Can anyone recommend a good place to buy a quality used watch in Houston? I'm looking for something like an Omega, Panerai or Sinn.
Hal Martin's off Westheimer is where my Dad and I go to for watches. They don't have a lot of Omega's, but I plenty of Panerai and Sinn watches if I remember correctly.
It's usually not local but if you don't mind purchasing online I'd check the Watchuseek forum's for sale threads. More often then not the Panerai, Omega, and Sinn watches comes with everything (box, warranty card, etc.). I've purchased a lot of watches from there the past couple of years without any issues (actually bought an Omega Speedmaster Reduced a couple of months ago from there).
Good suggestion. Another site worth looking at is: http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=threadt&frm_id=32 I have purchased watches through WatchUSeek and TimeZone...
Also I'm sure others can chime in too but if you want an aggregated list of all used watches for sale that you see on Watchuseek, timezone, omega forums, rolex forums, etc, use www.watchrecon.com there's an app for it that's very useful.
I'm very well connected in the Panerai community and know a ton of dealers so if there is something you want I can most likely find it for you and put in a favor for pricing. I have been to many of the wholesale watch shows and stuff. Check my Sig. Any brands can be had. If you want hit me up through the board and I will get you the info. I use this all the time.
