Episode 6: Manufactured 2024 (On Black Alligator)

Erik and Max attempt to give some genuine advice for once on how to avoid heartbreak in watch buying, excluding condition for this discussion. Broader philosophy, blind purchases, auction houses, straps, and birth year watches all make an appearance here. Then, with no attempt at a cohesive segue whatsoever, a discussion aimed to broaden horizons for everyone covering 10-ish inexpensive watches that hit like heavyweights (inspired by Target’s retail strategy, no less). Finally, an Only Wrist for a fit German dad, which is a sentence I never thought I’d write.

(Slight correction, 16550 is the more transitional reference here. Erik incorrectly heard Max say 16750, not 16570 which he actually said, and so was thinking about GMTs)
