    I will be heading to Israel on vacation next week. Will have several days down time in Tel Aviv.

    Anyone know of any decent vintage watch stores there? It's a big city and we'll be downtown most of the time. Not expecting much.

    One never knows unless one asks someone who does.

    TIA,

    When I was hunting for IWCs, I noticed a great number of vintage watches on eBay coming from Israel...I'd say like any other big cities, there will be one or more spots to check out. Let us know what you find! Safe travels!

    Was there for a week earlier this year and unfortunately didn't come across any awesome vintage shops. The city itself is amazing though, so enjoy!

    Skip Tel Aviv proper and go to Jaffa. And check out Dr Shakshukah (or maybe it was Mr Shakshukah)

    Just reviving this thread as I'll stay in Tel Aviv in a week for few days training at my company's local headquarter.
    Hotel is in Tel Aviv but training will happen in Netanya so I will probably have only the last afternoon free in town.
    Apparently all advices have happened in PM so I take the oath to keep everything secret as per brotherhood code
