5205g

Hello friends,
I am looking to pick up a 5205g blue dial. Anyone in the Chicago area have one for me to see in person? I have an acquaintance 4 hours away and was planning on making the trip if needed to see it live and in-person, but I prefer to avoid the road trip.

Thanks in advance!

Have you checked Chrono24 for any local sellers ?

Surely there must be a few with a 5205g in.

Sounds like a situation for someone to have their 5205g ripped off their wrist.

yeah frankly seems like an odd question - OP should research grey dealers and try the watches on this way

Checkout the VC boutique on MI Ave (couple stores down from omega). They have a second hand shop in the back… I was pretty surprised how deep their AP/PP/Rolex inventory was. They had pretty much every hot piece plus some real rarities. Haven’t been since April so I’m not sure about current inventory, worth a call.

Agreed on the inventory, very nice variety from FPJ, APs, etc... Only buyer caveat is, the prices are above what you'll see with our trusted sellers but great to stop by and try on a couple pieces.
