I haven’t bought anything from him but he is well known. Many you tube videos - search Ivansir vintage. He is called Ivan sir because he holds vintage rolex classes for a fee.

Totally different. PnF Times in Mong Kok used to be partnered with Vintage Concept but Ivan has always been his own.

Agree about PnF and Vintage Concept. Ivan, however, was for many years with London Watch (no UK affiliation btw) in HK. Ivan only opened his own shop in Central district in 2019 if I recall. All 4 are well known in HK with good reputation.

Yes you’re right - I forgot he was with London Watch. He’s at 66 Wellington Street on the 6th Floor. There’s another vintage specialist that’s recently set up in the Mong Kok Yan On building - Vintage HK.

I find his pricing is on the high side, rich premium.

What do you think of the quality of his inventory and his reputation?

I had never purchased anything from Ivan and so would not be able to comment much. I do believe he does enjoy a good standing within the vintage community in HK.
