About this episode

Today we answer a few questions from our listeners, one of them being about the first watch that got us interested in watches. And for Vu that was an Oakley watch. And for some reason during recording Vu promised to post a photo of himself wearing it, back in 2004. (it's posted on thiswatchlife.com) Please keep in mind this was 20 years ago!

Watches discussed in this episode:

  • Rolex GMT Master II BLRO (Pepsi)
  • Oakley Crush
  • Rolex Explorer II (Polar)
  • Cartier Tank
  • Rolex DateJust 36mm
