I really wonder what's going on in the vintage market. Seems like a lof of vintage watches are being touched up the past few years to get that extra grand or few grands (or even more) out of the watch.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure a lot has been going on for decades now but the past few years it's more noticeable? Re-cutting cases, polishing (and overpolishing of new watches as well), re-luming, .... but all at a high(er) level. People have become really skilled at this so if you are able to pull it off and you want to walk that line, you could get away with it. Same with tropical dials and people altering it. That's how you get rich.
