'm not a fan of Joe Rogan, for he largely built his channel on baseless conspiracy theories and prior fame. Matt, on the other hand, is a respectable, knowledgeable wristwatch collector. And as much money as he has, it's nice to know he appreciates affordable watches.
Man has an amazing goatee. Oh no, most of it is the mic fluff! 😂
4x cats is a lot of cat 💩

Grand Seiko is an amazing watch company BUT their clashing logos and fonts are like scratching on a chalkboard. Would never own one because the suits are lazy thinkers.
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.
You guys should have Ed Sheeran
Forget the watches! Let’s see the cats!
