Rolex has over 300 ADs in Hong Kong.
They sell about twice as many Rolex in HK as the entire US.
What's to 'get into' ?

And, I don't think you friend got it right.

I was in HK last month for the 7s. I was blown away by the presence of watch boutiques & I live in Geneva!
HK is now one big luxury show room for the mainland Chinese. Go to Elements mall in the IFC--you will be blown away.
I vote you wear the Panerai. Rolex watches (many fake) are everywhere. I wore my SS Daytona & I kept wondering if people thought I had picked it up in the market.....

Have a great time in HK. It's a great place.

Stand out a little more with Panerai.

[How]

The two most common watch brands in HK: Rolex, & Casio G-Shock.

Based on observation!

[Atomant]

II c

[How]

None of the above.

Buy a DSSD on your first day in HK and sport that around instead.

[Rallyboat]

Has to be the GMT11c

[drockadam]

Gmt :)

Happy watch hunting in HK, enjoy!

Man im drooling. Went to kens watch. They have the fidd almost picked up the zenith 10th. But cant right now. And might have difficulty down the line. They also have comex sub, pre a panerai, a limited 20 pc ap but of course all not for sale just appreciate. This is the store to buy not those non wis dealers

[z32turbo]

GMTIIC gets my vote b/c its a great travel watch.

Where is the best place in the world to buy a Rolex, I currently live in London and the current price of the model 116231 is £6650?

Wearing an inexpensive timepiece in HK gives you freedom and anonymity. No penniless recent immigrant will be tempted to chop your arm off for a Casio. Save the recognizable brand-name watch for wear in the high-end places. HK is not the wild west, but just like NYC, it's easy to wander into a sketchy area if you are not a local.

Sorry, but its absolutely luidcrous to compare Hong Kong to New York.
HK is one of the safest large cities in the world.
I wear my Rolex everywhere - comfortably.

Here's a few stats New York 2010 (Hong Kong 2011)

Population - 19,378,102 (7,100,000) NY almost 3X HK
Violent crime - 75,977 (13,100)
Murders - 866 (17)
Rape - 2,771 (91)
Robbery - 28,473 (731 - Robberies with guns 0)
Agg. assault - 43,867 (6,900)
Theft/larceny - 290,755 (35,026)
Vehicle theft - 20,433 (869)

Hong kong is a small place it's very safe. Even in subway. Great city.

Nope, most Chinese would think whatever cost more is better.
