Yes, Loose Screws is back and so am I. It's been far too long but better late than never. First I'd like to apologize to my guest Audrey (@lady_dream_watches) as it took a very long time for me to edit this episode. Working from home, pandemic, family, etc just took a lot more of my time this 2021 than I expected. In this episode I'm joined by Scaramanga (@scaramanga__) as co-host and we had the privilege to chat with a true watch industry insider. Audrey's experience is unbelievable with stops at Christie's, Audemars Piguet, FP Journe, and Ferdinand Berthoud. She shares her thoughts about social media, attempt to talk about blockchain technology, and the women's movement in the watch world. We debated who has the best integrated bracelet and gave some other options. Scaramanga speaks his mind about Moser, I mean when doesn't he. Hope you enjoy the episode and cheers from Texas. - Bob Watches talked about in this episode: Minase and The Citizen Calibre 0200 Audrey's watch recommendations: Under $1,000 USD - West End Watch Co and Klokers From $5,000 - $10,000 USD - Panerai Luminor Due Over $10,000 USD - Do your homework. But if Audrey could get one it would be the FP Journe Only Watch.
