A great vintage dealer is Bulang & Sons. I have made two purchase from them and their customer service is second to none. They have a limited selection, however, what they have is very nice.

I know he’s be mentioned here before, but I just had an amazing experience with Andrew Shear from Sheartime. Fantastic experience in every single regard. Highly recommend him!

Hi! Newbie here but found out about the forums from my brother who is a big Rolex guy. I just bought a vintage Rolex Oyster Perpetual from recaro18 (Ricky) and he was an absolute class act. Very communicative, sent me loads of pictures and information, and treated me as well as if I was buying a Daytona. Highly recommend!

Hi,

Very disappointing experience with Oliver and Clarke.
Watch delivered with a caseback not sealed properly, completely wrong spring bars (one that would not even hold to the watch), and dial/movement assembly not holding properly to the case (dial moving when manipulating the crown).
On top of that, a crack in the tritium of the hour hand, not verbally disclosed. Seller states it was visible on pictures which was not the case…
Would not recommend this dealer.

I love this thread. I am wanting to sell my vintage 1966 Rolex Oysterdate, so these references are perfect. Thank you!

I sent pics to 3 different vintage watch dealers that were posted, and then I listed it on Chrono24 (it's waiting to be approved). Anybody have any luck posting their vintage watch on Chrono24? First time I'm using this site.

Agreed! I have yet to purchase a piece from them but they have been extremely helpful in terms of responding to all my queries!

Wow, just wow. Sorry to hear about your experience!

Did they at least make things right?

If you're in Columbus Ohio I've already had several good experiences with both modern Rolex and vintage Rolex at the shop called Alexander's Jewelry on North high Street. The name is misleading because he has a pretty vast selection of pre-owned Rolex, as well as longines, omega,ball, Tissot to name a few others. I'm not rich or well to do but bought a Rolex submariner 16610 from him that was a pristine original. The watches ran well and no trouble for 6 years now but I only wear it on very special occasions. Past year I wanted an everyday will let you wear and bought a 1955 reference 6284 bubbleback perpetual oyster. It was absolutely pressing the dial was flawless with just a little patina color toning that was nice and even. On pre-inspection when he sold me to watch he spotted a little imbalance in the second hand which traced back to problem with the Canon pinion and included a full service before I took delivery just to make sure to watch was 100%. He's an honest guy and goes out of his way to make sure you are happy.

Any more color on this one? I've been eyeing a watch they have for a few weeks now and was considering reaching out for more info and to setup a meet (since I'm local in LA). What sort of piece was it? What kind of disclosure did they give / what questions did you ask?

Where do these dealers get their watches? It seems no one is buying watches right now. Do they only do business with trade ins? Just curious because I've been told by several dealers they are not buying.
