Latest Review
In this episode of The worn&wound Podcast, we kick things off by talking to worn&wound contributor, Hung Doan. Hung’s an old-school collector (though he believes “accumulator” is a more appropriate word) who has been buying and selling watches for the past 25 years. He’s seen the highs and lows of collecting, the growth of the watch community, and the changing tides of the vintage market. He shares his thoughts and offers advice to collectors not looking to drop a lot of coin.
In the second half of the episode, Blake and Ilya talk about their recent pickups: Blake’s Stowa Flieger chronograph and Ilya’s vintage King Seiko 4402-8000.
