Don't put Black Bough up, that's my not very secret favourite place to keep tabs on vintage numbers coming in! The owner created his own book available for sale on there too so the pair definitely know their stuff. Absolutely beautiful 16014 they sold a while back now, patina was perfection. It's on their YouTube if people wanna look it up!

The Black Bough guy gets nice vintage Oyster case Rolexes in on a fairly regular basis, there’s a 1960s Oysterdate on there at the moment:

I would definitely trust the condition of anything he sells. @inchpincher’s linen dial Air King Date is a very nice example.
Some of the Chrono24 prices are very optimistic, if you do go that route then consider making a much lower offer. Chrono24 holds money in escrow so you have a chance to inspect once you receive it, but if you’re not totally sure what to look for it could be riskier.
