London Jewelers - Short Hills Mall

Has anyone been there lately? Just wondering if they have any of the new 2023 models on display as exhibition pieces, specifically the new Sky Dwellers - mint green and rose gold blue models.

I visited the store last year while I was visiting NY, and honestly, it felt like they prioritized hiring nastiest staff and salespeople.

A month or two ago I went to one of their NY/LI location.
They didn’t have any sky dweller on display.

Wasn’t the warmest experience with an AD unfortunately

I’ve bought two watches this year from the Short Hills Boutique. I found the store to be excellent. My wife and I both really liked our SA, Christopher Grey. He follows up very well and even sent me a hello months later to see how I was. No sales pressure. Of course he liked us as well, which likely makes a difference. I have not been in since May so I cannot answer the OPs question, but they had a lot of display watches.

For the area I think they have the most display models. I don’t know about the sky dweller, but they didn’t have the 1908 last week, they actually had a Cellini on display.

My wife and I are planning on visiting the Short Hills mall tomorrow and will stop by London Jewelers to see what’s on display. I’ll post an update tomorrow evening. I’m hoping they have the new rose gold blue skydweller on display.

I'm a fan of London jewelers. This past summer they practically had the entire Rolex catalogue in exhibition pieces at the Nassau county store.

Stopped bothering to stop by since you have to wait in line like a peasant to see nothing.

Does anyone know why they no longer sell Rolex in the Oculus location near World Trade Center? Still have Tudor — can’t image the stopped by choice…

I talked to the manager at the Oculus location back when they still had Rolex. He said they didn’t get as many as some of their other locations, presumably due to the saturation of Rolex dealers in Manhattan. I wasn’t surprised when they quit selling the brand.

PS: I have been in that store twice and both times was treated very courteously and they were happy to show me a bunch of watches with no pressure to buy.

Had a huge selection of exhibition pieces. My wife and I were able to try on a few of the pieces we really liked and never saw in person before. The store was extremely busy.

Was able to try on a yellow gold DD with white Roman dial, rose gold DD with chocolate diamond dial, rose gold chocolate Sky Dweller on oyster flex, my wife loved the blue floral motif datejust and also the rose gold dd with diamond bezel and the new aventurine stone dial. Watch was a stunner.

We put our names down for a few pieces, and will hope for the best. Had a great experience.

About a year ago walked into the East Hampton store on LI. The SA wanted to bundle me to buy something I did not need. I walked out.
