I have an upcoming trip to NY in March / April and I would like to know if anyone can offer recommend places in NY to purchase a pre-owned authentic 16710 GMT with a possible trade in on an Omega Orbis.



I am flying in from outside of the US and staying at a hotel for only a few days, so unfortunately online retailers such as DavidSw are not really a viable option. Has anyone heard of or can recommend http://www.elementintime.com/?

Cheers

You might be able to set up a meeting with an online seller, many are willing to meet in person in a safe location to show watches you're interested in. You could also try http://www.timetitans.com/ but ask ahead about the 16710.

The issue here in New York is that there aren't many brick-and-mortar vintage watch shops, as rent is really expensive here.

Thx @cicindela and @abrod520 for the recommendations

Hi George @Kringkily: do you think you can source a 16710 GMT Coke Bezel in NY?

I am looking to trade in an Orbis Deville Hour Vision (Oct 2013, excellent condition, purchased direct from my local Omega Boutique with box and papers) + Cash US$ for a Rolex GMT II 16710 Coke Bezel with no holes case circa +2003.

Model 2006 or 2007 would be wonderful for personal reasons (preferred but not a critical requirement)
Calibre 3185 or 3186 (preferred but not critical).
Papers and authenticity required, box not necessary.

Cheers!

Would reach him through PM as well...I got a couple of big ticket items from George (@Kringkily ) face to face here in NYC and I certainly recommend him.

Got my Speedy from him and he got me exactly what I was looking for at the exact price point. Super professional and communication was great. When my budget is ready for a Seamaster 300 Co ax, he'll be my man!

Edit: Have your funds ready when you talk to him. He found what I was looking for in a day or two. I had incorrectly assumed it would take a couple weeks........
