My PO in China

Took the PO with me on a recent trip to China. Here's a couple of shots at the airport just before coming home. Sorry for the photo quality - unfortunately it's me, not the camera.

To be honest with you, I think rolex is indeed the market leader in China. Other high end watch brands such as AP and VC also have growing market share these years. Omega is more affordable and probably that's why there are more boutiques there. Well, it's just my personal opinion.

Hope you had a great trip! Any chance for us to see more pictures of it? Perhaps inside that lovely boutique!

A few more pics

Sorry I didn't get pictures from inside any of the shops - my host was not at all into watches. Rolex clearly big in China as is Omega and surprisingly I saw a TON of Tissot adverts.

I was in Shanghai, Suzhou, Qingdao - only got to see sites in Shanghai though. The street where these pics were taken is close to the bund - kind of a Chinese "Times Square".

Thanks Kevin - now that you say it, I recognize the name. You're right it was Nanjing Walking Street. Would be a very cool place to have an office I must admit.

I've enjoyed every trip I've ever made to China - some of the food is not to my liking, but I have always found something to eat that I like and the hospitality is outstanding.
