In the crowded and competitive vintage watch dealing scene Eric Wind stands out. Not only is he as erudite as he is polite, but the watches he collects and trades run the gamut from exceptional to exceptionally interesting. We chat to Eric about his start in the world of watches, his business, Wind Vintage and get some tips on navigating the minefield that is buying watches online.
We hear tales from the dealer's side of the table and why Eric thinks it's so important to build a relationship with one dealer. We also dig into the pros and cons of case versus dial, the value to be had in 90s Rolex, and why insisting on a full set is a rookie move. We also chat about that one time he helped get an actual Paul Newman Daytona on the big screen in Crazy Rich Asians.
