40 and 20: the WatchClicker Podcast

Episode 88 - 3 Watches for $600, Part 4

In this 88th Episode, we reach in to the vault to look at building a beginner-watch-collection (or to expand your current lineup). 3 watches for $600 (Part 4!) In the past, we have set sensical but onerous rules for the selections, but this time around, we free'd ourselves up; expect to hear some affordable stalwarts thrown into the mix. Some website updates, a giveaway, and highlight some hard to pass on deals. We also talk about a once in a lifetime Rancourt shoe deal, and a life changing sleep mask. Enjoy!

40 and 20 Audio Review - New Seiko Five Sports (DressKX)

In this Audio Review, Will and Everett talk about their thoughts on the latest watch-forum/insta darling, the new Seiko Five Sports models, now with 100% less dive bezel (aka, "DressKX"). This watch is just starting to make the rounds, but has sold out at various retailers. At the time this is being published several models are available at Long Island Watch for $275 USD. The written review of this watch has performed extremely well on the website (link below), but we thought we might something special for you audio-only folks. Enjoy!

Episode 87 - Interview with Lorenzo and Lauren Ortega of Lorier Watches

In this 87th episode of 40 and 20, we spend some time with Lauren and Lorenzo Ortega, the owners of Lorier Watches. As the constant listener will know, Lorier has been featured on nearly every "list" 40 and 20 has ever recorded, so when they reached out to us a few weeks back, we were overjoyed. It has been a total treat to (finally) spend some time with Lorier's fine time-pieces, and it was even better to meet the souls behind the watches. Although I firmly believe each of Lorier's watches stand on their own, the motivations, direction, and philosophies of Lauren and Lorenzo add so much context to the watches, and have made us all the more excited about what they are doing.
