  • Watch talk? Yes. Reference numbers? Not so much.

    11 Episodes in and everyone episode makes me smile and every episode makes me want to jump in on the conversation. These 2 friends are separated by “the pond”. brought together by their love of watches. Iman and Chris share their love of watches and life with us.

Episode 27: Our First Wristiversary - Therapy Session, Royal Pop Fiasco, and Audience Questions
Q: What watch is boring at first glance but ultimately brilliant?
The hosts propose that watches like the Hamilton Khaki Field, Rolex Explorer, and Tudor Black Bay 1 can appear unremarkable at first but reveal depth and versatility when worn, making them highly satisfying choices for those who value build quality and timeless design.
Episode 28: Special Guest, Frank (Chris's Brother), Joins The Wristies - Talks Timex to Rolex and Everything in Between
Q: What do you think about microbrands and independents for someone outside the enthusiast space?

Episode 28: Special Guest, Frank (Chris's Brother), Joins The Wristies - Talks Timex to Rolex and Everything in Between
Q: What's your current stance on Rolex in the hobby, given the love-hate relationship you describe?

Episode 28: Special Guest, Frank (Chris's Brother), Joins The Wristies - Talks Timex to Rolex and Everything in Between
