Over the years we have bought out Collections, Watchmaker estates, as well as jewelry stores that were going out of business. It has been an exciting ride from Seattle , Washington to the Tip of Florida. From Calgary Alberta Canada to Belize City Belize. Along the way I get not only complete watches, watch bands, clocks, tools and machinery, but I also get some great watch parts to offer on Ebay.
