Joe Rogan Podcast, check it out.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

Oh, just tell me about that watch. What is that?

Brendan Schaub (0:19)

This is a Hoyer from 1950

Joe Rogan (0:21)

1950

Brendan Schaub (0:22)

Yeah, so before Tog bought Hoyer.

Joe Rogan (0:25)

Is it Tag or is it Tog?

Brendan Schaub (0:26)

It depends. My dad always told me Tog.

Might be Tag though.

Joe Rogan (0:30)

Well, it's spelled T-A-G, it could be Tog.

Brendan Schaub (0:33)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

Tag, Tog.

Brendan Schaub (0:34)

But before they collabed with them or went into business with them, there was just Hoyer. So this is a 1950 Hoyer.

Joe Rogan (0:40)

Wow. That's an old fucking watch.

Brendan Schaub (0:42)

Super old, man. That's definitely haunted.

Joe Rogan (0:45)

Yeah, right?

Brendan Schaub (0:46)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:46)

There's something cool about that, having something that's that old.

Brendan Schaub (0:49)

And no one else, you're not going to see a lot of it. I like shit no way in the world has. Kind of like cars, same with cars.

Joe Rogan (0:56)

Do you have to wind it every morning? Yes.

Brendan Schaub (0:58)

It's annoying, but it's worth it.

What do you got there? Is that Omega?

Joe Rogan (1:01)

No, it's a Grand Seiko.

This is a winder too. You have to wind this thing too. It's got a spring drive. It shows you on here when it's winding up.

Brendan Schaub (1:09)

Yeah, I appreciate it.

Joe Rogan (1:10)

Yeah, you know Matt Farah from The Smoking Tire?

Brendan Schaub (1:12)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:13)

He turned me on to Grand Seikos.

Brendan Schaub (1:14)

They're great.

Joe Rogan (1:15)

Yeah, dude. It's such a beautiful design. They're Cole Company, like the way they designed watches. So they call it Zoratsu. This is like hand polished finish. They do. They take it to like the ultimate detail level.

Brendan Schaub (1:30)

If you get too into watches, it's gonna get expensive.

Joe Rogan (1:32)

Yeah.

Brendan Schaub (1:33)

Well, did you give your boy Lex Friedman a watch?

Joe Rogan (1:35)

Yes, I did.

Brendan Schaub (1:36)

I would give you this one, but my wife gave me this from 1950 1950, I just can't do that, dude. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:41)

Don't give me that watch.

Brendan Schaub (1:41)

Just buy the company. Just buy the company.

Joe Rogan (1:45)

Well, Lex had this bullshit watch that he bought from amazon.com for like 20 bucks.

It's giant, like a frisbee. It looked goofy in his nice suit and everything. He dressed so nice. And I was like, you need a real watch. And then I was a little drunk. I was like, I'm gonna give him my watch.

Brendan Schaub (1:59)

Yeah, tight move.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

It's my favorite watch, too. Because it has a moon on it.

Brendan Schaub (2:03)

Was it Omega?

Joe Rogan (2:04)

Yeah, it's an Omega Speedmaster Moonphase watch.

Brendan Schaub (2:07)

I love Omega's.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

I do, too. And the Moonphase watch has a high resolution, a tiny, high resolution image of the moon. And it shows you the exact position of the moon in the sky.

Brendan Schaub (2:19)

That's so cool.

Joe Rogan (2:19)

So like when the moon is like at half moon, it shows it on the watch. When it's at full moon, it shows it on the watch. But like when you see, see if I can get an image of that.

Brendan Schaub (2:27)

Does he know watches? Was he stoked? Or was he like, oh cool.

Joe Rogan (2:30)

I don't know how much he knows about watches.

Brendan Schaub (2:32)

Probably went home and looked it up.

Joe Rogan (2:33)

But it was legitimately my favorite watch. But just because of the Moonphase aspect of it. Plus, it's just Omega's a classic company.

It's not too showy. Like Rolex is very showy. Like if you have a Rolex, it's like you want to let everybody know. They're great watches. Nothing wrong with it.

Brendan Schaub (2:49)

Some would say the best. But it's like it's become too almost pop culture. Like I have a sub banner from 1991

Joe Rogan (2:56)

That's the black band version of it, but it's very similar to the one that I have with the steel band. So see that image of the Moon? Yeah, it's like a perfect image, like high resolution image of the Moon. Just very tiny.

Brendan Schaub (3:07)

And what color band was yours?

Joe Rogan (3:08)

Mine was steel. It's all steel. Yeah. So it's basically the same watch just with a steel.

That was the watch. That's it right there.
