I can vouch for Jerome Fellous from Paris, friendly person, correct and sincere. Bought a 16610 from him recently

Negative. You might want to Google the name. He's no longer with us.

anyone have any experience with this dealer on eBay?

Eric Wind is a first rate vintage dealer and Hodinkee contributor.
He co-authored the Hodinkee Submariner : Reference Points.
A very respected vintage Rolex authority and trustworthy.
I have an early 5512 gilt dialed PCG Submariner from Eric. He is out of West Palm Beach, FL.
One of the best in the U.S.

I have seen my grandfather with the cinataage rolex and I always wonder why my grand father is so attached with the vinatage rolex and now that he is not with me . It alwsaysd reminds me how he used to trst his vintage rolex like that was his other son.

I bought my vintage 1984 Rolex GMT-Master Pepsi Reference 16750 with Matte Dial from European Watch Company in Boston. I highly recommend them. They have been in business for over 30+ years and have thousands of 5 star reviews.

Great list thank you

[cruvon]

Great to see this thread I created many years ago to assist fellow collectors still being used. Note that the list has not been updated for quite a few years so some sellers may or may not still be around and some may be struck off. And there have been some attempts by members here to update it.
While this thread may be a good starting point to get deep insight into sourcing your first vintage, please compulsorily seek additional references on the forum and other sources and do your due diligence before any vintage purchases, enjoy the collecting!

Has anyone here had experience with Bulang & Sons. I am looking forward to purchase a 5513 pre comex from them. Their customer service is pretty outstanding and knowledgeable,

Erik Szper at Radcliffe jewelers is top notch, and truly the best of the best. He is based out of the Radcliffe location in Pikesville MD, which is in Baltimore county.

I am not a fan. Purchased a watch from them years ago and did not notice a drag mark until a year later. It turned out to be in the original photos so I just missed it and I take responsibility but you can forget about "full disclosure" from them. They are just watch flippers and do the bare minimum when it comes to any type of service also. Buy with care I would say.

Also at Radcliffe Jewelers in Pikesville, Mark Nuth and Jessica Robinson are excellent.

[4rnold]

It is known that Henrik from SubGmt (Netherlands) is no longer in business?

[Block506]

Are the sites at the beginning of the thread still good?

[Cantab]

Here's a new one who has had some very interesting vintage watches for sale, a long history in Boston (now in New Hampshire), and seems to fly under the radar.
Paul Duggan Fine Watches pduggan.com
And, lots of feedback from happy customers which is the source of my post content.

Some are - be sure to note the ones who have been removed in post 1 for good reason.

Are we sure their reputation is as pristine as we declare here? Thanks for help.

i had a look -- too expensive, and mostlty modern Rolexes,
I am only after 60/70s watches.

[Montenegrin1919]

Any in Singapore?

[abacona]

Anyone have recommendations for NYC? Visiting soon and want to purchase some pieces
