Any decent pre owned shops in Dublin or Cork that you guys know of?
Weirs in Dublin & Keanes in Cork are similar fashion to UK ADs. Both have pre owned.Originally Posted by Sweepinghand
Theres another couple around Dublin but prices are way higher (+50%) what you'd see on C24.
Just to be specific here, I visited Dawson Jewelers in Dublin about 2 years ago and they wanted more for a 3 year old IWC Mark Series (no box or papers) than the new ticket price on the same model. Not sure what they were playing at there.

Dawson jewellers and a few jewellers in the powerscourt shopping centre upstairs
Both off Grafton Street, just don't expect any value
Looked at a few vintage watches in Talbot St which would be a rough art of town, prices are off the scale i.e Bulova 32mm auto for 400 euros. Stick with SC.
Welcome to Ireland. We take the £ price, put a € in front and then double it.
I came very near to buying a Bulova chrono with what I believe was Valjoux 7733/74 in it just over a year ago for €495; they're not always completely off the mark. Always some interesting "characters" in the area; mostly hanging around the corner of North Earl St/Marlborough St/Talbot St. On the subject of pubs I had always avoided the area but Briody's and the Confession Box are two little gems (and of course McClery's in Amiens St but that's a little more famous).
There are also some secondhand seller in Johnson's Court (leading from Grafton St to the Powerscourt Townhouse) but you can expect to laugh in derision at the prices.
Edit: I always add this link from a member here when discussing Dawson's Jewellers. http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.ph...-TWO-now-added

Very true.
Stick to SC.
I'd suggest checking out The Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, the second floor has a few vintage watch and jewellery shops. I'm quite fond of Corrs Jewellers and I'd also check out Kish Watches. It's located a short walk from Grafton Street, so nice and central, and occasionally have some interesting pieces.
