Time for an update!

Welcome Nick Gogas aka Greekbum to the Green Star staus sellers list.

Thanks Frogman4me, 77T,Jason71,watchcrank,motoikkyu for your references, you have been added to the Purchase Reference list for your refered seller/s. Have also added Bobswatches (www.bobswatches.com/vintage-rolex-1.html) to the sellers awaiting recommendations list.

I have also split the sellers awaiting recommendations into two categories(below the green star staus sellers) so as to differentiate between those awaiting one recommendation for Green star status and those yet to be tried and tested.

Enjoy friends!

Vintage purchase experience Feedback List
************************************************** ************************************************** ********************************************

Note: A member (member should not be a commercial seller or dealer here or elsewhere) making a recommendation will require to have atleast 50 posts in the "Vintage Section" before recommending a seller they've made a vintage Rolex watch purchase from. This is to avoid fly by members making recommendations here. Offcourse a more accurate way to cross check fly by recommendations is by also cross checking who the members making recommendations are in the the "Purchase Reference List" to ensure that recommendations are from regular forumers/genuine buyers. Lastly, a reminder that while this list is an attempt to assist newbies entering the vintage Rolex world, it can never be 100% and should not be used as a shortcut for doing your own research for the best outcome with your purchases. Nevertheless, it's the best shot we have at putting a genuine list together with some checks and balances in place, enjoy!



Green Star status sellers:


Sellers awaiting one recommendation:


Sellers awaiting recommendations: [Sellers in this list below are Speculative with no prior proven forum member purchase history here, but just good references by hearsay and are yet to be tried and tested by forum regulars]





A green (*) against a dealers name indicates that atleast 2 forumers have purchased vintage watches from a dealer here, have received them and are happy. So if atleast 2 of you have purchased a vintage watch from any of the dealers in the list, have received it and are happy with the purchase please say so here so can update the dealers name with a green (*).Also note that a single forumer purchasing 2 or more watches from a seller will be considered as one reference and not two.



Purchase Reference list: Besides the green star rating, for added green star rating accuracy, refer to this "Purchase Reference list" to get a feel of the quality of watches forumers here have purchased from their respective sellers. Forumers have kindly made recommendations here for sellers so that it helps newcomers here, thanks guys for that! Also this list can help confirm are genuine known forumers/buyers making buyer recommendations and you can do that by having a look at their historic posts here, feel free to use the search function to look up their historic threads for posted watch pictures. Though not 100%, the purpose of this purchase reference list is also to hopefully discourage proxy buyers who make fake recommendations on a dealers behalf so that they think twice before making a recommendation here since to prospective buyers, their thread history is only a simple thread search away. Finally, do make inquiries on the forum.

4) Most importantly, look up historic threads on this vintage forum, a wealth of knowledge there.


NB: While this list serves to collate all vintage watch dealers forumers have possibly dealt with (from fellow forumers comments above) in one place, it in no way is a measure of the quality/originality of the watches that are on sale with them. Please conduct your own due diligence before you make any purchases by asking questions on the forum, posting pictures, getting references, etc. Also please notify us of any concerns and if the forumers agree I can take them off this list.




VERY IMPORTANT: As always refer to the footnotes and do your due diligence when buying any vintage watch, even from sellers listed as having a green star, since past recommendations are not necessarily a ticket for positive experiences in the future. So ask questions and verify watches through the forum "before" you buy any vintage watch. This is a forumer purchase experience list aimed at helping newbies find a vintage from known sources and is not an official recommendation list or a substitute for doing proper research on watches and sellers before you buy.

Reference for Tempus Fugit in NYC

I just purchased a Rolex Bombay, circa 1953, from George of Tempus Fugit on Friday. I researched him within my group of NYC vintage Rolex owners/collectors and was not disappointed. Went in looking for a vintage Air-King for a milestone birthday within the family and when we found the Bombay.
George is obviously knowledgable, has a number of excellent vintage Rolexes (and other brands) on hand and is a collector himself.
I recommend him without reservation

Thanks for the recommendation and nice to know, please increase your post contribution to the Vintage Rolex section of this forum to 50 and will add it in.

I'm a bit confused. I'm a forum regular and I've purchased from Zaf Basha and would recommend him highly.

Thanks for the referrals Mark. Just reconfirming if you bought a vintage Rolex from Kirill?
I think Andrews official website (http://www.sheartime.com) is where the recommendations are for the best pieces he has, so wouldn't want to recommend Ebay names in here unless that's the only point of sale for a seller.

Yes I did: a 1971 Rolex 1601.

Understand the point of the website but I pointed this out because I was confused myself regarding the ebay name :-)

And I see that Mike Wood is awaiting a recommendation: I bought a very nice dial from Mike in a flawless transaction.

Thanks Mark, will count that in. Also, sorry, can't count vintage Rolex parts as a referral but good to know.

Cheers,

Not a problem, didn't see those dealers on here in the first few pages so I figured I would share them.

San,

Steve Mulholland has been banned from selling on a couple sites now and according to many posts from buyers, he has refused to deliver the goods or return messages. I would not recommend him, nor consider him a trusted seller.

San,

Steve Mulholland has been banned from selling on a couple sites now and according to many posts from buyers, he has refused to deliver the goods or return messages. I would not recommend him, nor consider him a trusted seller.
Hi John, thanks. He's been taken off the list a long time before that incident with his recent troubles, when there was an issue with a member here. You will find a reference to that a few pages before this one. Note that the latest updates to the list are the current ones, can't edit older posts.


Edit: Hi John, here's the post, was on 12th June 2012

I don't want to open a can of worms BUT

I had a bad experience with 2 of the Green * sellers. I don't want to create problems or give bad reputations so just letting others know not to just take others' words for their integrity. Know what you're buying and do your own research carefully so you don't become a sucker!

Another epic, smooth as silk, transaction with Andrew Shear, truly a gentleman, and trusted seller. Actually received the Fed Ex tracking prior to my wire hitting his account. A truly "TRUSTED SELLER"

As have mentioned repeatedly in the list, I do fully agree with you that this list is just a starting point and everyone does need to do additional research on both the buyer and a particular watch they are interested in buying. Offcourse we would love to know who the sellers you mentioned are so if you do change your mind and want to share, please do start a thread in the vintage section detailing the issues and we can take it from there. Thanks.
