What if you were to start your watch collection all over again, and you only had $ 4,000/£3,000 to do it? Would you buy a collection? Or just one watch? We talk about what we would do if we had to do it all again. Plus, Wrist Candy! What watches do we have our sights set on now?

WRISTIES WATCH GLOSSARY & RECOMMENDATIONS

This is the first of two episodes on our everyday carry items. In this episode, we talk about clothes and the stress of dealing with body dysmorphia. We chat about staples in our own wardrobes and our "must-haves". If you believe you have undiagnosed Body Dysmorphic Disorder, please consult a mental health professional. We both believe in therapy as a helpful tool for anyone. But here are some helpful resources.

The Wristies get back to basics. No guests. No fluff. Just catching up on some of our favorite new watches, a couple of not-so-favorites, and some initial thoughts on the former AP CEO’s new brand.

***CORRECTION*** In this episode, we mention a collaboration between Venezianico and IFLW. We mistakenly attribute the work to the Dial Artist (Chris Alexander), and we have been informed that he has not worked with IFLW for quite some time. We apologize for the mix-up, but stand by the opinions on the watch itself. If you want to check out some of the great work the Dial Artist has been doing, check out the new Christopher Ward Twelve Xander HERE!***

Chris's brother, Frank, is the person responsible for getting Chris properly into watches. Although Frank has stayed outside the global and online watch community, preferring to enjoy the hobby on his own. Iman and Chris ask him the important questions! How has that impacted his hobby? What watches are appealing? And what's it like not to be bombarded with watch posts on Instagram?!

**DISCLAIMER** Frank and Chris sound almost exactly alike and can even control each other's phones with their voices... so prepare to be confused.
