I'm not sure but Horton Plaza shopping center may have a couple of watch stores,cannot quite remember.Again I'm not sure,but maybe Tourneau is there. In that case,run as fast as you can.

I think that Fashion Valley mall in Mission Valley is the best bet, with a large number of stores for you. Ben Bridge, Royal Maui Jewelers and there's another smaller jewelry store that has a sign saying they sell vintage Rolex, but I can't remember the name. There's a Neiman Marcus which carries some high-end watches in the $10,000+ range, but no Rolex.

There's also a Tourneau that sells Rolex, but only used ones, but I wouldn't recommend buying there, from what I've heard here.

I have bought from 3 of the AD's here in San Diego and visited them all. I would suggest that Royal Maui (Fashion Valley) and Swiss Watch Gallery (La Jolla) are the best. Ben Bridge (especially in Fashion Valley) is a very distant last although the one at Horton Plaza has a fairly large selection the last time I was there. These are for new watches, cannot recommend used although I think Leo Hammel's (Old Town) has a nice selection.

+1 on Swiss Watch gallery in La Jolla! I've dealt with them many times - always great! If you go there, ask for Liz (she's the manager). I don't know what their used selection is, but they are very well stocked with Rolex!
Good luck!

Royal Maui had good service. I purchased a couple watches from them with no complaints.
