Here is a link to the newest talking watches with the NBA Finals MVP Andre Iguodala and it is AP heavy. Personally not the best Talking watches however still entertaining

I liked the 15300... pretty beat up though.

srvrf · 24 July 2015, 03:38 AM

Yeah would have liked to see more of his collection.

brettpaul · 24 July 2015, 03:40 AM

Didn't have much with him but I still enjoyed the insight into his collecting habits. Seems very down to earth and likable.

Hey Andre, get those stickers off your skydweller

I don't think I'll be as interesting as anyone on any talking watches at any given time 😂

Did anyone else notice Ben's pocket square looked like an old Rolex cloth?

I thought the same thing!

Seems like a nice fellow. Only wish we saw more of his collection.

el1125 · 24 July 2015, 03:45 PM

Agree w comments that he seems like a nice guy. But from a looking at watches standpoint, this episode was among the worst IMO

I totally agree but maybe Ben was put in an awkward position and Andre just didn't show up with much so he had to work with the pieces that he brought. I remember reading this on Hodinkee when Ben showed up to JC Biver's house to film an episode: "I am standing in Mr. Biver's dining room outside Montreux, Switzerland. We are there to shoot an episode of "Talking Watches" and he says, "Oh! I forgot you were coming. I didn't go to the bank so we will have to work with what I have here." That's fine, but not hearing anything about his collection ahead of time had me worried – was he really a collector or just another industry exec telling a journalist what he wanted to hear? And then he dropped this tray on the table." That was an amazing episode. Would love to see a follow up of what is in the bank vault

It does!

singe89 · 25 July 2015, 11:51 AM

While the number of watches was lacking I really enjoyed the interview. Pretty cool to see how a recent world champion and finals MVP feels about our hobby. It's also cool to see that he actually paid for them and appreciated such a large purchase.

I had the pleasure of meeting Andre a couple times at UofA when the basketball team had the weight room before us. You could tell he was very hard working with a passion for the game. Really glad to see the success Andre, Steve Kerr and Luke Walton (all AZ alum) had this year with Golden State.

kilyung · 25 July 2015, 11:57 AM

Egads! It hurts to see that 15300 scratched up like that. This helps though.

Sorry if I missed in a prior post.

Als up down in platinum I've been eyeing it for more than a year But instead I got 2 watches with that money 5712 and 5164 and my second grail is the FPJ centigraphe in platinum which probably would come after the ALS. I am also a huge fan of Richard Mille but it's the most stereotypical Arab watch I can get in Dubai after Rolex 😂 so I'll wait it out for now and think about my 2 grails. My collection now is 5712,5164,Big Bang UAE edition LE 40/100, no date subc, 15300,JLC geophysic and AP 44mm FC
