There is a jeweler in Chicago, Howard Frumm, in the Jeweler's Building, in a shop up on the eighth or ninth floor, who sells and services only used high-end watches. He's the only guy to see about used Rolex in Chicago - and I don't know, but I'd surmise, that he's one of the busiest in the United States. He so dominates the market here that if you look for a Rolex in a pawn shop, they will send you to Howard. His prices are always highly competitive (about $100 or $200 higher than what the identical watch sells for on eBay, the service is very personal, repair/restoration department is excellent. But for some reason he won't give you a bill of sale. He'll give you an estimate for insurance purposes and nothing more. Perhaps once he got burned with a stolen watch? If you like Rolex and if you visit Chicago, go see Howard.
