Episode 3: Pride! Nomos, Zenith, Tudor and Norqain - what does gender have to do with watches?
It’s Pride Month! Join the Wristies as they show off their NWAs, celebrate individuality and talk about the right to be seen exactly as they are. This episode dives into how themes of identity and gender expression show up in the watch community, and how well (or not) the industry reflects the diversity of the world around it. Plus, the Wristies have a little fun with some horological gender-bending before laying down justice with an inaugural round of Watch Crimes! Maybe the most fun recurring segment yet!Show Notes: Iman’s neo-vintage Breitling Colt Chris’ Omega CK859@old_country_timepieces - A Reputable pre-owned dealer that Chris bought his watch fromCockney Rhyming Slang - Now you can tell porky pies too!

Episode 2: When you know you know. Or do you? Plus - Budget Battle and recs for small wristies
Ever stuck dithering over a watch purchase? Here are some things we think about when we are deciding whether to buy a watch. Hear us discuss the Omega Speedmaster, a Piaget Polo, and a very angry lady - courtesy of Nomos! We also battle it out, in our very friendly wristy way, over the best pick for under $300 (aka 222 Great British Quid.) Which watch would you go for? And finally, we take our very first listener question and offer some watch recommendations to a small-wristed non-watch collector. **Correction and apologies from Chris: the Isotope Moonshot that Chris has house the ETA/Valjoux 7753 which is NOT a modular chronograph as Chris thought.
