This week we're talking all things high accuracy quartz - from our favorite models to the fact that, you know, most people can't actually define what a high accuracy quartz watch specifically is. If that's you, then you should absolutely tune into this week's show - you're going to learn something.

While it's sometimes painful to think about, this week Kaz & Mike talk about the idea of rebuying watches. Is it something you should avoid or is it a sign of growing as a watch enthusiast, while zeroing in on what you really like? Plus, you'll get to hear about watches that the guys have let go of as they weigh in on the possibility of finding them - and buying them again. Tune in and let us know about any watch rebuying experiences you might have! Oh, and if you're the person with Kaz's old Stevral Bronze Moray, you know what to do :)

This week we're catching up and discussing what blew us away from LVMH Watch Week! Ok - it's not really that big of an event and the releases are generally not that plentiful. However, that doesn't mean we can't have fun looking at watches. Be sure to let us know what your favorite releases from the event were in the comments below!

Kaz here! I'm recording Ep. 268 solo this week and I'm super pumped to be sharing my current watch collection with everyone! Plus, I'm testing out my new recording set up - so please share any thoughts, insights, or feedback you have about the video. Thank you!

Join Mike and Kaz this week as they play "horological fan fiction!" Ever wonder what it would be like to dream up the exact watch that you wanted from your favorite brand? That means you can play along too!

This week we're digging into a topic that's often pretty hard to discuss, but the context can be pretty fascinating. We're looking at watch designs and collections that don't have legacy roots in the "golden" age of watchmaking - really anywhere from 1960 and before. Specifically, we want to explore watch designs that became "classics" from our generation (mid 1980s to today).

While affordable vintage watches are central to the start of TBWS, Kaz and Mike sit down to ask if vintage watch collecting is even worth it in 2024. So much has changed within the market and the pitfalls are getting worse. We also have more modern vintage re-editions than ever before. Fakes, frankens, and mechanical problems. Is it all worth it when it comes to vintage watch collecting?

It's the end-of-year episode! Join Mike and Kaz for a sit-down where they cover some of their favorite watch releases of 2023. They talk about what stood out, while testing some new tech in the process. You'll have to tune in to find out. Plus, the guys dig into their plans for 2024 and what that'll look like for you—the audience. From TBWS to you, have a Happy New Year!
