The guys have a chat with the husband and wife team, Lauren and Lorenzo, from Lorier Watches. We get into a brief history of how they started Lorier, which led to them quitting their jobs as teachers (World History for Lauren and French and Economics for Lorenzo, both high school) to focus on Lorier full time. We talk about what their idea is of a perfect watch (hint, it involves a famous super spy) and how their designs speak both to collectors, and people who are looking for one watch to wear ...

This episode is on a different level everyone! The guys sit down with NAABS founder and vintage Rolex collector @moorewatches to talk about how he got into watch collecting, why vintage, why Rolex, and a few other fun stories. We were introduced to @moorewatches via our friend @cincywatchdoc, who has worked on some of the pieces in his collection, including a Speedmaster that was previously owned by someone we all know (hint: he owns a lot of sweaters, among other things). We also talk about how...

On this weeks episode, the guys put their own spin on a Fantasy Watch Draft, taking cues from the most popular episode type in watch podcasting, to the most popular type of watch on the market these days. That's right, we are talking Integrated Bracelet Sports Watch Fantasy Draft! This was such a fun episode to record, and should be a fun listen. The guys are also all wearing watches that aren't their own, and each have a #FreshForumFind from eBay!

Spangler has the night off, so Spence and Buzz talk about Spence's new aquisition, the SARX069, better known as the Seiko Presage Turnograph! After talking about the new acquisition, the guys talk about wearability. Spence is wearing his Tudor Black Bay Steel, which has the same case diameter as the Seiko. As one would expect, the two watches wear differently. Spence and Buzz talk about all of the factors that go into how a watch wears, dial size, bezel width, case thickness, bracelet taper, lug...

Spence, Spangler, and Buzz caught up with Brew Watch Company founder Jonathan Ferrer to talk about his watches, what inspires his design, and what might be coming next from Brew! We get into how he started the company, a little bit about his background, but then also what trends we are all seeing in 2020, what colors could be the next big thing, and how interesting it would be to see microbrand watches in the same store as larger and fashion brands. Buzz has been hands on with the Retrograph for...

Yes, that is 4 W's and 2 &'s, all in the same title! We know that our listener is all about alliteration! Spence, Spangler, and Buzz cover the watches (or some of them) released over the weekend at the Watches & Wonders virtual trade show. They each pick the watch they think is the coolest, as well as a watch they think they would actually be able to pull off as a daily wear.

In this episod, Spence, Spangler, and Buzz talk about the disappointing news: NO NEW PATEK's THIS YEAR! Ha!

In light of the assurance that there will be no Tudor FOMO, the guys talk about What We're Watching, what watch could be next on the horizon for each of them. It is a fun discussion that includes everything from an Alpha Explorer to a Grand S...

This week, Spence, Spangler, and Buzz discuss Watches We Would Want (if they would just change one thing!). We hinted at it last week with Zach, but there are several watches which we love, but once we see one minor detail, we can't unsee it. Whether it has to do with the slightly awkward fit of the Hamilton Intramatic Chrono (a fine watch we all love), the thickness of the Omega Seamaster 300 (a classic vintage looking diver that is on our list), or the presence of EIGHT 5s (yes, EIGHT!) on the...
