    This week on Wrist Check Podcast, we're joined by Erica Ratini — aka Miss GMT — whose tagline, “Watches from a woman's perspective,” is more than a motto; it's a mission. Erica takes us inside her world of collecting highly complicated timepieces and uncovers the cultural influences — especially from Japan — that have shaped her unique taste, including her love for niche brands like Otsuka Lotec. We talk about what it means to be a woman navigating the often male-dominated watch space, how she challenges conventional expectations around what women should collect, and the moment she added her first Rolex to the collection. Insightful, personal, and inspiring — this is a conversation that redefines what it means to collect with purpose and personality.Powered by @getbezel Shop 20,000+ watches at getbezel.com, and Download the Bezel app at download.getbezel.com⁠⁠SUBSCRIBE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get the latest Wrist Check Pod content ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on instagram⁠⁠Chapters00:00 - Intro01:08 - Rashawn Wrist Check 03:06 - Perri Wrist Check 7:07 - Erica Wrist Check 14:04 - The name Miss GMT15:33 - Watch Influencer17:50 - Female perspective on watches21:42 - Discovering you like watches24:23 - Getting a Rolex Submariner29:50 - Getting an Otsuka Lotec38:53 - Importance of community41:18 - Areas of opportunity44:14 - Vintage Rolex48:36 - Total Collection49:29 - What's next in watches50:15 - What's next for Miss GMT50:41 - Questions for us53:46 - Outro
