    208: Selling all but a 5 watch collection... what to keep?

    In this episode we go through our choices for the five watches we would each keep from our existing collections if we had to just own 5, and couldn't buy any more, EVER. Essentially building our forever collections. This was inspired by the #fivewatchcollection Instagram community hashtag started by Nacho and Morgan.
