HQ Milton in San Fran
Anybody ever visit in person I'm headed there next week and thought it may be worth a visit, looks like they carry tons of vintage watches.

It's in the Mission of SF... call ahead, get buzzed in, and up the stairs.
Scott and Jacek are good guys, with amazing stuff. Don't linger, or you will surely have to have one of these, and one of those, and ...... |

To the OP: My wife is going to kill you for introducing me to yet another amazing site on which to perseverate over Rolex watches.

I've bought two watches from Jacek & Scott. They did a great deal and really looked after me.
At some point when I get to SF dropping in to see these guys will be first on my list of watch priorities. Cheers Jules. |

I've been there and ended up selling a watch and buying four other watches. I then bought a another watch through their web site. I have nothing but good things to say about Jacek and Scott.

Great, thank you guys, I'm a little afraid now always wanted a red sub and thank god, I have never seen one in person, I tend to be a tad impulsive.
I'll get by there the next time I'm in the bay area |

Was just there about a month ago, went to meet Jacek in person as my 1675 came from him and just browse...ended up leaving with a 1680 Don't be put off when you go to the shop, its located above a pawn shop not in the best area of SF. Go inside the pawn shop and they will get you upstairs where you will find vintage (and modern) Rolex heaven. Jacek lists his cell number on his posts and told me thats the best way to get a hold of him. I know he travels a lot to different shows so make sure you set up an appointment in advance to make sure he is in town. Both him and Scott are great guys to deal with, those that have been there can tell you that this is a dangerous place for a WIS with a credit card
Didn't take many shots but here are a few crappy iPhone pics from my visit... |

I was there a few months ago, Great place, and as implied above it is not in the most affluent retail district.

I met Jacek and Scott this past week at the SF RSC when I purchased a Polar Ex2 from them. Great service and very friendly. They have some very interesting vintage stuff for all Rolex aficionados.

Jacek is great, just as everybody has said. I've visited him several times and last time could not resist this 16758 transitional. I am a very satisfied customer

I'm only an hour and a half away. I'm afraid to go down there as I wouldn't be able to leave without some serious damage!! Love my 16750 set I got from Jacek.
