HK is the best place on earth for watch shopping !
Ok, granted that Geneva is not bad either... my statement is purposely provocative.
The main issue while in HK is to remain strong and resist the temptations. I love pushing myself close to my limit there.
Ahhh.... HongKong 2015 (HKοΌ)
I went to Hong Kong 6 years ago.γAnd I regret not buying anything ...
Agreed
Got my Nautilus as first Patek Philippe watch, that was in the summer of 2016. Probably the very last moment for that.
Nobody is able to predict -- or if they do, then they owe everybody else an explanation as to why they didn't became billionaires just a few years ago...by buying the SS Pateks and Rolexes available at every AD! ;-))
Seriously, even though it's probably become physiological given the current state of affairs, it remains quite sad that so much speculation -- as well as speculators -- are surrounding this beautiful hobby. That's why we try to offer, here on WPS, a prett...
well said, and agree 100% Let others chase the overpriced steel sports watches, it leaves the true classics unloved and a bit undervalued.
I've taken this opportunity lately to buy a few pieces that strike a chord with me, but certainly aren't the most popular on the market. I think we'll all look back on this in a few years as Tulip mania with the steel sports craze, and it will also have t...
Of course I've seen worse shared here and elsewhere on the Internet. Call me naive but
I probably woulnd't even want to enter a shop where watches are treated with apparent disdain or, to put it mildly, nonchalance. Cheers Marc
There are 50 PP AD/Boutiques in a couple mile radius in HK.
Boutiques across the street from each other like Starbucks. The money in HK is simply not comparable to NY or London for some reason. Iβve been to dozens of second hand watch shops like that in HK, all legit box and papers. Itβs crazy π.
Only 7 to be accurate, but you're certainly correct that HK is one of the world's watch capitals, and the second-hand shops are indeed many more.
If I have to guess, the density of Patek ADs in HK is (unsurprisingly) second only to Singapore, which has as many as 10 ADs. Think on the other hand of France, which since last year has *zero* ADs and only one Salon (i.e., a Patek-owned retailer) in the ...
Only 7 what?
ADβs, Boutiques, or both? I donβt really bother distinguishing the two but on Queens road in central there are 4 PP shops/AD/Boutiques within a 100 meters.

Damn I really miss going to hk.
Canβt wait for this pandemic to end so that we can go there again just like the old days. This place is a paradise for watches
Iβm very familiar with those windows.
People think 47th in NYC has some loaded watch windows, but then you go there (and several other similar shops) and you see tens of millions of dollars (US not HK) of watches pilled on top of each other window after window. Everything you could think of, ...
I missed visiting Hong Kong
There are so many watch stores everywhere, no doubt the greatest density of ADs anywhere in the world. It seems that the ADs in Hong Kong offer the market prices for the watches. For not so popular brands/models, there could be a major discount. For hot R...
