If you know comedy or if you know cars, you know Spike Feresten. Spike has been a mainstay of the American comedy scene for upwards of two decades - getting his start as the receptionist at Saturday Night Live (where he earned the nickname "Spike") before becoming a regular writer for SNL, focusing heavily on the then Dennis Miller-hosted Weekend Update. He would go on to write for Late Night With David Letterman and eventually end up as the author of several of the most iconic episodes of the most iconic sitcom in history. I'm talking about Seinfeld, and Spike's episodes include "The Soup Nazi," "The Wig Master," and "The Muffin Tops," just to name a few. Like I said, iconic.

“Everybody deserves to own a cool watch”, this dude is the man, my very favorite talking watches episode

@bplusr 7 жыл бұрын

Finally an episode with a regular guy who doesn't know everything and doesn't care. He just buys what he likes and I can relate to that. This is definitely in the top list of episodes.

Brandon Rebuck I thought this episode was fantastic. He had a collection of watches that many would be within the reach of many of us, not just grail watches and unique pieces. Don't get me wrong, I love the John Goldberger's of this world but I thought this was very refreshing. As someone else said, he didn't know everything but didn't care.

This episode is the most wholesome episode of Hodinkee Talking Watches. No inflated egos or talk about the inner mechanics of watches, just two guys talking about their love and passion for watches. Hodinkee needs more of this.

itsKibble Talks Watches I share your impression. This guy worked on Seinfeld, so It could only be good.

@MaheshAmarasinghe 7 жыл бұрын

it dose feel very natural. seems Feresten really enjoy his watches and not a collector for the sake of it :) most of his watch acquisitions are based on some important event in his life/career so i think that brings more joy to him wearing these watches.

Its about sharing the love for watches, not who has the most impressive collection. It might not be impressive to you, but it is impressive to others.

@Andy-ri1ns 7 жыл бұрын

nickpap1 Other than the vintage Daytona I'm not into his collection. However, I love his passion for all of his watches. Why does everything have to be a dick measuring competition these days? I am fairly sure he has enough capital to have a box full of Lange, Patek or possibly GF duel tourbillons..... It's all about what makes each collector smile. Who gives a f*ck if he has a Nike?

That thing about waiting for the day the date is finally correct, well, I don't mind with the good quickset ones, then its fast and easy, but the non-quickset date, I do wait for the next month to come around before I war it again... Also I have a Enicar day-date who has a finicky quickset date and no quickset day, thats very rarely used because it takes so much time and effort to set it...
