buying Rolex/Cartier/Gucci in NYC

[pica]

My girlfriend and I are heading to the big apple this weekend and she's looking to buy either a Rolex or Cartier watch for herself. Any suggestion on reputable stores with good selection? She's also looking for a Gucci bag, where else sells it besides the official stores? thanks

Regardless of whether or not it was predictable, it was a fair answer. You can get all those brands there and for astronomically cheap.......albeit they are fake as shit, but hey, I don't mind......

i guess you are right, he never specified he wanted the real deal, and he was looking for alternates to the real store.

Frommer's Review

The snazzy three-floor emporium on E. 57th Street is the world's largest watch store, carrying more than 90 brands and 8,000 different styles. The mind-boggling selection runs the gamut from Swatch to Rolex; Swiss Army knives, too.

Tourneau isn't the best place per se...and they don't really offer discounts.

You might want to go on the Rolex/Cartier sites and look at who the certified dealers are - they'll be more willing to cut you a deal.

^ in LA there seems to be a couple places that will do that also
