New York City Watch Shopping

Well actually, window shopping. I'll be in NYC over Easter weekend and would like to have a list of watch stores that are on the "must see" list. When my wife, her mother, sister in law, and their kids go to the Today show I'd like to drag my brother in law out and make the rounds. I'll be staying close to Tme Square. Lets hear your suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
dP

Well....my 2 cents (on window shopping):
Rolex Building (nothing exhibited, but hey, Rolex HQ for America!)
WEMPE
Tourneau (all locations, specially Time Machine)
and also a stop by Cartier, why not?!?

If you are staying close to Times Square, Gerardo has nailed it. Have fun.

Speaking of plotzing, Dan, if you can get to this place to eat (Tu-Sat, 9am-3pm), I highly recommend it. The food is amazing!

have a great time in ny, and don't miss the RSC at NY in the rolex building, 5th floor,53 or 54th and 5th Avenue(lots and lots of watch places there too) classy, quiet decor, and the women who are the service people, well.......enough said. Walk into Winston's: they're pleasant and the jewelry is beyond belief, although the STARTING prices are in the stratosphere they will treat you with utmost courtesy and respect, whether you're there to buy or just gawk.
best, dan
