I've seen Tissots and Hamiltons in the Macy's by me for some time, but never a Montblanc.

At least online, besides Hamilton, Tissot, and Montblanc, they sell Longines, Raymond Weil, RADO, and Tag automatics, plus Ebel, I believe.

Thanks but I think I will stick to getting mine via other WIS sellers.

My local Neiman Marcus has a very nice collection. They carry some pretty hard to find brands - Chopard, Girard Perregaux, Parmigiani, Chanel, Franck Muller, Bvlgari, Loius Vitton, DeWitt, Hermes etc.
The staff are also well-trained about the watches and movements they carry and are very courteous. Very boutique-like atmosphere.
I understand how this will drive up prices to a certain extent but this also means that non-WIS have some good, reliable options to buy vintage watches.
I'm gonna ask them about this program the next time I visit the store.

I believe they partnered with Crown and Caliber for this program.I feel like their prices, at least what they have posted to their website, are well above market for the pieces.

Spoke to them yesterday. They don't have access to the inventory yet, but the rep said he's gonna try to bring some stuff over as soon as the store can get access to it.
Prices are on the higher side though, usual dealer markup involved.
