Ep. #167 COVID-19 and the Watch Industry

Things aren’t looking good in Mike’s neck of the woods this week, and the guys sit down to distract themselves with some casual watch talk. Luckily, we’re seeing some cool new releases from Timex and Bulova. Seriously, you gotta see these things. Finally, we see a continuation of the TBWS COVID-19 discussion as Kaz and Mike chat through what watch collectors might expect in 2020 as the situation continues to evolve. Sit back, pull yourself away from the news, and enjoy some wristwatch bar talk.
