Recommended watch shops in Paris

Does anyone have recommended watch shops in Paris (new/grey, vintage, etc)? And any insight in how the pricing compares to US? Thanks!

Dont know about pricing exactly. Usual advice is to not get your hopes up as a tourist. Lots of beautiful shops at place Vendome and Rue de la Paix. The Cartier flagship is pretty awsome. Don't know the grey retailers. Bucherer near Madeleine will have lots of Rolex and other brands except PP and AP. AP boutique is also located at Madeleine.

Of ALL THE THINGS to do in Paris, you want to go to a Rolex watch store?!

Good grief man. Go to the Louvre, the Musee D'Orsay and Versailles. Those three places alone will take you more than five days of sightseeing. Go walk beside the river, or have a nice dinner at the Latin Quarter. Heck, walk up to the top of the Eiffel. I did it and it wasn't that bad.

But for Chrissakes, don't look for watches.
Does your travel partner even know that's what you want to do?

I've only been a member for a few months and already know Paris is one of the last places that a tourist will score any Rolex models right now.

Rolex had a small boutique in the Opera Shoppes when we were there in Nov 2019. Slim collection on display even then…
