Where do people go for vintage pieces? I heard there's a nice watch community out in Hong Kong but wondering where people look/go for some older not-in-production models.

What kind of vintage pieces do you have in mind? The big risk here is pieces that are misrepresented as original - be it frankenwatches put together from parts, poorly maintained or badly polished examples, or fakes altogether.

Ultimately completely original pieces will command the most money but there’s a lot of depth to this area and lots of people who’d like to take advantage of those who don’t know the nuance.

I guess my desire to learn more stems from my interest in rare or unique models such as the 1019 Milgauss or a pre-Daytona chronometer.

Completely get the risk for counterfeits or frankenwatches so was curious as to where more knowledgeable members of the community go to browse/purchase.

Rolex forums, plenty of reputable sellers

I have two of these - they’re each 4 years old, battle-tested and keeping perfect time. Ronda movement in a US assembled case... very good 800-1k range watch for a wide range of wearability.
