## Resource

This episode is one of those that's been a long time coming. Jacek Kozubek, perhaps better known for his watch dealership, Tropical Watch, is someone I've been getting to know more and more over the last several years since he moved here to San Diego from the Bay Area. Heavily serving the vintage Rolex market, Jacek also dabbles in some other areas of watches, most notably the precious stone variants it seems of late. More on that as well as his relentless pursuit of speed in cars that might just scare his passengers if he's not on a race track! This is a public episode.
