My wife and I are headed to Paris for thanksgiving and I was think about looking for a used GMT or sub while we are over there. Any suggestions on a good used watch store. Thanks in advance.

Can't help you out with a place to get a used, but one nugget for you:

Do plenty of research on VAT refund. I am not sure you can claim it on second hand items... someone else can chime in.

If not, you might get a better deal if you can find something new and claim full VAT refund (minus fees).

^^ This is correct. You will have to pay VAT on a used watch which will definitely kill any deal. Even on a new watch that is eligible for VAT refund, you will not likely get the entire amount refunded because most stores used a third party service (like Global Blue) that keeps a good chunk as their fee.
