We also get into something every collector needs to hear: luxury watch thefts are on the rise, and we cover what's happening and how to protect yourself.

Roman Sharf and Adrian Taskin sit down to talk about Rolex raising prices (again). We break down what got hit and what it means for the market. Then, Audemars Piguet drops 6 new chronograph references and we give you the full rundown. Plus, a crypto scammer tried to steal two watches from us... and we have to tell you the whole story.

Plus: will Cartier discontinue the Pasha? Several models have quietly disappeared from Cartier's website and the watch community is wonder why. We share our take. And the Rolex secondary market keeps shifting, so we run through the models dropping below retail in May 2026, including the Yacht-Master, Sea-Dweller, and Datejust, and whether now is the time to buy.
