Any Jacksonville FL Recommendations?

Going to be in Jacksonville for the first time in years this Friday and Saturday - JUST Jacksonville; won't have time for any side-trips unfortunately due to work meetings mixed with a little time off.

Already planning on a trip to Mayor's and Underwood's, possibly a joint called A-1 Coin & Stamp that seems to have or have had a decent vintage selection over the years - does anyone have any recommendations for other spots to check out? I'll mostly be in the downtown area but would love to pop in to as many spots as I can as I'm usually further north up the coast when I travel these days (Carolinas, etc)

Thanks for any tips or thoughts!

Try TPC Sawgrass and play a round there. Beats looking at empty cases any day.

I'd just get frustrated and end up spending my watch money at the clubhouse - I'm the worst golfer who ever attempted the game!

They do have a hell of a pro shop there. Sitting at the bar sipping a bourbon is special too as you contemplate who else may have sat in that same seat.

Just visited the Underwood’s location in Ponte Vedre, after I had played TPC Sawgrass.
Typical selection(slim to none), though they were very pleasant. Offered to steam clean my watch, as I wear it playing.
They are hoping for a return to pre-covid inventory levels like al of us.

Underwood's is the standard in Jax
A1 had plenty of used versions when I was last there-at least 8 years ago before I moved. I know people who bought from A1 and were satisfied.

Another Underwood’s recommendation-they had some higher end pieces when I was there in September 2020. I was at a restaurant down there this March and had a conversation with an employee after he noticed my watch and he lamented about the lack of inventory, however.
