Twobrokewatchsnobs

This week Mike is joined by his wife as they discuss watch obsession from the perspective of a very patient and supportive partner. She opens up and shares what she likes about watches, what they mean to her, and what it's like living with an absolute watch lunatic. Kaz joins us in spirit and it's a seriously fun episode that tackles topics we've never addressed on TBWS before. Be sure to listen in with that special someone!

Kaz and Mike share their dirty fantasies in this latest installment of Guilty Pleasure Watches. Things get filthy and the guys also share some new stuff coming out on the site. Keep an eye out!

Mike and Kaz share another round of affordable vintage watches. This time, they break down some of their favorite choices for collectors interested in adding precious metal pieces to their collections. These are fun, easy on the wallet, and a great way to add diversity during your watch collecting journey.

Mike and Kaz are finally adjusted after their travels, but there's still so much to talk about after their recent trip to Hong Kong. One of the most fascinating topics involves duty-free shops and the major role they play in watch purchases while traveling. Kaz is also still pretty salty about his bee sting (that shit was uncalled for) and Mike whips out an old dive watch that he should definitely wear more often. Oh, and the 6,000 IG follower giveaway has been chosen. Stay tuned, the snobs are reaching 7,000 pretty soon.

Kaz and Mike are back from Hong Kong and ready to share their adventures. The guys give up some of the final details about their most recent giveaway and, sadly, Kaz gets stung by a bee. Plus, a special Hong Kong watch buying experience is shared as the guys try to slowly recover from some serious jet lag. Finally, Kaz and Mike talk about their experiences at the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair and how the show changed their outlook on "micro-brand" watches.

The time has come! The guys are pretty much all packed and ready to go and by the time you hear this, they'll be on their way to the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair. Kaz has a cool new Maurice Lacroix in for review and unsurprisingly, it has sparked quite a bit of debate. Be sure to listen in for his initial impressions and keep an eye out for the full review. Plus, the TBWS 6,000 Instagram follower giveaway is live! If you haven't checked it out already, be sure to swing by the @twobrokewatchsnobs Instagram page to find out how you can enter to win a killer dive watch.

Join TBWS as they gear up for their upcoming trip to Hong Kong! This week the guys discuss some of the highs and lows of vintage watch collecting, what it involves, and aspects collectors should consider before diving head first into the vintage game.

Kaz gets attacked by bees on air and Mike's dog can't help herself from interrupting the show with her poor dinner habits. This is perhaps one of the most casual TBWS episodes ever, but the guys have a blast discussing a very specific sub-genre of watches. So what's the deal with brightly colored dive watches and the design manufacturers pursue for the sake of legibility under water? Are these models more desirable or functional than others? Why are some brightly colored Seikos so difficult to find? Also, stay tuned for a quick tease of the latest TBWS giveaway. Oh, and Movado bought MVMT? WTF...

Join Mike and Kaz as they discuss the importance of experiencing watches in person and how their opinions changed after witnessing certain pieces "in the metal." The Snobs are getting closer and closer to their 6,000 follower giveaway, Mike has discovered the beauty behind authentic Isofrane straps, and Kaz has some seriously cool Gavox chronographs in for review. So tune in and let the TBWS fam know about your own unique "in-person" watch experiences.

Join Mike and Kaz as they talk about one of the coolest watches available to value-focused collectors. This is a packed episode filled with air show talk, middle school G-Shocks, and some of the coolest Seiko dive watches ever.

This week, Kaz and Mike brave the heat again and humbly take on one of their most ambitious segments - watch brands they know nothing about. It's also episode 90! Getting closer to the big 100, and the guys would really love to treat the #watchfam for that momentous occasion. Then, the guys give us an update on some cool new write-ups on the site, one of which focuses on a totally new live of Glycine Airman No. 1 reissues. Finally, they take a deep dive into the history of Citizen watches, the range of companies the brand has taken ownership of, proprietary technology, and Citizen models that are currently tempting the snobs.

This week Kaz and Mike melt their nuts off recording in the summer heat. It starts out as a happy discussion, but things quickly spiral out of control. The discussion focuses focuses on overtly fake watches, the communities that support them, and what you can do to stay away from this very dark end of watch collecting.
