Help finding pre-owned PPs while in NY.

I am looking to make my first PP purchase and would like the opportunity to view and try on some models while visiting New York in the next few weeks.

Any advice on the best retailers I should visit where I might find a nice selection of pre-owned Patek's (entry and mid level models...not the historic and/or 6 figure variety unfortunately!)? We will be staying in the Rockefeller Center area of town.

Thanks in advance.

Here's my post from last year... not all of these places have pre-owned or PP, but all are worth checking out!

Take a stroll through Diamond District,there are a lot of high end grey dealers that will let you try on a variety of pieces. Prices are significantly better and can be negotiated unlike retailers such as Wempe.

Somewhat on par with the used selection, service and knowledgeable staff found at your average Tourneau I would imagine :)

Thanks for sharing.
