    Good show outside of the pretentiousness and college student who seems to have family money buying her way into a “collection.” The other two hosts carry the show. They don’t understand Grand Seiko which is surprising considering one of them like Movado.

  • Podcast ingredients : fair dose of snobbery, not a lot of watches

    Don’t you guys ever listen to the recording before uploading it ?

    Jacklyn’s microphone is turned up to eleven but we can barely hear Lang. And it has been going on for months.
