Wanna Buy A Watch... LA, CA
Spending an extended weekend in LA visiting old friends and we stumbled upon a watch store on melrose ave called 'Wanna buy a watch'. Inside they had an amazing selection of vintage Rolex and Tudor watches, among many other luxury brands. Although I would not consider myself a WIS I do appreciate fine timepieces and the history associated with them. They had bubble back rolexes from the 40's, a few 5513s that were newly restored, and some spectacular old daytonas. I did not take any pics as I did not have my camera but if you're in the LA area I would highly recommend stopping by. Anyone from the LA on the forum have any experience with them?

Nice idea for a shop
More good honest shops dealing in Vintage would be good way to manage the fraudsters on CL and eBay.

The store is a short driving distance for me and they have a watch that I like (but NOT need). I don't want to stop by for fear........
