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 whether there are any big "no-nos" when it comes to watch restoration that we just won't touch.
