·Hi Guys!
I finally made it to Grand Central Watch!
Thanks @OneTwo!!
It took some time to find, but worth the effort.
They had a nice storefront, with some nice watches, but no shop/showroom.
Only a counter were you could speak with the staff.
Really friendly people, and they took out a Speedy for me to ”play” with!
This one was a bit too new for me, they were not sure about the reference (they said 145022),
but I think it should be a 3590.50?
I didn't do any studies since this watch wasn't on my list,
and the price was HEAVY, 6750 $ plus tax.
But always FUN!
Cheers!

·Just saw this thread, Hans. If you're still there, try to do the Intrepid.
And agree, MOMA is awesome.

·So I'm going to NYC in January for my birthday! I used to live there, but years ago / before my watch obsession 😂
@hansaboy and others: which shops would you ultimately recommend for the biggest/best selections of pre-owned/vintage?

If I remember correctly, the Diamond District had tons and tons of watch stores.
But to be honest, you will not find any amazing deals there, but they have everything, and fun to look at!

·Check out Yan's Antique Jewelry Inc. (35 Pell St)in Chinatown. They have a pretty decent selection of vintage watches the last time I was there. Not cheap though so I didn't buy anything.
