Sorry to press this point but your comment just annoyed me I therefore checked the website and ref A1177 - which you clearly didn't perhaps other than the first few photos! The description of this GMT states there is a service guarantee dated 2011. If you then check the last photo there is a photo of the actual Rolex Service guarantee card dated 18 Feb 2011!!!! So guess who most probably replaced the hands - yes, good old Rolex as they will do with any of our vintage watches without clear and detailed instructions not to. So your comments about " not necessarily a fake" are way off the mark!

Also adding in a green (*) to indicate that atleast 2 forumers have purchased watches from a dealer here and are happy. So if you've purchased a vintage watch from any of the dealers above can you let it be known?
Thanks

Some really good suggestions on here as I look to purchase my first vintage. Does anyone know what is going on with Mulholland Time? The link looks to be dead.

Bob's Watches

Bob's Watches was referenced in today's Los Angeles Times.

http://www.bobswatches.com

Anybody have any experience with them? I am frequently in that area, but this is the first that I have heard of this retailer.

Thanks.

Great idea to list reputable vintage watch dealers

Although I look on websites to study vintages watches, I prefer upon purchase to go local. Is there any reputable dealers in the New York, New Jersey area u can recommend? From my experience there is plenty of Frankenstein/ fakes in area.
Please help
