Glad to have stumbled onto this forum. I am searching for a special Rolex. I am finally able to afford one and am fulfilling a promise to myself that goes back over thirty years. I have been scouring Chrono and other sites for months. I was recently in Las Vegas at Bucherer. I did not see anything special in vintage, but many newer watches. I already understand that Rolex is warrantying and this adds to price. Does Bucherer have 25 yr old and older? Should my first vintage purchase be certified by Rolex? I do have a Tourneau close by and I have seen some nice ones there. General advice as a newbie to Vintage buying?
Thanks
Pete
