Where else do you look for a vintage?

I am really interested in getting a GMT 16758, but it is proving hard to find a good and honest copy. Most of the premier vintage brokers only do Rolex with plastic, this is a transitional one with sapphire. Any suggestions beyond VRF, James List, eBay and here?

Thanks!

Patrick

Contact the vintage sellers...its a sticky. They may not do a lot of these transitional watches but im sure they come across a ton. And if they have a buyer then they could easily pick you up one. Good luck in the hunt.

Try a IWJG or similar watch show. These usually sell at a 20% discount to a similar 1 in plastic

I found a couple in VRF Forums, just as a 2 second search. It depends which one you're looking for. There's also timzone forums and of course the wonderful for sale forum in here.

Good luck!!
