• Episode 16: Summer of Gold 2025 | Watch Dealers Today

  Zachary, Brian, and Mi Nam explore whether Summer 2025 is the summer of GOLD. Since many in our circles seem to be eyeing solid gold pieces this season, we wondered if it's actually something that's hot right now or if it's one of those "if you want a red car, you see red cars everywhere" types of things. From sporty gold to dressy, we examine what gold might have to do with this season's "in" watches. We further explore some of the dealer and watch market nuances and focus on whether some of these individual dealers are actually worth contacting. Many don't always know the stock they sell through-and-through, and some don't know much about watches in general, so is this watch market saturated with people who are just trying to make a buck on watch sales? We take a look at that. Join us next time as we explore whether the OMEGA Aqua Terra is a baby Piaget Polo and we explore the usual wristwatch buying/auction sites. Should be a fun episode as well!Follow us: @horologyrepublic | @psywarwristcheck | @timetrades | @sketchyboyzwatchclub | @roofkoreanactual

• Episode 15: Bracelet Fatigue | Would You Rather

  In this episode, Zac and Brian take on bracelet fatigue—the seasonal shift from steel to straps—and ask some of the intriguing community-driven “Would You Rather?” questions we’ve seen in forums and groups lately. From choosing between a box-less grail and a flawless Tudor to deciding whether to beach your gold watch or baby it at home, we’re diving into the practical and the philosophical sides of watch enthusiasm. Join us as we explore a few fun topics and gear up for the summer plans and adventures we have in store for this warmer weather. We're also combining ideas for more guests, so if you have something to say, reach out and we'll see if we can get you on the schedule! 👥 Hosts: Zac & Brian 🎧 Listen on: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your watch fix.

• Episode 14: Sketchy Boyz Watch Club | Yandretti

  Zac and Larry sit down with special guests Yan from @yandretti and Mi Nam, co-founder and wrist enthusiast at large of the famed Sketchy Boyz Watch Club. Discussing pieces from Rado to Rolex, we talked with a fellow watch lovers about what makes a good collab. Is CW making pieces for everyone or is the Bel Canto a Magnum Opus? We took a look at what it meant to have pieces in the $1000 range on up. We also explored some of the non-hype brands and why it's worth checking out pieces that don't have household names on them, especially from more vintage eras. Editor's note here: Some of Yan's conversation seemed to be lost in the mix somewhere and unusable for this episode. While we're bummed that his contributions weren't ALL there in the final cut, we know he'll be back for more soon, so stay tuned! We also have to give a hearty shoutout to Mi Nam and his efforts in the Sketchy Boyz Watch Club. If you've spent any time around WoE (IYKYK), then you've heard about the the Sketch Connection with Breitling and other pieces. Mi Nam and his fellow founders have taken that in stride and created a group where fun stories are swapped, knowledge is dropped, and those who fancy a special timepiece gather around the proverbial campfire to discuss. Truly a fun space in the Facebook watch scene, we encourage everyone to at least try to get in and explore what they have to offer.

• Episode 13: Summer Watches

  Larry and Zac pick out their choices for what to wear during Summer 2025. From the easier-to-afford side of the market to things which might require a little more working capital and patience, we named our choices for summer watches. But what exactly is a summer watch? Well, we took a look at why we think these choices fit the bill and what about them lends to this decision. While any watch could be worn for summer, sometimes you want to make sure you have something appropriate for the venues we so often visit during the warmer months in the Northern hemisphere. Weddings, birthdays, class reunions, luncheons...you name it. Larry and Zac picked some thoughtful choices for everyone in this episode.We love hearing from you, the listeners, and a lot of what you say in comments, DMs, and texts to us help us answer questions and provide whatever guidance we can. A lot of our show has revolved around providing knowledge and direction to those who may not be seasoned collectors. While our choices may not always align with yours, we do strive to make sure that we are engaging with the listening public and providing any answers we can to questions, so make sure you reach out if you have a topic you'd like us to explore. We're all on this watch journey together.Follow us: @horologyrepublic | @psywarwristcheck | @timetrades | @reidingtimewatches | @watchesandwarfighters
