Marshall Pierce is not a Rolex AD, but an excellent retailer of Richemont brands.

A great place to see Rolex (and Patek) is Razny's on Oak Street.

The Rolex boutique on Michigan Ave is a good spot for all things Rolex, but is owned by Tourneau.

Enjoy!!

Razny has a few locations. They are all phenomenal!

Razny, C.D Peacock, James and Sons, Persin and Robins. They are all nice. But if you are look for discount on the popular models (BLNR, D-Blue, LV, or Sport watches), you most likely won't get any.

+1 on Howard Frum. There's another shop (name escapes me at the moment) across the street with a large selection of Rolex and other brands. I think it's on the 4th floor. Then go around the corner and have cocktails at the Gage

I most went during lunch to check it out. We could've had a coffee together.

What's the deal with Howard Frum? I'm a Chicago native but haven't lived there since I was 18. I visit fairly frequently though and am always looking to check out new watch spots (I've been to Razny, Marshall Pierce and Swiss Fine Timing).

Small shop with large selection of pre-owned Rolex, knowledgeable and down-to-earth sales people. Will do trades and source specific requests. Looking forward to visiting again next time in Chicago!

Razny is the best imo and Swiss fine timing have a decent variety and nice customer service.
