Rolex in Ireland

The wife and I are planning a trip to Ireland in June, spending at least three days in Dublin and then on to Donegal for a week. Are there any recommended places to do some Rolex shopping? I doubt I will be making a purchase, just looking and comparing for the fun of it.

And.....any worries about us wearing our Rolexes there? I've not been to Ireland but would expect to be safer there than most USA cities.

Ireland is beautiful and safe, full of great people, some of my better friends included ... Just watch out for drunken foolishness and use common sense like any other place.

Funny!

3 Rolex ADs in Ireland.
Hartmann's in Galway, Keane's in Limrick and Weir's in Grafton St Dublin. All Worth a trip. The first two are rather small but intimate, the latter been one of the largest in the country.
I tend to stay away from the SH dealers as their prices seem to be way out IMO.

Like anywhere in the would be careful and you will be fine.

Ireland is truly beautiful but then again I am bias!

Any further or Particular info you need Shoot me a PM and I ll try Help.

Enjoy your trip.

Regards.

Dublin is safe, use common sense. Hope the weather stays dry for you.
Will be visiting again on the 17th May for a concert, but I doubt I will have the time to visit the ADs.

Almost time for our trip...leaving 6/4 and will both be wearing our Rolexes with no worries. Pics to follow shortly after our return and I'm hoping to find time to Rolex shop in Dublin. Thanks to your tips I'll be looking for Weirs and for Dawson Jewelers.

Hope you have a good time. Been there twice but mostly on the west coast. Dublin does have pick pockets. Keep your valuables close-- no open purses, etc.
