Any watch clubs out in the Pacific Northwest (i.e. Portland or Eugene, OR area)? Something like this: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/18/...l?smprod=nytcore-ipad&smid=nytcore-ipad-share Would be fun to handle some watches.
National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors has a chapter in Portland. Chapter 31 president is Robert Gordon, and chapter secretary is Kristen Freiermuth. If you need more information as to how to contact the secretary (a personal friend of my wife), get back to us.
