This week the guys take some time to candidly share the watches they’re actually considering as purchases for 2018. The wrist check is also a fun one, as both of the snobs share some old time favorites and a very particular watch that hasn’t been on the show for some time. Also, a microbrand offering a 7750 chronograph for under €1,000? Yeah, you bet your ass that made it’s way into the discussion.

Fliegers, Soviet pulsometers, and chunky Orient dive watches. 2018 might be a fun-filled watch buying year for Kaz and Mike, so be sure to check out this week’s podcast and find out what might be coming to their collections very soon.

  1. Great episode guy! Dream of mine is to have all the SKX line up. There are so many. Both of you should go ahead and get the damn watches already. Seriously.

    • Thanks, man – super glad you enjoyed this week’s episode. Ha… all I’m going to say is keep your eye on the feed this Friday.

      Also yea, man – having the whole SKX lineup would be a pretty cool collection to have. It tells a really fun narrative of a seemingly accessible but really dynamic piece. I also can’t even remember how many different SKX versions there are out there lol.

  2. Awesome episode! Looking forward to seeing those acquisitions come in 😀 The only watch I am planning on getting is the Seiko SARW013 but it probably won’t be until next year… Hopefully Seiko doesn’t discontinue it in the meantime.

  3. Great episode! I have to say, when you guys were talking about figuring out dinner with your spouses and the whole Peruvian Guava meat / Unicorn meat, I was literally in tears from laughing!!!

    As for watches, I’m hoping to add a dive watch to my collection some time this year. I’d really like the CW C65 Trident (which you guys just wrote about on the site!). Chances are I’ll score a less expensive dive watch before the C65 (e.g. Seiko, Spinnaker or Nodus)… But still hoping to get the C65 before the end of 2018 🙂

    • Hey, dude –

      Ahh super happy you enjoyed this week’s show. Dude seriously – with this whole figuring out what we want for dinner thing… the struggle is real.

      Yea that c65 Trident is very prospective, but calling out a seiko, spinnaker, or Nodus is also an option. I don’t have personal experience with spinnaker, but I know Nodus and seiko divers are top notch quality and honestly I don’t think you could go wrong.
