Two Broke Watch Snobs

Ep. #55 Affordable Vintage Watches Part 4


Listen Later

Everybody has to deal with puking pets, right? After a bit of a detour, the guys start talking watches… we promise. Mike finds an old friend in a drawer and Kaz says goodbye to a very special watch. It’s a bittersweet wrist check but new things are coming!
The snobs then talk about some of the previous week’s most notable watch news, including a $200 hand-cranked Timex Marlin reissue that’s cool as hell.
Finally, Kaz and Mike each select three of their own top choices for an affordable vintage dress watch. They go head to head, offer some buying tips, and find a striking and very cool similarity between each of their final choices.
