== Introduction ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Yeah, so we're going to do, we have a couple of notes, but the thing I wanted to do in this very last episode is clear out the backlog of Ask TPA, because we have a lot of them. And I feel guilty when I don't get to the questions in a timely fashion, especially if I think they're good podcast Ask TPA and I don't reply. I'll say, hold that thought, I'll answer it on the show, and then people are stuck waiting for an answer. Like, is that fair? I don't feel that's fair sometimes.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, then, hopefully we can get to those today then, and then it will be fair and right in the world.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We are zeroing out the Ask TPA doc today. So, this is all the open questions. So, if I missed your question, it's gone, and you should ask me again. If it's not covered today, I don't have it, and you're not getting an answer. So, ask me again. So, start again. Start over. Yeah. Yeah. What time should they ask?

'''Myke Hurley:''' The time is now, but if they want it to be cool, well, okay. So, I was on Instagram a couple of days ago, and I saw from Aaron Draplin a watch. He's collaborated with Timex to make a watch, and I was like, oh, wow. That looks amazing. When does it go on sale? And obviously, because of the timeline, you know, the way things work, right? You see things, and you might see them out of order. These watches, they went up for sale and were gone in, like, minutes. Yep. And maybe, it looks like there's going to be more at some point, but it's going to be pre-orders, and it's going to be a while. So, hopefully, I can get one, because it's priced really well, too. It wasn't expensive at all, and it is absolutely stunning. I think it is just a beautiful, beautiful watch. It's all black and orange and white with, like, big, chunky letters. There's 250 of the first edition of them. It's a real stunner, and I really just really want one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, it's great looking, and I'm very similar to you in that the first time I was made aware of this project was when I saw a tweet from Aaron Draplin saying, boy, that went fast. They're all sold out, and I'm like, what are you even talking about? And it's this Timex collaboration. Like, you've seen my Timex Todd Snyder watch, the red and black bullseye, I think. If not, I can share it with you. Like, I like this style of watch. I would not have bought this one. I don't like the black faces in general, but if there is a white face version later down the line, I might have to jump on it because I like this style of watch. Like, it's a very casual watch, but it's got a cool theme and feel to it, and it's just neat. I like it, and I know they sold out, like, quickly, like, in the span of minutes, if not more than an hour.

'''Myke Hurley:''' 1,080 seconds as per the blog post.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Wow. They were $85. Oh, wow.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I didn't even realize that because I, like, paid twice that for mine, which I still was happy with. Like, I paid, I want to say $140, $160 for the custom Timex I got for that price. Yeah. I might have just bought one for that price, right?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. I mean, I really hope that I can get one in the second edition, which will be in a few months' time or whatever, but I really loved it.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. It's kind of just a perfect, good-looking knockabout watch.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Mm-hmm.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Mm-hmm. Speaking of knockabout, Myke, the Lamy All-Star does not really like it when you knock it about. It's an aluminum barrel. Did you know that?

'''Myke Hurley:''' I was aware of that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's why the Safari is the best Lamy, but we don't know what Safari Special Edition is in store for us next year, but we do know what All-Star Special Edition is out there for us in 2020. And I feel like I've seen this before, maybe somewhere in the past. What do you think about Tourmaline, the Lamy All-Star Special Edition for 2020? So I'm confused.
