JP/John is always first class. I always enjoy our chats and every deal I've done with him. The latest 1675 he just sold me is no different, condition is even better than the pictures IMO. Thanks again JP for another smooth transaction!

Thanks again John. You've accumulated a nice collection of vintage Rolex.

3 years, 3 watches from John. Started with a 16750 Pepsi, then 1675 Root Beer. Today, John found me a 16760 Fat Lady to complete my GMT collection. Anyone is looking for a vintage GMT should look no further. John is passionate with GMT and is always willing to share his expertise.

Thank you John!

Always a great time with JP (whenever we chat dealing or not dealing). A true asset to the forum and is a sure fire bet to find correct vintage GMTs out in the minefield we live in today for Rolex vintage. Shockingly the latest from him isn't a GMT, but still quite a looker. Thanks JP!

Thanks John. Enjoy your Datejust - that was the nicest, black-dialed pie pan I have ever seen. Glad it made its way to a good home!

John (Springer) is one of the good ones

John helped me complete my quest for a new Jubilee 62510H bracelet with 502T endlinks to fit on my 16170 Pepsi. Can't wait to swap out the oyster with this classic option. John has real expertise in this area and is a pleasure to do business with - truly one of the good guys. Made the transaction F2F and had a great chat over lunch...being a car guy also - John even took me for a spin in his killer Shelby!

Thanks again JP

Just purchased another gorgeous GMT 16750 (I think it's going on 3 GMT 16750's). As always, jP was very gracious and responsive. It's always a pleasure, and an opportunity to learn about GMTs when dealing with him. Thanks again, jP!

I just had a great experience getting my first 16750 GMT from John. John is an amazing font of knowledge and an all around fantastic person! The watch is a truly fantastic example, everything John described and more. I hope I have the opportunity to deal with him again, really one of the best guys around.

Was looking for a Rolex Jubilee 62510H with 502T endlinks and my search led me to John.

He's just a cool, pleasant and knowledgeable guy to deal with. He also had the exact bracelet with him and sold it to me at a very fair price.

Thanks again, John. Really enjoyed the talks.

John is a class act! I recently bought a 16710 GMT from John and could not have been happier with the watch or the transaction. The GMT was better than described, and John shipped it overnight immediately after receiving my payment. Not to mention, John is a great guy, and it’s great to talk watches with him! I look forward to keeping in touch! Thanks again, John!

Thanks to forum members for recommending that I contact John with regards to purchasing a matte dial 16750. John is an awesome guy to talk to and fortunately had a fine example to sell at a reasonable price. Here’s a pic of my new watch, I’m absolutely thrilled with it! Thanks again, John.

16710 R Serial from GMT Land

I've always loved the 4 and 5 digit GMTs but have been too nervous to buy a watch on the second hand market. In 2017 I decided to buy a 116610 SubC from an authorized dealer to have peace-of-mind. Fast forward a year, when I put my Sub on today it simply does not feel like my watch.

A few days ago I gave John a call inquiring about his GMT II 16710, R serial, first year production, complete set. One of the best decisions I have ever made.

John is professional, a straight shooter and an absolute blast to talk watches with. He sent me detailed pictures and descriptions as well as a video of him pressure testing the timepiece. He walked me through the transaction process and fulfilled every promise he made. In fact, the day that my GMT arrived he called me to make sure everything was OK before I had the chance to reach out to him! A true professional.

To be diligent, I took the timepiece into my watch smith to give it a one-over look. He was very impressed with the quality of my purchase and clarified that everything John said about the watch was the truth. There is nothing like peace-of-mind knowing you are getting what you paid for! I stayed for nearly two hours showing him the complete set... I think he is a little jealous of my new GMT, haha!

Do yourself a favor and work with Springer for your next watch. The only thing better than the transaction process with him is the GMT that now sits on my wrist! A thing of beauty direct from GMT land!

Thanks so much, John!

- Jim
