  • 209: Q&A - What if a Tudor was designed by Jiro Katayama, and other pressing questions!
    Aug 20 2025

    It's been a long time since our last Q&A, and we got some great questions from you all! We discuss how a brand's watch photography can be misleading, what we'd do if we were put in charge at Rolex, a This Watch Life collab watch, who we will leave our watches to since we don't have kids, what to do with a wedding watch after divorce, and more!


    Thanks for the questions, @bytereview, @jbobswatches, @right.arm.watches, @alpharo_uk, @watch_girl_life, @nomoschino, @ten10fiftynine, @hour_you_doin, @supinderbedi, and @dials_crown.

  • 208: Selling all but a 5 watch collection... what to keep?
    Aug 14 2025

    In this episode we go through our choices for the five watches we would each keep from our existing collections if we had to just own 5, and couldn't buy any more, EVER. Essentially building our forever collections.


    This was inspired by the #fivewatchcollection Instagram community hashtag started by Nacho and Morgan.
