We?ve talked about it on a podcast, and we?ve written about some high profile releases, but now the time has come for the Worn & Wound team to pick their favorites from this year?s Only Watch. We?ve had a few weeks to digest over 60 piece uniques, and, collectively, we?re ready to name the ones we?d gladly bid on, if only we ran hedge funds or happened to come into vast sums of heretofore unknown generational wealth in the next few months.
