Houston-area reputable reseller/ pawn shop

Can any of my fellow Houstonians suggest a reputable reseller of luxury watches (Rolex, Panerai, etc.)? If you know of a good resller or pawn shop, I would appreciate your input. The only reputable one that I know of is Tourneau, and their prices are high for used watches. Thanks.

Try Hal Martin's on Westheimer. I sold a datejust there last month. They even had three Daytonas at the time.

Be careful in pawn shops, you need to know your stuff and always have a caseback opener! I have come across a lot of franken watches in pawn shops.

Bummer! But hey, That place is just a few blocks from my house Karis! And I never thought to go in there. If you're ever in that area, on the opposite corner of W. Gray and Montrose is Cristy's Donuts. They make the BEST kolaches!
