Interested in Rolex buckley dial datejust

Like the blurry one attached! But no idea where to start in the vintage world, don't know how to avoid getting ripped off with replacement parts etc.

Any ideas where to start??

They do appear here in 'for sale' occasionally, just keep looking. It took me about 6 months to find a good example here in UK, eventually one from a excellent well established dealer cropped up in May this year and we struck a deal. I am so happy with this watch, I rarely take it off. Good luck with the hunt, keep looking, it's all part of the fun.

Why don’t you just email Mr Buckley himself. As good as any in terms of a place to start looking !

They do come up, so just make sure you have your alerts on.

Just turn yourself over to a top seller, you'll get what you want with no problems.

These dials come in both the 4 and 5 digit series, here's a 1984 16030.
