Kaz and Mike discuss exactly what types of watches (a diver, a chrono, ect.) would be necessary in the most basic, but fulfilling quintessential collection. Also, what types of watch categories are stand alone categories? Should certain watches even be considered a type of category?
Plus, Kaz discusses the finer points of watch-to-testicle timepiece ownership - the only surefire way to properly claim ownership of a watch (for guys anyway).
The group closes the show on the idea of the "cash-in-your-chips" watch - the watch purchase you make at the end of your collection as the final expression of your horological passion. You've collected x and y watches for however many years, and now you buy one watch to punctuate that collection - think of it almost as a grand finale to your collecting.
