Chris Wright of Gear Patrol quoted Eric Wind regarding the journey of watch collecting.

“It’s a complete wild west,” says Eric Wind, founder of Wind Vintage. Wind made his name as a vintage watch expert, sourcing watches for Christie’s watch auctions, where lots sometimes sell for millions of dollars. His work has made him wary. “Especially when you’re not an expert, the odds are very high you will buy something that’s fake or not correct,” he says. (He also notes that it’s far, far easier to tell a fake vintage watch from a fake new watch. Rolex fakers have gotten incredibly good at their craft, and they seem to have infiltrated the world of legit secondhand sellers.)
