Finally joined the club

I'm in Hong Kong this week on holiday and have been going shop to shop looking at vintage and new submariners. Finally decided that my first rolex should be a brand new Sub C and took the plunge. I tried about 10 stores but none would budge from a 5% discount. With no sales tax and them taking Amex it was actually a pretty good and easy deal. I'm a happy guy, just wanted to share!
