Palm Beach predictably has ADs for all the high end brands Rolex, Patek, ALS, JLC, etc all in close proximity within walking distance on or just off Worth Ave. There's also a Tourneau but I'm so-so on that one. Maybe the locals can weigh in with some independent hidden gems.

An hour away in downtown Miami is the Seybold building which has 100 shops that sell Rolex & jewels.
Too far? Best advice I can give closest. Sorry. |

Boca Town Center Mall has an Omega store as well as a Mayors that sells many of the high end watches that you are looking for and there is also a Les Bijoux who carries many high end pieces....Don't think you'll find any deals there tho...but you'll definitely see a lot of beautiful timepieces

I found Tourneau on Palm Beach filled with pretentious salespeople. One gentleman told me my Submariner 1680 was old, and I should upgrade.

Mayors at Boca Town Center is a beautiful storefront and an AD with a huge in store stock of all the desirable Rolex models. Ask for Estella. She's terrific. she'll spend as much time with you as you like and will let you try on as many different watches as you wish..... even if she knows you are not there to buy. She is warm, knowledgable and very patient.
You'll read very mixed feedback on Mayors here on the TRF but I have only good things to say about that specific location and Estella herself. Price wise, they don't do much on SS models but will discount PM. They also offer a free five year extension to the Rolex five year warranty on any Rolex purchase so your watch, SS or PM, is covered for a full 10 years. They happily ship out of state so you can save the sales tax. I have absolutely no conflicts of interest in so far as Mayors or Estella are concerned. But, I will admit that I was so taken by her professionalism when I went in "just to look," that I ended up making a purchase from her. All things considered, I did not feel I could do any better anywhere else! Good luck! |

I know it's easy to bag on Tourneau, but in this case I was pleasantly surprised. Weird, I know.

watchuwant.com which sells all types of luxury preowned watches are located in Hollywood which is about a half hour drive south of Boca. You can browse inventory on line and if there's something you really like go and see it live at their location.

Jewels in Time is in Boca, you also have the Intl Jewelry Exchange where there are watch booths. Boca also has some AD's for the major brands. Miami has some AWESOME watch dealers like Matt Bain. I also think there is a jewelry mart in Aventura. In PB there are a bunch of AD's and one vintage store but I think its more for looking than for buying.

Yep, lots of high-end boutiques/ADs on Worth Ave. I've always been treated well at all of them, even when I am dressed pretty shoddy. Yes, Tourneau, too.
I would also suggest Hamilton Jewelers at the Gardens Mall...Panerai, Tudor, Patek, and others. I believe there is a Tourneau there as well, and a Mayor's that has Vacheron Constantine. |

I live in Boca. If you are looking used, jr dunn in lighthouse pointe has a good selection and great family owned company. If you want ultra chic somebody above said Mizner has an AP boutique. Raymond Lee albeit I'm not a fan of the salespeople (a bit expensive) there but they usually have a decent watch selection and carry all the high end brands.

My Grandparents live in Boynton Beach. Last time my family visited them I took the wife and baby to Mayors at the Aventura mall. They were a great AD and had a great selection. JR Dunn in Lauderdale (lighthouse point, I think to be exact) was also a wonderful AD (IMO)
