Hi from Hong Kong
Hey everyone
Well I'm an Aussie guy living in Hong Kong and I've always liked watches but I think it's living over here for 4 years that's really got me hooked! There's just so many watch shops and so many people into nice watches over here it's virtually impossible not to be seduced! I just bought the new GMT Master II with ceramic bezel in SS and I think it's the most beautiful, perfect watch I've ever owned (or seen!). But that's just me! Thanks for the great forum. |

Welcome to TRF. I've been to HKG several times between 1994 to 1998 whilst my older daughter was a Flight Attendant for Cathay Pacific. The wifey and I paid just 10% of the return fare. Loved the place. Even bought a TT Black Sub from Zurich Watch Co. on Nathan Road way back in '94. What a vibrant city!!

I was in Hong Kong in 1976. I wish I knew then what I know now. We were there so long that everything we bought back was duty free. I should have bought a Rolex then. I sure looked at them but, at age 19, didn't realize what this watch would mean to me some day.

Hi, and welcome James. You chose a cracker of a watch
 I bet your already planning your next ROLEX This Forum is so good, it should be mandatory for all ROLEX Employees and Dealers to be a member, and their Bosses should have regular 'Thread Topic Discissions' on a weekly basis    Rob.

I think the sub date is now about $HK 42,000, less about 10%. I could be wrong but I think that's about right.. How does that compare to Singapore? Best, James |
