NYC Rolex Window Shopping?

Can you fine folks recommend any places to go see some vintage and great valued Rolex pieces? I am in NYC for a little while for work and would like to spend some downtime maybe adding something extra to take home on my wrist.

The OP can have the item shipped to CA and then NY tax won't apply. Just like an Internet sale...

You're better off not purchasing in NYC if you care about getting a discount.

When looking at vintage models, there's some advantages to window shopping even if the prices are too high.. You get the thing in your hands, on your wrist and see it - feel it first hand vs. photo's.

If you can't reach a deal on what you want, then you can start your online hunt later on - and be more certain of what you're looking for.

Aaron Faber has an excellent selection, but throw the idea of a good deal out the window.
