Episode description

Are prototypes worth considering? Is Universal Genève the next 44mm Breitling for Bentley? What should you wear if you're a middle-aged insurance broker? And just WTF is going on with the market right now? Erik & Max explain as they attempt to make a podcast, if anyone is interested. This is our pre-production podcast, where the dial fits a little strange, quality is questionable, and some of the text is a bit off.
