Vintage Rolex where's a good place to look?

[Obiwan]

I'm in the process of researching my next watch purchase. I'm wondering if anyone on B&B has had a good experience with an online vendor for vintage watches they'd like to share?

There are a few good places locally, but I want to keep my options open.

Thanks!

Thanks. As far as the specific watch that I'm interested in, I'm still in the process of narrowing that down.

It might be an idea to check out Time Zone's Vintage Rolex Forum. It is non-commercial (ie no buying and selling on the Forum and no discussion of pricing) but is probably the greatest information resource for Vintage Rolex models anywhere.
Tell James, Dave and Larry that I sent you!

You could try www.coolvintagewatches.com. Not sure it's the BEST place, but it's a place you could check out.

You could fly to London and spend some time in the Burlington Arcade just off Old Bond Street...

Or check out the BS Board on The Rolex Forum.. (http://67.43.1.1/).
There are many trusted sellers there.

Send me a PM.

Cheers

Just me, but there are stores that sell vintage Rolex watches. If I was to spend the money for a Rolex I would want to actually hold it in my hands before purchase.

Threads like these always make me think how cool it would be to get a De Lorean with a flux capacitor and go back to the earlier part of the 20th century and load up on Pateks, Rollies, etc.

I would watch eBay as there are a TON of fakes out there. Try the site below. Great guy and nice prices. He has vintage up to new!
