This episode is all about the three Cs of watches: Condition, condition, condition! We draw on our friendly neighborhood vintage expert, Eric Wind, to talk about what he looks at when evaluating a watch's condition. We also talk about how to value condition vs. provenance, our views on watch restoration, and why “condition is the new rarity.” We get all kinds of tips for evaluating the condition of a watch: From Patek Philippe dials to Rolex cases, learn what you need to look at when evaluating a watch.
