DTS - Omega or Rolex, What Did Jesus Wear?
This week on the Defining Time Show, Anthony (@defining_time) and Alex (@thewatchregulator) team up again like the good old days pre-covid to spend some time with the newest lady watch lover on Instagram, Britt who is the funny character behind the profile @watch.gringa. Britt is a fire cracker and has jumped into the watch IG scene with a bang! We talk about a "shared" watch collection with husband @watch__papi and he chimes in for some of the conversation as well. Have you ever wondered what watch Jesus would wear? Well we cover that too as well as justifying your collection while being a person of faith. I don't want to give too much away as it is a very fun and enjoyable chat. Sit back, relax, grab a drink and enjoy the show.
