This week on the TBWS podcast, Mike and Kaz talk about what it's like to actually experience a watch or brand in person and how it can affect our perception of certain timepieces. The Orion Field Standard also makes an appearance (on a siiiiick Isofrane strap) and Kaz tells us about a pair of new Gavox chronographs he has in for review.

After having a blast focusing on the Vostok Amphibia, the guys tackle another iconic watch in the affordable spectrum, the Seiko SKX007. Before kicking things off though, Kaz and Mike look back at what it was like growing up in south Florida and getting excited about air shows. Thankfully, the Blue Angels allowed for a quiet recording session, even though they were performing all weekend close to downtown Seattle.

The story in a second: Contemporary design and classic size make this a winning combination. It’s no secret that the Defy is Zenith’s darling this year. Baselworld 2018 saw them release a swag of different versions, including the crazy Zero G, the impressive chronograph, and this watch, the comparatively simple Classic. And while it may … ContinuedThe post IN-DEPTH: Luxury sports done right – the Zenith Defy Classic Skeleton appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

In what is probably the hottest recording session this summer, Kaz and Mike sit down and talk about the insane world of high-end replica watches. Aside from that, Kaz has put together an excellent eBay listing guide for a handful of Soviet watches and Mike contemplates freezing himself artificially for a few hundred years with his Orient Mako.... all in a day's work, of course.

The Snobs are back to their regularly scheduled programming this week! Today, they take some time to speculate about the current "stainless steel crisis" some brands are experiencing while talking about second hand market support.

Hey, everyone! This week Mike and I thought we'd do something a bit different and special for all of you. This week's show is actually two shows in the form of our sister-show the TBWS Patreon Special. That's about 2 hours of podcast content on two very different topics.

This week the guys just talk about birds. That’s it - they’re the Two Broke Bird Snobs now. Mike is all alone and feral, eating beans straight out of the can and Kaz shares the saddest dog story you’ll ever hear.

Editor’s note: Speculation is, by definition, risky. But it’s also fun. And here at T+T we don’t speculate on shares or cryptocurrency - no, we make guesses on watch releases. So last year we made nine semi-educated guesses as to what watches we’d see this year … and we didn’t do so well. If you’re … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: Last year we predicted 9 vintage reissues to be released in 2018. So how did we do? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

There’s no point sugar-coating it. Gem-set watches aren’t for everyone. For one, all that ice racks up the price tag (so much so that all the watches below are POA), and for another, it takes a certain type of person to appreciate the - occasionally over-the-top - artistry it takes to make a watch shine … ContinuedThe post LIST: Somewhere over the rainbow – 8 of the year’s best gem-set watches appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Collinsville Watch Co. has been a friend of the Two Broke Watch Snobs podcast ever since the early days.

Join the guys for one of the most significant moments in TBWS history. Kaz finally bit the bullet and snagged a clean, crispy Slava medical! He gives us an account of what it was like purchasing the watch and how it feels now that the hunt is finally over. Meanwhile, Mike is still enjoying one of his quartz favorites and the snobs discuss one of the finer things in life... high-end sweatpants, of course.

But due diligence is always appropriate and I check out the brand's Instagram page to see what the watch looks like. After about 2 minutes of having my nose buried in my phone I slowly crane my head up towards Mike and say "Dude, we need to see this watch."

Earlier this week we showed you a behind-the-scenes peek at how Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Polaris is put together.

As far as boss complications go, the world timer is pretty up there.

Mike and Kaz talk about some of the cooler watches that slipped through the cracks during their usual Basel World 2018 press coverage. There are some cool finds under $1,000 and a few that might have the Snobs saving their pennies very soon. Guess they'll have to turn to writing cheap Amazon erotica to fund the watch budget.

Omega releasing a new Speedmaster model at Baselworld 2018 is hardly the biggest surprise ever, but still, the high contrast black and yellow colour scheme and novel dial design make the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8 an interesting, attention-seeking addition to the family.
