Purchase Advice for Wanna Buy A Watch?
Hi There,
I am in the market for a vintage rolex and these guys came up. Has anyone purchased from them? The watch I am interested in has no box or papers. |

I bought a DRSD from them about 12 years ago when I was a newbie. They're still on my list of vintage dealers.

Maybe you should say which watch you are looking at. I don't think we can look at every watch on their website.

Purchase Advice for Wanna Buy A Watch?
They’ve been around for a while. Their watchmaker, is my watchmaker, who was a former Rolex technician. Never purchased anything from them, but I can speak of high regard for their watchmaker with a Rolex parts account and his commitment to making sure the watches are the way Rolex would want them to be at (ie. correct parts, oils, testing machines)

Very reputable vintage dealer with an awesome selection of all brands. Prices tend to reflect high rent district they reside in in Beverly Hills.

Ken and the rest are tops. Be sure you know what you are buying first to ask the right questions.

Very reputable (WBAW). Paul (owner) is a great gentleman and my experience with him and his staff was fantastic. Celebrities have purchased from him as well (Aziz Ansari mentions them in his Talking Watches episode on Hodinkee).
