Best prices on vintage Rolex's?

[balmain2323]

I find myself constantly checking the same dealer websites daily - anyone have any thoughts on which has the best prices? It is sometimes really hard to make sense of pricing on vintage watches.

What does "best price" mean? Are you bargain hunting looking for that proverbial deal or just an honest watch? As far as pricing goes, it does seem that pricing is all over the place, but prices are based on originality/case condition, quality, correctness of parts and so on. You will also find watches that are way over-priced based on their condition.

How does one determine if a watch is way over-priced, or correct, or appropriately priced based on its condition? It comes with years of experience and/or time spent researching the specific model of your interest.
