List of good local watch stores anywhere?

This seemed like the appropriate place to place this. New here and loving the amount of knowledge gained just by browsing... I travel a lot, and enjoy walking into watch stores on my free time on my trips, would love a list of good watch shops in certain cities. I tried searching, and came up with nothing, but that could just be my searching talents failing me.

IS there such a list? If not, shouldn't we start one?

New York City. If you go to Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, you are near an amazing amount of watch stores and boutiques. Wempe and Cellini are great stores. Some of the nearby boutiques: Audemars Piguet, Breitling, Panerai, Journe, Rolex, IWC, Seiko,JLC, VC, Lange, Cartier, Omega, Breguet and I am sure there are more that I missed.

Also Tiffany and Bulgari at Fifth and 59th. Tourneau is there, too, not my favorite, but they have a lot of watches.

To add to the NYC list, you have Watches of Switzerland in Soho. Awesome place. Around 63rd and Madison, you have JLC, FP Journe, Lange, and Panerai within about a block.

Forgot to add mine :) In Chicago we have the boutiques up on Michigan Ave, but in the loop on Wacker there is Howard Frum and Legends in Time, both on S. Wacker in 'Jewelers Row'. Excellent pre owned selections, and real nice staff (Frum especially)
