A week later, and we’re still not over the Toronto Timepiece Show.

This week we’re playing a dangerous game: Buy It, Consider It, Kill It. Rolex, Omega or Tudor? Breitling, TAG Heuer or Zenith? G-Shock, Timex or Swatch?

Some watches are getting bought, some are getting considered…and some are disappearing forever. We also get into Jordan selling another...
