bought my first automatic watch.

an Oris. almost bought victorinox though.

Question to the pros....at the bottom of the clock face, it says "26 jewels". What does that mean?

congrats ! not a pro, but jewels in watches refers to the bearings for the movements usually made of spphire or other semi precious stones to improve the accuracy and withstand wear and reduce friction.

The Hour Glass at Pavillion is ok, friendly and helpful. I am quite sure they have a rolex display as well. One good thing is, no surcharge when you pay using credit card, even Amex.
