Kaz and Mike share their opinions on some of the earliest Baselworld 2017 releases and actually find themselves excited about quite a few. Kaz can’t stop choking on his Thin Mints and finds himself floored by the new Frederique Constant Flyback Chronograph Manufacture. The guys also can’t seem to make sense of the newest Rolex Sea-Dweller.

The snobs then go on to discuss the idea of watches that have slipped through their fingers or “the ones that got away.” Plus, shoutouts for Gearzeit.com!

@nannermanor...We are so sorry we couldn’t say your name right.

Mike misses his ‘69 Smiths W10 and Kaz goes into a caffeine and hunger-induced rage over a watch that has haunted him since his earliest days of collecting. The dog also feel the need to join in, of course.
