Grey and Patina - Curtis Chen

Does anyone have any experience dealing with Curtis from Grey and Patina?

I'm considering a purchase with them.

While I have not purchased the watch quite yet, Curtis has been unbelievably top notch. He answered multiple rounds of questions, sent hi res shots of every picture I asked for and is meeting me in person later this week. Will report back after the meeting.

You can buy from Curtis and Grey and Patina confidently. I have personally done many deals with Curtis and can vouch for his business and professionalism. Curtis knows his stuff and his pieces are always represented properly and are in the highest condition.

Curtis is an honorable and trusted dealer

Standup Gentleman and great dealer.

I have completed several transactions with Curtis and he has been nothing but top notch. He is courteous, responsive and professional with his watches. Looking forward to more deals with Grey and Patina.

Just completed a trade with Curtis aka b.wayne... deal in confidence with Curtis. Quick response and appreciate the face time via phone. Put my mind at ease being that I’m on the other side of the country and to see live video of the watch along with putting a face to the name prior to moving forward.

Great experience with Curtis. Very happy with my transaction. I purchased a vintage watch and he was incredibly helpful with his knowledge and insight are top notch. Do not hesitate to work with him! He has some amazing pieces!

Just got the 5513 maxi Mk3 with the condition that I have been looking for from Curtis!

It was my first time getting a vintage Rolex and to make things worse on my sense of insecurity, an overseas purchase. Especially on my fear that the watch is lost during shipping.

Really appreciative of Curtis’ patience especially when I asked so many questions, for videos and photos for reassurance that the condition is indeed what I can accept. He also assured me on his experience in shipping via FedEx with insurance.

I just received my watch 2 days ago and was very satisfied with it. Condition is really what I expected, notably on the patina color so I decided to help spread the good word to people who might be in the same boat as me.

Would definitely deal with this guy again and hopefully more to come! (If my financials allow hahaha)

I had the pleasure of working with Curtis with my purchase of a ‘93 14060 with amazing patina. From beginning of o end it was an excellent experience and was lucky enough to live close enough to pick up the watch in person. I’m beyond thrilled with this purchase and when the bank on account recoups, happy to work with Curtis again. Highly recommend G&P!
