NOS Time Seoul, amazing Rolex vintage dealer

[dshin525]

I've been in Seoul for 2 years and I heard about this place not long after I arrived. I have always wanted to go but whenever I was in the area, they were either closed or I didn't have the time.
I finally got the chance to visit today and I was blown away by what was in the display cases. The shop itself is very un-assuming. I forgot to take a pic from the outside but it is a small (and I mean small) shop on the 1st floor of a 4 story building. It is located in Sewon Square, which is a well know market for used watches and jewelry dealers. There are also a decent amount of watch repair shops.

I actually wanted to get a strap for my Omega Speedy MK40. NOS Time has a great selection of them. I settle on a tan suede strap to somewhat match the patina on the dial.


As for the watches that was in the display cases:








For some reason, the YM stuck out like a sore thumb and really seemed out of place!




There was also another case mainly filled with Omegas and Cartiers.




While I was there, I also had the owner put on a jubilee bracelet on my 16710. Luckily he had the right sized OEM rolex spring bars to make it work. Since the bracelet is 62510H, it needs 1.5mm thick spring bars.



And from what I have heard, he is the biggest vintage Rolex dealer in Korea. Plus he said that he can source pretty much any rolex parts and accessories.

Anyhow, if anyone is ever in Seoul, be sure to stop by Nos Time.
