NYC watch shop recommendations
Hi all. Headed to NYC for work next week and then have a couple of days off to visit friends and run errands before heading back home and was hoping to see some watches. I'm most interested in seeing some Seiko's in person (not Grand Seiko, don't have the dough), especially pre-owned Seiko's old and new. Any recommendations on places to go?
I'll be staying in mid-town Manhattan.
Thanks in advance!

Midlife crisis is hitting me in the watch face. Wife and daughter have zero interest in watches so here I am. Crisis started with a cheap HMT watch from eBay, then a spin of the dreaded “wheel” got me...

So many watches
I’d say do the timepiece tour- start at grand seiko on Madison Av & 53rd, then go next door to Rolex & buccherer/torneau, then walk across the street to the bremont boutique, then go block up to the IWC boutique then cross over to 5th Ave and down to 52nd st to Cartier, then walk up 5th av & you’ll pass Omega, Tissot, Wempe jewelers, up to Bulgari at 5th & 57th then east on 57th to Bucherer/Torneau main store, then next door to Vacheron Constantin, across the street to AP, then Breitling. If you make an appointment, you can stop into the new Watchbox showroom across from breitling - whew! While here see all you can, enjoy. Most brand boutiques are really hospitable & willing to let you tr anything you fancy. You’ll also have a nice buzz on from a few drinks offered. Have fun.
Oops I left out Hublot next to Louis Vuitton also at 5th & 57th
Diamond district on 47th between 5th and 6th. The entire block is jewelry and it's relatively close to where you're staying. If you've seen Uncut Gems or Marathon Man you'll know what it's like (with slightly less stress.)
Oh, I forgot to mention. I'm not sure who you get a hold of to get in to see it, but Bulova has a great museum of all of their watches at the Bulova headquarters at the Empire State Building. It's not Seiko, but there's some really cool stuff there. I've never been in person, but I have watched several videos about it. https://mybulova.com/videos/13073
