Hong Kong Questions

Planning a trip to HK and was wondering what the odds of finding a reasonably priced (i.e. low gray premium) panda or Pepsi are? Everything I have been reading online indicates that the watch market there is in the doldrums but online prices of gray dealers still seem quite high.

Any recommendations of dealers to potentially visit to avoid being scammed? I will be in the Central area most probably.

Any other pointers most welcome!

Thanks much folks!

Not sure how much you mean by a low grey premium but if you’re looking for something new, I don’t think you’ll have much chance.

Anything you want can be found in Hong Kong. I’m not sure what you mean with the low grey premium? Are you looking for one that’s like new and basically untouched?

Re

The steel Daytona’s seem to have a 100% premium, which I’m not too keen on paying.. might as well go PM on OF at these prices. So I was wondering if prices in HK have actually dropped where the premium on the panda steel Daytona charged by the grey dealers is a little more palatable?

There will be no significant difference in grey market prices in Hong Kong compared to other regions. You’ll have plenty to choose from though

Japan is currently 20-25% higher than Singapore for Rolex GMTs and Daytonas. HK should be close to SG, if not better with a larger market.

Japan.

116500 panda with white card dropped as low as $25k with vat refund.

That’s the best I have seen last couple months.

Hkg is great for grey market, try Union Classic Watch in Tst, I personally buy from them for years now, booth Central and Tsim Sha Tsui areas have 10-12 grey watxh shops with full stock it's pretty insane
Good luck hunting!
