Kaz and Mike sit down on a cozy Saturday morning to talk watches and the art of sticking to your office chair after not showering for a week.

Kaz also spends some time with an awesome new racing chrono and Mike thinks about a cool new pilot chronograph. Finally, the Snobs talk about h...

Mike is still loving the Doxa “Black Lung” as it steals serious wrist time from his other watches. Should Kaz fix the crystal on his Big Zero if the damage is actually part of a special memory?
