This week it's Part 2 of our double episode, in which we're going through our hypothetical 39% Consolidation Homework challenge, looking at which of our watches we're keeping, and what can be consolidated. 

Today we're going through our Holds and our Sells, and talking about all the benefits of taking stock and understanding what's important and what's not. 

This week it's Part 1 of a double episode, in which Matt, Darren and I get to our homework assignment to look at our collections, and identify 39% of our watches that can be consolidated.

This week, Matt, Darren and G are discussing our last day out together with our pals @matt_taylor_vintage and @fathom_watches, in which Darren picks up a new Explorer, and we also set ourselves a challenge to research which watches in our collections we could sell off in a hypothetical reconsolidation.
