In this episode we discuss Lydia's family cruise and the watches she chose to bring on it, and why. The cruise has very specific and diverse needs, because of the variety of activities you partake in, all packed into a singe experience.

So what did she bring?

Today we answer a question from @watchrolling about whether or not Rolex watches are necessary for watch enthusiasts, from @watch_girl_life and @nomoschino about our best/favorite watch purchases of the year, and a question from @jordonia about what we wish we knew when we got started in this wild hobby of watch collecting and enthusiasm.

NOTE: Delugs has provided us with watch straps for free but have not paid us and have no input into what we do with or say about the products they have given us.
