2023-04-11 22:29:14 +0000 UTCGood show, I always look forward to the Kwok updates. I’m a little surprised as a lawyer Andrew wasn’t aware of more expensive watches. I always think of lawyers as something of the target market for the $100,000+ watch tomfoolery. Not saying that’s Andrew, just I’d have expected him to have seen a few crazy watches. I can’t imagine spending even $1,000 on a watch, seems like a giant waste of money, but I know the market exists.
