Episode description

This week is all about specifics of rare vintage watches; Erik & Max cover off some lots from the upcoming spring auctions and use them as muse to talk about some things we don’t see often. Stops at Watches & Wonders, Desert Eagle and Alpine Research Daytonas, special order Cartier bracelets, and 2438 Perpetual Calendars. Plus, what watch should you wear while hunting war criminals in Eastern Europe?
