94: The journey from seeing a watch to buying it
In today's episode we talk about the journey we typically go on from seeing a watch for the first time, be it in a photo or a video or on someone's wrist, to buying it.
We all have our different routines, and Lydia and Vu approach this very differently, to the surprise of no one.

93: Watch engravings - do they change the value of your watch?
In today's episode we talk about some recent watch engravings that we have had done on the case backs of a few important gift watches. We discuss the value that it brings, the value that it takes away, and how we like to approach the thought around what to engrave.

90: How do you save for a watch without getting distracted by more affordables?
Today we answer a question by @swizzmamba asking what we prefer, arabic, roman or no numerals on a dial. And @jordi.nunez asks how one tries to save money for a big watch purchase when there are so many distractions along the way that are more affordable and easy to buy.

89: Are GMTs even useful? Can a GADA watch work in a specialized collection?
In this episode we discuss GMTs and whether they are useful to most people, and whether or not they are even useful for travelers, spurred by a question by @syktgrei. We also talk about using a dive bezel as a makeshift GMT as per @tedspeaker's suggestion, and discuss whether or not a GADA watch can even work in a collection with specialized pieces, thanks to @adriantbt.

Customer Reviews
Refreshingly Delightful!
Witty, fun banter while also informative or thought provoking. As someone that consumes a lot of watch content, I can say without hesitation this is without equal. Bravo Zulu!
Short but oh so sweet
At first I thought the short, daily format would be unfulfilling. So wrong I be! Between the two hosts constant, happy banter, much information and joy is had. What a gem.
Fun. Casual. Smart.
Can you listen without smiling? Can you get through an episode without learning? This has quickly become my favorite watch podcast - a first person exploration of my watch habit that makes me think without talking down to me. The hosts chemistry is so great… think Ryan and Kelly or the Today Show. Brands should send their *celebrity ambassadors* (not their execs) to this pod for interviews!
