Erik & Max are back to the serious debates this week, this time the most beautiful lugs of all time. We ask how Instagram has influenced the watches being produced today. And, finally, we couldn’t stay away from discussing the various controversies surrounding a few lots at this year’s Monaco Legend auctions. This ep touches on the RRCC2, Ed White, 3800, and everything in between. Finally, an only wrist for a self-described budget Bill Gates.
