Icon20 New to Forum - advice/list of Trusted Sellers

Hi All -

I am relatively new to TRF - I recently bought a new 2015 Sub 116610LN, my first Rolex after collecting some Omegas and Tags - but I certainly caught the Rolex bug! A month later I purchased a 1967 Explorer ref. 1016 from 1976 at HQ Milton in San Francisco (Awesome shop - highly recommend!!!!)

I have been browsing around and was curious on some suggestions for "Trusted Sellers" I wanted to see if anyone would be willing to share their experience in purchasing vintage as well as NOS from trusted sellers on the forum - is there a list of trusted sellers? Sorry if its a dumb question, still navigating forum and could use some help!

Any suggestions, recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Mike

Read the reviews in the who's who section, vet them a bit and you'll be fine. You'll see a few of the Niger volume, higher post count folks. If they've been here a while, sold a lot of watches, you'll be safe.

Do you think they'd last long if they continually scammed us?

New to Forum - advice/list of Trusted Sellers

While there isn't a moderated list per se, there are some names posted in a Stickie in the vintage section. It's a list of trusted vintage watch sellers/shops/webistes we have previously purchased from/heard good things about in one place for easy reference.

That's supposed to be "higher" not "Niger". Although I hear Niger is nice this time of year
