Okay, just landed in Paris, where should I go for pre owned pieces

Just got to Paris with the wife, she's a French professor, I'm just along for the ride. I've been 5 or 6 times but interested in suggestions outside of the normal boutiques that won't have anything anyway. Looking for a couple of suggestions for pre owned pieces. I've got 8ndsysband we're staying in the 6th.

Thanks!

I would recommend M.M.C. located 9 rue Marbeuf, Paris 08, between the Seine river and the Champs Elysées.

They should be opened on Monday 6, as from 10AM.

They have a web site where you could see what is their current stock (Google "MMC Rolex" or "MMC Paris Rolex").

Paris Shmaris, get on the Eurostar and come up to London at least for a couple of days, lots of used shops here, but they are not cheap.

I always stay at the Renaissance Vendome hotel, off topic but important, the restaurant there is amazing for dinner. The chefs are amazing and it is a really fun place to eat. Very lively, we always have a blast.

Watch hunting is fun. But in Paris I would suggest visiting two patisseries for every watch shop you visit.

On top of the great places already mentioned, pass by Olivine Prestige, 6 rue de Tocqueville.

I just walked by M.M.C. in Paris. Lots of interesting pieces in their window, but the prices were a bit painful (U.S.$ 16,500 equivalent for a BLNR GMT):
