Two Broke Watch Snobs

Ep. #40 Servicing Watches: Direct-to-Brand vs. Independent


Listen Later

Mike doesn’t like his neighbors… so don’t ask him if you can borrow his toilet plunger. Also, do you like podcast interruptions? Barking dogs? Jangling little kitty cats? Yeah? Well, you’ll love this episode! Kaz also finds a new home in a pile of cardboard boxes.
The guys then derail the discussion a bit and talk about those weird Arnold Schwarzenegger watches that came out a few years back. Plus, we get a quick Rivkah Watches update, Mike has a new diver in for review, and the snobs finally announce the WINNER of the Seiko SKX007 giveaway!
Finally, Mike sends out a very special watch to get serviced and the guys talk about what goes into choosing your watch servicing center. Is it better to go through the brand directly? Do you prefer going with someone local and independent? Listen in and tell the snobs what you think!
