Two Broke Watch Snobs

This week the guys are revisiting the talk on Women's watches and how things have changed (or not changed) since the last episode. We talk Tudor ads, microbrands, and the general overall state of how (and why) certain watches are marketed to women. Plus, the guys share which overtly marketed "Women's watches" they'd totally rock on wrist. Show Notes Gaga Tudor Ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U...
