The Deep Track, Ep. 25 - Eric Wind

Blake Buettner
About this episode

Support The Deep Track

This week I'm happy to welcome Eric Wind to the podcast. Eric is a vintage (and modern) watch expert who you may recognize from Wind Vintage, or any of his contributions to Hodinkee's Reference Points articles. In this discussion, we talk about some current events around Rolex and Patek Philippe, as well as explore the auction world and how it's changed in recent years.

I apologize for the less than ideal audio track present here - this is an issue that I'm working to resolve for upcoming episodes.
