Vintage question

I'm beginning my quest for a 1680 red dial, is anyone familiar with Aaron Faber in NYC?

You can try John around 72 Bowery in Chinatown, nice guy and he may have what you're looking for. He specializes in vintage watches. He has a store front there.

There are plenty of vintage guys here on TRF... I'd look to them before I'd look anywhere else. Good luck buddy

I was there yesterday. They lock the door and staff wont let you out unless approval from the Boss. What a Fu@ked up operation.

There's a thread about them here on TRF. I just read it.. what a laugh fest. Someone connected to the shop came and posted on the TRF thread, and it was so stinking obvious that it was him...
