In this episode we discuss the lengths we can sometimes go to in our efforts to justify a watch purchase, Vu gives an update on his Zombie Apocalypse Watch plans, and we touch on a recent Rolex event we attended and whether our thoughts have changed on any of the new releases.

We decide to go on a two week vacation to Portugal with just one watch each, and talk through how we chose what we chose, why they were the right watches for this trip, and how that ended up working out. Also, we have two new watches to discuss! Vu decides that one watch might be fine, but asks Delugs to help out with additional straps so he can keep changing the look.

Although they share a design language, the No. 6 and No. 7.5 are very different watches. Vu explains what he loves about the design of the 7.5 which takes some inspiration from vintage cameras.
