    I was in Belfast last week and saw some nice vintage watches in the window of McNeilly’s, 7 Lombard St (v central)
    Another locally owned watch shop that gets good reviews is Lunn’s in the Queens Arcade (just off Royal Avenue)

    Other cool things to do: have an Ulster Fry (breakfast), a Guinness in the Crown, a walk along Helen’s Bay (Belfast loughshore), a morning/afternoon in the Linenhall library (partic if interested in family history)
    Oh, and the best fish & chips I’ve ever eaten at the Dirty Duck, Holywood (seriously, I lived north of Belfast and used to make the trip regularly)

    Enjoy the craic!
    It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

    Congratulations. Looks a good size on you.

    Multiple straps (I wonder if any are "small"?)
    Cropped seller pix.

    Sadly, it looks as if it will arrive the day after I leave town for 2 weeks in Belfast, with
    side trips to the ancestral village of Gilford (you get 10 points if you know where *that* is).

    I think the Top Gear boys went there or mentioned Gilford once. I've definitely heard of it. I assume it's in Ireland.


    (Good looking watch, by the way. Strange; I associate you so heavily with the pocket variety, I had forgotten you were also into wristwatches.)
