Hi guys,

I'm heading for NYC on saturday, and I'm looking for tips for shops to visit, while my wife is at macy's, nordstroms etc...

So is there any good used or AD stores in NYC that might carry Rolexes? I'm not sure I'm going to buy anything, but it would be great to pass some time.

Go to 47th street between 5th & 6th avenues. There you will find many grey dealers with a ton of Rolexes.
Also go to rolex.com and search for ADs in the area. There should be 5 or 6 there.
Have fun!

Rolex won't let me know of any other AD's than my Finnish AD's... How stupid is that...?

Hey, thanks for the 47th and 6th, I've heard about this area, so this is the place to go if I was to pick up a "grey" Rolex?

The AD's are:
Wempe
William Barthman
Tourneau (multiple locations)

Google them for the addresses.
Good luck!

Aaron Faber is great. They have a wide selection of vintage watches. Tourneau is not the best place for service, they treat you horribly. (See the treads on people who complain about Torneau) Some of the Non-AD shops that have Rolex are better than ADS sometimes. (Just a tip)

You might laugh; it's down in Chinatown:

John Criscitiello
Alltiques
88 A Bowery

I stopped in a year and half ago: a very impressive inventory!

If you are looking to go gray make sure you go during the week !!! Also make sure you stop at wempe they are very nice and may offer you a drink !!!

I agree, the main Torneau has poor service and high prices. Wempe is much, much better. Wempe gives discounts too. :)

If you wife is going to Nordstroms you won't have enough left for a Rolex!

I would avoid the William Barthman in downtown by the world trade center site..... a bunch of stuck up snobs and little to no discount. I will never step foot in there in this lifetime.
