We are incredibly pleased to present a special episode of the JJJ Show. 

If you’re new here, the JJJ Show is hosted by Jeff Hilliard, Jeremy Kirkland, and Jian DeLeon. It’s our fashion head podcast where we rant and dissect everything in menswear and fashion.

BUT THIS episode is the one where we finally convinced Lance Panda, the influencer’s influencer, to come on board.

We recorded this the day we left Tokyo, and it almost didn’t happen, but we got it!

So, who is Lance Panda? Well, he’s a bit of a mystery, yes, he’s on social media, but Lance is honestly just a collector, and in my opinion, that one friend we all have who reminds you how much fun it is to like clothes, music, watches, whatever it is.

We chat a bit about Lance’s style, getting into the Japanese brand Goros, collecting Rolex, and why liking what you like is the best way to collect.

My guest this week is Quaid Walker, co-founder of Bezel.

Quaid and I jump right in on the excitement and occasional anxiety of the watch world.

We discuss watch churn, how Bezel has evolved over the years, imposter syndrome, getting nuts on auctions, engravings, and those classic “can I pull this off” moments.
