We're back! After a short hiatus, David and Brett return with the 32nd episode of Strap and Link. We cover a wide range of topics including how we decide what watches to travel with, and how a watch gets chosen above the rest. We discussed a new Breitling SuperOcean that we've obtained too!

We also covered celebrity watch collectors and discussed who we believe has the classiest and most influential collections. We touch on Tom Brady's one-of-one Audemars Piquet, comedians Kevin Hart and Aziz Ansari's taste, and other collectors such as Mark Wahlberg, Kevin O'Leary, and John Mayer.
