Second Hand stores in NYC

Hi, this is my first post to the forum. I´m going to NY in a couple of weeks and would like to bring with me a non date 14016 sub home. Are there any second hand shops you would recommend?

Thanks

You'll do better looking here in the "For Sale" section of the forum. Look for the trusted sellers in the Who's who section. You will see those who get the best feedback. Buy the seller NOT the watch.

I would not recommend buying used Rolex in NYC. Unless you have a trained eye, the downside risk is too great.

I agree with everyone else. Check out the for sale section and search for 14016! You'll be sure to find the right watch from the right seller with a little patience.

That said, Aaron Faber is one of the most impressive pre-owned watch stores I've ever seen. They have a little bit of everything and more. The prices are high and it's unlikely I'd actually ever buy anything from them but the staff is great and there's endless eye candy. I would definitely make the trip.

666 5th Ave

Have a great trip!

Another vote for finding it on TRF.

And I definitely agree with Chadri about Aaron Faber. Amazing watches to look at. They have everything there. I even saw a NOS 1655 there a couple of years ago.
