looks like HK might be a very fun place to visit. I'll be heading there in June the next time my fiance is out there for work

Great trip and nice picture. Where did you see all those watches? in one shop? Name of the shop and city? I was in HK on Feb but only stopped by Chow Dai Fook & Chow Sang Sang they are only...I will check it out when I back to HK next time.

Cheers!

Most of those pics are Union Watch in Champagne Court on Kimberly Road. The Daytonas were at Pak Lee in TST. Around each of those areas there are a number of vintage watch dealers. I didn't take any pics at the bottom level of Holiday Inn in TST but there were some amazing pieces there as well. Chow Tai Food and Chow Sang Sang only focus on new pieces and if those are what you are looking for just visit Nathan Road in TST....it's not just Rolex heaven but watch heaven!! Every single specialty brand is located there from PP Boutiques, AP, Vacheron, Richard Mille, Roger Dubuis, Rolex, BP, etc....prices are high though especially since its the shopping destination for mainlanders. You have to visit the Hermes, LV, Gucci, Dior stores as well for the ladies....there are insane selections there. I sat down with a sales rep at the Louis Vuitton store and he showed me a watch case (forgot to take pics) for 8 watches. Stunning case but price was $10k USD!!! You can special order anything as well if you are really looking for something special.

Oh believe me...I had my share of food over there, especially seafood!! I think I must have gained quite e few pounds. I haven't weighed myself probably b/c I'm kind of scared to do so

psv · 17 April 2012, 08:10 AM

First of all, big congrats on the engagement! Best decision any man ever made!

Great photos.

Again, I'm reminded how many vintage Rolex there are out there. It is a bit like diamonds, they aren't really as rare and valuable as the dealers and owners want them to be...

ManUtd · 17 April 2012, 08:17 AM

I enjoyed looking at your pics, thanks for sharing. Yeah HK looks like Rolex heaven. I gotta check out the shops you mentioned the next time I'm there. Last but not definitely not least, congratulations on the engagement.

FeelingTheBlues · 17 April 2012, 08:31 AM

Fabulous pictures mate! That's a big load of watches!

Jannal · 17 April 2012, 08:45 AM

Did you buy a Rolex?

No unfortunately. I saw a ton of pieces but many were priced very high.
