Hello, new user....possible question

[Falstaff]

Hi,

First post so thought I'd say hello....long-time watch admirer and Rolex in particular, finally at the stage of life where I can think about possibly buying a vintage example (or at least kidding myself that it's an investment...when really I would just like one...ha)

So...is it good form or acceptable to ask for some advice on one I'm thinking of buying? And would it be okay to get some opinions on it here if I post pics? The example in question is a 50s (semi?) bubble-back with fairly severe pitting of the movement visible from case pics....

If not, please just accept the hello and let me know what the done thing is...I've been reading herely passively for ages, and it seems the place to garner advice. I know from years with vintage guitar amps that forum reading is no substitutefor actual time wit the things, close scrutiny, and people with years of experience and a good eye.

Thanks,

Falstaff

Welcome you probably will be best served posting the pictures in the vintage forum. I am far from an expert on what is and is not great value, but given plenty of Rolex have been made only some are collectable.

As stated above your best bet would be the vintage section. There is a lot to learn before buying vintage. Welcome!

Thanks all, will do...

I've been through all the vintage advice pages, recent and old, a while back - great stuff, but know from vintage amps and guitars that there's no substitute for actually seeing the stuff up close....vintage guitars/amps have also suffered from a lot of very good faking over the years...and where the real money is, the 'better' fakers go....I suppose it's the old thing about 'buying the seller'...

I'll post some pics over there...
