Vintage shops in S. Florida?

SFla is a minefield of pawn shops, but are there any worth visiting? Any vintage shops down there?

None, absolutely no watches to be found anywhere. Stay away for your own safety :-)

Firmly tongue in cheek. M

I'm afraid I would buy myself broke in all those pawnshops. Unfortunately we don't really have them over here.

Not like the old days. The pawn shops all put the watches on ebay. My last find in a South Florida pawn shop was about four years ago.

You could try the International Jewelry Exchange on Biscayne near the Aventura Mall. Lots of dealers with pre owned Rolex. Cannot vouch for pricing or integrity so do your due diligence.
