Greetings one and all, and welcome to another episode of Hey, HODINKEE! – that freewheeling, anything-goes locus for the horologically curious, and the horologically bi-curious (double wristing smartwatch?), as well.

We're always surprised by your questions but for this episode we have some classics. One solid question that cuts to the heart of collecting is this one: Why do watch brands, up to and including Rolex and Patek, use 18k gold in their cases when 14k gold is stronger?

We also have someone who wants to know how mechanical watches can work in space where there's no gravity, whether or not showering with a watch is going to make it bust a gasket, and, last but not least, what HODINKEE's Jack Forster is most proud of in the evolution of watch culture.
