Rolex in Hong Kong

[2careless]

We were in HK for a short holiday last week.
Didn't buy anything since I think it's still cheaper to buy in Australia due to our bad exchange rates.
However, I found that the ADs are quite willing to discount on all models, e.g. SS GMT2c list price HK$51600, 5% discount first off the bat, without me asking (non sports models are 8% off right away). I suppose it's easily possible to shop around for better discounts.
Saw too many Rolex ADs on the streets, most have the new blue ceramic sub as well as the DD2. I didn't see any DSSD though.
We went to Macau for a night and the Rolex bling there are enormous. Saw GMT Ice, leopard daytona, etc etc too - it's a casino city so you gotta expect bling.
Sorry, no pictures allowed - I nearly got kicked out of Wynn Macau when I took my camera out at the AD windows there - even I was a hotel guest - they have a security guard at every corridor...

I will be in HK this coming saturaday. Initially, planned to get gmt ii there but ended up getting here in Singapore last Thursday as I found it was bit cheaper since I was able to claim gst portion. Best price I was quoted from a shop was HK$50000 for it over the phone. Anyway, it is a great watch and enjoy wearing it!

Rolex store at Ocean Terminal mall, I think Rolex store at IFC mall Central also got it, Rolex at Wynn Macau definitely got the new gold sub. The new blue looks a bit greyish, unlike the normal bluesy.
It was wonderful time, 7 days - 14 big meals - e.g. Luk Yu, Yung Kee, Fuk Lam Moon, Jimmy's Kitchen, Jockey Club, Macau's Shanghai 456, afternoon tea at Peninsula etc etc

Yup. Checked the GMT2c is $9600 here in Melbourne. At $4.7 to 1 AUD, it's HKD$45k approx The HK AD gave me 5% discount for $49k HKD so still nearly A$800 cheaper to buy here in Melbourne and without the risk of paying GST when I wear it back!

In comparison to the above quoted prices ,I got mine couple of weeks ago from my AD in Toronto for $9012 AUD , HKD44000 GST and PST inclusive !

"Luk Yu, Yung Kee, Fuk Lam Moon" they all are the very good chinese restaurants in the town.
