    Is there any such store here? Do regular stores take trade ins? What has been people's experiences?

    Dawson Jewellers have a selection of used watches in their window.

    Do a search for Burlington Arcade in London. There's nothing approaching this in Dublin.

    Dawson Jewellers, Corrs Jewellers in Powerscourt are the only ones I'm familiar with. Also a place called Gray's, but it's mainly overpriced ladies watches in there. I reckon there's a serious gap in the market here, and I'm a little suprised that the likes of Paul Sheeran or Weir's haven't moved into this area.

    There's probably nothing approaching their prices either...

    That's a fair comment. I'm not defending their prices but there us a very big selection if very high quality used watches on sale in a very small area. Being off New Bobd St isn't going to help either.

    If you find yourself in Paris, have a walk along Rue St. Honore and place Vendome - it makes Bond St. look like Grafton St.; I've never seen such a concentration of boutiques and high-end shops. If you're looking for a used Richard Mille for 200k, you won't do better...
