I am in Philly this week, are there any AD's worth checking out?

National Watch at 8th & Chestnut has a lot of watches Rolex included but I don't think they are an AD. Jack Kelmer is out of business I believe. Maybe some of the other members can think of any other ADs in center city.

Frankie: come to so. central pa. AD's in Lancaster, York, Hanover.....the one in York will make you a deal, and the grey marketeers up at Adamstown, should be back with great deals from the NAWCC National in Michigan. Better than 7th/8th Street area for sure....(I hope I'm not being a downer on your Philly trip, but Jewlers' Row has a bad rep for sure.....not saying you can't find something down there, just be very careful, is all)...Have a great time!

Frank, National Watch are not ADs but do sell some really nice pre-owned Rolex and others.

I've been there and some of the surrounding "Grey"dealers. Lots of Frankenwatches and shady people. I'd stick to the AD's if your looking to buy. If your just looking to kill some time NWAD and the surrounding jewlers will certainly do the trick.

Murphy's, just off I-78 across from Cabella's, is a very, very nice AD. Great space for buying a watch.
East Petersburg has a very relaxed and honest AD [family business].

Caldwells is the local chain. Suburban Square moved their line recently, and I'm not sure if it is back.
I visited the Caldwells at King of Prussia mall recently [the one in the newer building].
The gal kept them very clean, and let me handle a gold Datejust.
But not a Day-Date.

Decent selection for a buyer, though, of the $5000-$8000 watches.
