Are there actually any vintage replicas on the market? Are the any specialized factories/TDs? Looking for the Oyster Perpetual from 1973. Too special, right?

Vintage reps? (Oyster Perpetual 1973)

Up until 10-15 years ago you probably could pick up an Oyster Perpetual Rolex for maybe $1000. Look for a Rolex 1002- that's one model. Also, a Rolex Air King 5500 is another but it doesn't have the SCOC movement. These watches weren't typically repped because there wasn't much demand for them. Silix Prime has some vintage watches like this Air King

But alas Silix isn't a TD here. However I've never had a problem buying from them .
Another way to go would be to buy a gen case and dial and put together your own watch.

Thanks! Yes, they have some vintage models I like. They just don't mention any factories. But they are a TD here as far as I can see.

yes, I see they're a TD now. Someone previously had mentioned they weren't, so I believed them.
You might even want to look at an upgrade- maybe get one with a eta clone movement.

JK factory makes the best vintage models. You prob want a red dial submariner for a 1973 watch. Or a double red sea-dweller. They have those.
