Mike Wood shares highlights from the inaugural Asia Vintage Rolex Passion Meeting in Hong Kong, an event meticulously organized by PhilippS. This post captures the vibrant spirit of the gathering, showcasing a remarkable collection of vintage Rolex watches and the camaraderie among collectors from around the globe.
Just back from a great meeting with some real passionate watch friends kindly organised and arranged by PhilippS.
Philipp put a huge amount of effort and enthusiam into the event, and his two part photographic report really captures the spirit of this first "Passion" event in Hong Kong...
Read about it here:
On my last day
here in HK I wanted to pamper you already on some impressions of the
first Asia vintage Rolex Passion Meeting I organized at The Upperhouse
Hotel at Pacific Place in Hong Kong. I've had a wonderful time with you
guys & girls during the last 2 weeks I stayed in this amazing city
that never sleeps. So many great friends from all over Asia but also
from Europe, US, Australia and South America ( 32 hours traveling time! )
did their effort to come and join us, share their important vintage
Rolex, talk passion but most importantly, have big time fun together.
Some already arrived earlier to HK before the meeting and every night it
was dinner & party time all together, many thanks my great friends,
for me personally it was exhausting but i'm extremely happy with the
outcome as you all where very enthusiastic about the event. A great
start to show Asia the importance of vintage Rolex!
Many thanks to you all!! Soon i'll Part II online for you all who missed it.

I continue to enjoy re-reading Philipp's report and enjoying the photographs (helps remind my travel-weary head of the great time I had in Hong Kong!). Hopefully, this should be the link to Pt. II of Philipp's photographs... enjoy! http://rolexpassionreport.com/6972/part-ii-of-first-passion-meeting-hong-kong-vintage-a-rolex-collectors-gtg-29-may-2012 MW
