Pocket Watch

Officer Giggles

I would like to get a good quality pocket watch as a present to myself for my upcoming wedding. Could someone point me in the direction of somewhere in Dublin I could go look at a selection and get good advice? I know nothing about watches, is there any sites you would recommend looking to give me more info.

Thanks

I forgot to say I like the idea of a mechanical full hunter style pocket watch if this helps anyone to give a suggestion. Budget is about €200.

I'm in Dublin so Limerick is no good to me this weekend unfortunately. Has that fella Dave got a shop in Clontard?

Though I do love their Celtic Tiger appraisals on some of the watches. Times have changed lads. Then again, for your average auction goer maybe not?

I love the Rolex Pepsi they have

That has a guide of 3-3.5K if I remember correctly - that sounds like a pretty good price?
