Purchasing a vintage rolex

Looking for suggestions on best place/website to buy a vintage rolex.

Also then how does one know if he is paying a fair price. Are there sites giving you price references.

Thanks

Before buying anything vintage I would read as much as you can. Identify the model you want and look for a good vintage seller/dealer

I think that outside TRF, the watchcommander.com and GrayandSons.com are the best options online. Good luck!

Agreed. Buying vintage entails research and an understanding of what is correct for when.
