Michel Vittini: Corsican Vintage Rolex dealer and related articles
Michel Vittini is a Corsican watch dealer, passionate about Rolex and more particularly Vintage Rolex. This page gathers the Passion Horlogère articles that mention him: live meetings, views on the pre-owned market and watch photos.
Michel Vittini is a Corsican watch dealer, presented by Passion Horlogère as a Rolex enthusiast, and more particularly a Vintage Rolex enthusiast. A caption from May 2021 describes him as a “French specialist in Vintage Rolex”. He lives in the south of Corsica and is active in the Facebook group Club Rolex France, where the editorial team regularly crosses paths with him.
The first content on this page dates from spring 2020. On 23 April 2020, the magazine announced the second instalment of its Rencontres Horlogères on Instagram, a conversation with Michel Vittini, presented as a collector and dealer, set for Friday 24 April 2020 from 7pm. In November 2020, Could Santa Claus be Corsican? told the story of a Facebook Live organised in the Club Rolex France group, from his home in Corsica.
His opinion as a pre-owned professional is also sought. In September 2020, in the article on the first Rolex Submariner 126610 LV delivered by Bucherer in Paris, he is quoted on the very high prices seen on the pre-owned market when the watch launched. According to him, these prices were those announced during a launch period, with undeniable enthusiasm.
The magazine then mentions his reputation. On 28 December 2021, in the article on the Rolex price changes of 3 January 2022, he is cited among the independent dealers with an excellent reputation according to members of specialist Facebook groups, with displayed prices that he makes a point of honouring. In October 2022, the article Rolex, between rumours and speculation mentions a vintage Rolex Daytona sold by him and ranks him among the professionals who have worked for years to build a solid reputation with watch enthusiasts.
His photographs also illustrate some articles: in May 2021, a Rolex Daytona offered by him accompanies the article on Watchfinder and forgotten watches. In April 2024, a photo of a Rolex double, sourced from him and published in the Club Rolex France group, illustrates an article on counterfeit watches.
