Written by:
This week we're joined by Alex's step father-in-law, Joe, for a deep dive into the world of vintage watches, watch repair, collecting, and the thrill of the hunt.
Joe has been buying, selling, collecting, and repairing watches for years. What started as frustration with a repair experience eventually turned into a passion for learning how watches work from the inside out. Today he spends countless hours restoring vintage pieces, sourcing parts, chasing rare movements, and hunting down hidden gems on eBay.
In this episode we discuss:
⌚ How Joe got started in watch repair
⌚ Vintage Rolex Bubblebacks and Omega movements
⌚ Why vintage watches still matter
⌚ Buying and selling watches on eBay
⌚ The challenge of sourcing parts and restoring old watches
⌚ Chronographs, hairsprings, and movement repair
⌚ The watches currently on Joe's workbench
⌚ Why the hunt is often as rewarding as the watch itself
Whether you're into modern watches, vintage pieces, or simply love hearing passionate collectors share their stories, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
