when i put wanted ads on 4 watch forums i had about 30 emails from all over the globe and some were dodgy to say the least... im talking NOS tudors that just happen to be from 1967 with all box's and papers but when asked for more in focus pictures and references they got all defensive and didnt want to deal with me!!
i then decided to only deal with people who had a good reputation on here or other forums
BUY THE SELLER FIRST is the best bit of advice i have ever had from anyone

thanks TRF what a great place this really is

I really like the vintage Rolex watches they are a work of art and if Steve sold it to you, he is a good egg. All I hear is great things about him.









BTW Steves avatar is a little scary!
