Best thing is watch from 83' year I graduated HS...Most want birth year watch but for me this marked the beginning of a great road traveled!

Just completed my second transaction with John in about a month. Don't know how it could be any smoother. I think that a very important element in dealing with him is that you can have complete confidence in what he is telling you. This is one reason he has so many satisfied clients who would be happy to do business with him again. I know I'm already looking forward to the next watch!!

Third time's the charm! Just completed another purchase with John. This time is was a beautiful Red Sub. As previously, he made it easy and enjoyable. All the information you need to make an informed decision is provided in a most congenial manner. John is indeed a valuable asset to this forum.

I just recently completed my second transaction with John, this time as the buyer. Both transactions were flawless. I absolutely love my vintage GMT Master ref. 1675. John is considered THE GMT guy and I can see why... His customer service is also outstanding. He replies to messages quickly and his shipping is lightning fast.

Thank you, John!

Justin, I'm glad we finally met and got to do a couple deals. Thanks again, enjoy your GMT as I am enjoying the Wakmann.

I just purchased and received my watch from John today. The watch is truly special and rare in the most amazing condition. John sent me many images and went over every part of the watch starting with the dial, hands, case, bracelet and bezel. We had many conversations and he even pointed out the ding on the case, which I love since the watch is all original and unpolished. I couldn't have asked for a better watch and John made the whole experience special. Not once did I have any doubt from start to finish, because I new he's honorable and a trusted seller. This was not a small transaction by any means and I can honestly say that I can't wait to buy from John again. A big thanks to you Springer!

Leon, I truly appreciate the comments here and your confidence in me to deliver that gorgeous 1961 Submariner 5512 in the condition described. Enjoy your watch for many years to come! Thanks again!

What can I say that hasn't been said? As usual John is a pleasure to deal with and consistently brings incredible watches to market. I'm always appreciative of his no nonsense approach and friendship.

I love my new GMT

Icon14 This thread is a...

testament to JP's (aka Springer) good name in this market.

I was about to post a new thread for JP (aka Springer) on a purchase recently when I chanced upon this thread which was started nearly 8 years ago! And man was I blown away by the number of posts testifying to him !

JP is the person to go to for your Rolex's needs as he has a very well rounded knowledge on Rolex vintage pieces, especially Rolex vintage GMTs. He never fails to answer the most technical questions and is always willing to help answer my queries even though it might not relate to his items.

Great communications which are fast and prompt and he shows a deep understanding of the stuffs he sells. Rolex Fans, buy with absolute confidence from this gentleman ! I am sure I will be dealing with him again

The pictures below speaks for itself, need I say more?

First off, thanks for the comments Sam!!!

Additionally, I can't believe how wonderful that dial looks installed!!!! I never had it installed in a watch and your photos are the first for me. The dial is absolutely gorgeous and definitely one-of-a-kind.

Thanks again and enjoy your GMT 16753.

Another a beautiful 1675 from Springerjfp, John. This is my 4th watch from him, and as always he comes thru with another beauty. He's become a wonderful friend and a great resource as I'm learning my vintage Rolexes. I highly recommend John and will not hesitate (and look forward to) buying from him again. Thanks, jP!

I purchased my first vintage watch from Springer (John) this week. It’s clear that John is the man when it comes to GMTs for good reason. We spent a lot of time reviewing different options and in the end I purchased the 16750 of my dreams. As previously noted by others, communication with John was excellent and he responded to emails/call lightning quick. Our transaction was flawless and he shipped the watch immediately. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. I will certainly be dealing with John again in the future.

Just completed my fourth purchase with Springer - I've become a regular!

The reason for these multiple transactions is easy. As I've said before, John provides all the information needed to make an informed decision. His enviable expertise equates to info upon which you can rely. That in itself is so crucial in the vintage world, where those of us that are relatively new can find it very difficult to grasp all the variations - correct and otherwise. I've also observed that John's offerings are usually beautiful examples of the reference he is selling.
Can't recommend John highly enough. Thanks for helping me add four awesome watches to my collection!

(Another) fantastic transaction with John (JP/Springer)! This time for a 1970 1675 (root beer) with TT oval-link bracelet. I think I'm one of the many, many buyers here who've come to rely on his honorable business practices and his knowledge, which as even the most casual reader of this forum can attest to, is amazing. A real asset to our community and this forum! Thanks again for the GMT! I couldn't be happier.
