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.

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).

You’ve had your eye on that one forever—nice to see you finally pull the trigger!

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.)

Don’t put me on the spot!
I didn’t look yesterday.
