Horological bar-talk at its finest.

Ep. 92 Watches in Real Life

This week on the TBWS podcast, Mike and Kaz talk about what it’s like to actually experience a watch or brand in person and how it can affect our perception of certain timepieces. The Orion Field Standard also makes an appearance (on a siiiiick Isofrane strap) and Kaz tells us about a pair of new Gavox chronographs he has in for review.

Ep. #91 The Seiko SKX007… That’s What The Whole Show Is About

After having a blast focusing on the Vostok Amphibia, the guys tackle another iconic watch in the affordable spectrum, the Seiko SKX007. Before kicking things off though, Kaz and Mike look back at what it was like growing up in south Florida and getting excited about air shows. Thankfully, the Blue Angels allowed for a quiet recording session, even though they were performing all weekend close to downtown Seattle.

Ep. #90 Watch Brands We Know Nothing About Part 4: Citizen

Things are heating up but Kaz and Mike are focused on discussing a brand they felt unfamiliar with. This time, it’s Citizen and the guys fumble their way through some pretty cool discoveries surrounding this Japanese brand that really deserves more attention.

Ep. #88 Fake Ass Watches

In what is probably the hottest recording session this summer, Kaz and Mike sit down and talk about the insane world of high-end replica watches. Aside from that, Kaz has put together an excellent eBay listing guide for a handful of Soviet watches and Mike contemplates freezing himself artificially for a few hundred years with his Orient Mako…. all in a day’s work, of course.

Ep. 87 Do Watch Brands Care About The Second Hand Market?

The Snobs are back to their regularly scheduled programming this week! Today, they take some time to speculate about the current “stainless steel crisis” some brands are experiencing while talking about second hand market support. Plus, in case you were wondering, Mike would totally break vegan and eat Kaz in a survival situation.

TBWS Patreon Special #3 & #4: Two Episode Special Bonanza!

Hey, everyone! This week Mike and I thought we’d do something a bit different and special for all of you. This week’s show is actually two shows in the form of our sister-show the TBWS Patreon Special. That’s about 2 hours of podcast content on two very different topics.

Ep. 85 Discovering GMT Watches

We’ve talked about affordable GMT watches before but this week, we explore the history of the complication and discuss its utility. From the earliest GMT watches to today’s modern quartz icons, this episode will give you a fun run-down of these timepieces and how they relate to aviation history in general.

Ep. 84 Father’s Day Watches Under $65

This week the guys just talk about birds. That’s it – they’re the Two Broke Bird Snobs now. Mike is all alone and feral, eating beans straight out of the can and Kaz shares the saddest dog story you’ll ever hear.

Ep. 83 Mistakes We’ve Made As Watch Collectors

Mike and Kaz are reunited after a brief recording hiatus and it’s time to catch up. This week, the guys talk about some of the biggest mistakes watch collectors make. Kaz is also finding it harder to part with the Nodus Trieste. Special thanks to everyone who has entered the giveaway so far!

Ep. 82 Revisiting Homage Watches

The time travelling watch snobs bring you another episode from the past! Fear not, our regular scheduling will resume this coming week. For now, it’s time to talk homage watches… again. By the way, the moscato from last week makes another appearance.

Ep. 81 Watchfam Crossover, Stolen Moscato, and TBWS World Travel..?

The show finally pivots and the guys agree that this entire TBWS thing is simply a support group for folks that are completely insane… about watches. This week, we finally reveal the details about our 5k follower giveaway as Kaz enjoys some succulent Passover moscato. Delish. There’s even a new Richemont brand that makes its way into the discussion this week!
