Best places to get a 1680 or 5513

Buying vintage is new to me so be patient. Looking for reputable sellers. What is good link(s) to learn about what to look for when buying?

Thank you,

On the top of this forum there is a sticky link of reputable dealers. The best advice I've seen on here is to buy the dealer as much if not more than the watch. Good luck.

But even if you deal with a reputable seller, you need to know what you are looking for and what you aren't looking for. Doing your homework is very important. There's a huge amount of material round. Start reading old threads, Googling, etc. You need to read more than just a few links to read up on the subject.

Good luck with the hunt!
