"Ebel Gisele Brasilia" – say that five times fast! This week, the boys go so far off the beaten path you'd think they were on a completely different podcast. But this is indeed Burlingame & Park, and once the ship is finally brought back around (after a lengthy deleted tangent on the Concord Watch Company and a heavily edited tangent on the Ebel Brasilia), the boys are sharing thoughts on the biggest G-Shock update in 40 years, along with a little behind-the-scenes look at Topper's second collaboration with DOXA, and a return to the shadowy Farallon Islands off the coast of San Francisco.

Ever wondered how a 38mm watch could wear large? Or how a 46mm watch could feel more like a 42? This week, the boys are packing a pair of digital calipers to unpack an optical illusion and solve an age-old mystery on why size certainly matters, but perhaps not using the traditional watch measurements we're accustomed to seeing. We're also tapping in with new store arrivals, spooky movie picks, and lots more.

It’s been ten years since Omega launched the Globemaster, and without an anniversary edition or celebration in sight, we thought we’d hold our own, with a special deep dive on one of the most wildly underrated, and story-rich references in the maker’s archive.

It's no secret that the Burlingame & Park crew has a soft spot for Omega, and ever since our "Twenty Years of the Planet Ocean" episode back in February of this year, the boys have been looking for an excuse to do a similar deep dive on the Seamaster Aqua Terra – the ultimate GADA (Go-Anywhere-Do-Anything) watch, and a watch that has a whole lot more collectability and range than most would expect.

But this wasn't just any production visit, and there was nary a Fifty Fathoms to be seen, because as Jay explains, this was a rare, exclusive look at how some of the maker's most prestigious creations come to life.

What is the perfect summer watch? Is it a colorful, affordable Seiko? Or a burly dive watch bristling with all the latest technology? Or perhaps a hybrid combination of both? This week on the pod, the guys each pick three of their favorite summer watches in a spirited roundtable style draft where only one trio will emerge victorious. With "Summer Vibes," "Under $1,000" and "Any Price" as our key categories, whose picks do you think came out on top?

Fresh off the heels of Breitling's summer blockbuster release of the Superocean Heritage, the boys had a chance to sit down with Breitling's Global Head of Heritage Gianfranco Gentile to talk about the origins of this unique dive watch, and how it made such a lasting impact since its launch in 1957 – an impact that still persists, now with the launch of the newest Heritage line nearly 70 years later. And be sure to stick around for a Universal Geneve & Gallet teaser, as these are also both brands that Gianfranco is directly involved with!

This week on Burlingame & Park, Russ is in Las Vegas for the Couture show, so we tapped Topper's very own Jay Liu, who just returned from a life-changing visit to the Parmigiani manufacture in Fleurier. Rob is also freshly returned from a visit to the Omega manufacture in Bienne, and together, these two visits formed very distinctly different, but opposing sides of the same watchmaking coin, and we break it all down on this week's episode.

Does micro-adjust actually matter? Should watch dials really have all that extra writing on them? Does the next Gerald Genta already walk among us? This week the boys are looking to ruffle some feathers around the #watchfam with our own spiciest subway takes, and who better to tap in for this one than our longtime pal and resident New Yorker, Worn&Wound co-founder Zach Weiss.
