Hello OF/Members!
I am currently looking to buy my first pocket watch. I am wondering if anyone knows of any good physical places in Chicago where I could go look for a pocket watch. My budget is 350 USD. I would very much enjoy getting a vintage Omega pocket watch. Also, I have been looking at pocket watches on Ebay but am hesitant to buy one from there, any tips/suggestions on buying pocket watches (vintage) online? Thanks in advance!!

 

I’ll be in Chicago too next week. All suggestions are highly appreciated.

 

I think @Larry S is in that neck of the woods...

 

See my response to @albertob. I would add jewelry district in south loop off Wabash. There is a dealer on Belmont Ave on North Side but caveat emptor.

 

thank you very much!
