Hi all
Looking for recommendations for places that would have vintage rolex watches for sale to view in Dublin City.
Thanks

I shine the "Wibbs Signal" into the night sky.

TBH I don't know. Down the years of collecting old watches I rarely looked locally. Not in shops anyway(a few general auctions way back in the late 80's/early 90's). I found that the general rule was Irish prices were very overcooked. Gun to my head? I'd look at the bigger jewellers clustered around Grafton Street. Weir as an example.

Had a bit of a gander at Jimmii's link above. Care as always is needed with vintage watches. Good selection for local, but as an example in the Longines section here https://www.brereton.ie/watches-c12/longines-c120 Every one of them is a redial and not original(this reduces the value considerably. Or should). I'm suspicious of a couple of the older Rolex too.

O'Reillys Auction house can have value sometimes. A family friend recently dropped €10k on a diamond tennis bracelet there that was valued for €20k at another jewelers.

I looked into buying a Rolex. They aren't that cheap to maintain, so that is a factor to take into consideration
