The Breguet boutique on Rodeo Drive is my must stop shop whenever I visit LA, then again it probably has something to do with the fact that Breguet is my favorite brand and I buy from them regularly.

If you want good deals Feldmar has a nice selection and discounts without hesitation.

You can also stop by the FP Journe boutique on Sunset Blvd, super friendly couple (one of whom is FP Journe's brother) work there, and lots of wrist candy to check out.

If you're looking into Rolex, AP, and PP, expect what you would anywhere else regarding availability.

Your one stop shop for bling is.... Peter Marco. Westime is good too.

Walk the length of Rodeo Drive.
Rolex, PP, VC, Breguet, IWC, Grand Seiko and the list goes on. And don't miss Westime.

Saw producer Michael on YouTube buying list of high end watches and rolexes from a small watch boutique called Essential Watches. Wiltshire blvd.

Westime on Sunset is a watch candy store but no Rolex if that’s what you’re looking for. Wanna Buy a Watch on Melrose is a candy store for vintage, very cool little shop.
All of the major brands have Boutiques in Beverly Hills, mostly on Rodeo Drive.

Off topic, but if staying in Hollywood and have time to kill, get on up to the Griffith observatory and enjoy the view of LA and all it has to offer. Amazing place.

If you are in Century City, in the mall there is a Rolex boutique, run by Geary's, an AD you will also find in Beverly Hills. Geary's also runs the Rolex boutique in Beverly Hills.

The Century City mall is a good spot...lots of shops, restaurants, and it's recently been redone. If you like Breitling, there's a boutique there as well. Also various high end shops, such as Tiffany. And, the ever popular Tourneau, which carried Rolex until the boutique moved in.

Others have suggested Rodeo Drive...good call, easy area to walk around in and plenty of boutiques from various brands.

A great LA watch store is Feldmar's, on Pico Boulevard, not too far from Century City, towards West Hollywood. I think they may be by appointment only, still, but they carry a wide range of brands, including Tudor. They are not a Rolex AD, but likely have second hand Rolex models. Check out their website for details, if interested.

If you're an Omega fan, the Omega boutique is in the Beverly Center mall, which is Beverly Hills adjacent.

Enjoy your visit...

Are you looking to purchase an empty case ? Lol

Second (third) recommendation for Westime. Got referred to a salesman at their old west side location when I got my IWC in ‘08, got a good deal, then sent my dad there for an IWC and two friends for Omegas, all of whom were well taken care of. If/when I go for a GP Laueato he’ll be my first call (assuming he’s still there).

[Haveapair]

That guy on producer michael

Checkout Stein Diamonds DTLA, they always have a surreal selection. Plenty of pre-owned AP, Pateks and Rolex. Talk to joseph. This was a small part of the selection they had on wrist/tray

[Shazbot302]

If you drive south 45 min to South Coast Plaza in Orange County you’ll find ADs for Rolex, Omega, JLC, VC, IWC, Panerai and Lange.

And, typically, on any given day, there will be roughly a 55min window during which that drive actually takes 45min :D.

I second the Griffith Observatory recommendation and hike to the Hollywood sign. Amazing views.

[tigerlam92]

I also second FP Journe. Love going there and seeing the watch in person and talking to the nice staffs including FP's brother. Will not feel like sales people more like watch enthusiast.

That FP Journe boutique was the best experience I've had (maybe with the PP Geneva Salon tour years ago).
Like you said, just enthusiast vibe, not sales. Great stop for any watch geek.

The watch spotting is incredible at the Century City Mall.
