Clemens,
If you do not mind a bit of a drive, there's an amazing place up the 400 in Barrie, Ontario (about 1 hour north via car from downtown Toronto). It's called "Le Boeuf Jewellers" and they often have vintage Rolexes and Tudors on-site. As well as some other amazing vintage timepieces. If you want any more info, let me know. James

Vernon,
Not sure if you've been there / heard of the store, but it is a great place to drop by and see. Bill has an amazing collection of used and vintage watches. And he's even willing to sell some of them He's also reasonable in terms of prices. James

Actually his first name is Adam; I think that Bill was his father.
He does have some great vintage pieces. He can also get new. Fish |

When we say "vintage", how old are we discussing?

Chris,
All vintages. There's one that I'm tempted by from the 60s. James

Thanks for the clarification. I have his card somewhere but wasn't sure if it was Bill or Adam. I dealt with Adam and he was amazing - super-knowledgeable and friendly. James
