That’s a wet dream of a collection right there

rambo99 · 14 November 2018, 03:08 AM

every AD should look like this.

bradyb · 14 November 2018, 03:13 AM

I've rarely found any bargains in HK but always have a great time hunting and window-shopping.

elitejae · 14 November 2018, 03:52 AM

Wow, thanks for sharing

I wonder what things would be like if in an alternate universe every AD was like this. For example, I have my eye on a Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer ref. 329.32.44.51.01.001. It really speaks to me but there are 3 reasons that I'm on the fence. It reminds me of my Ultraman, I take a 25% hit as soon as I walk out the door, and it's readily available so I can think about it at my leisure. If the supply and demand was the same for Omega, and my OB called me to say they had one I would probably trip over myself trying to get down there.
I've never flipped a watch so resale isn't the driving force behind my purchases, but it's an interesting dynamic and psychological affect that the current Rolex market has on buyers. For example, if my AD called me today and told me, "I know you're waiting for a CHNR, but I just got this really nice LV and it's yours if you want it", I would at the very least go down to look at it. I wouldn't buy it, but it would be very tempting.

Are those real??? or just dreaming...

Always neat to see pics from HK watch dealers. Thanks!

Al1969 · 14 November 2018, 06:59 AM

So much for scarcity. Thanks for sharing the pics.

bobabreath · 14 November 2018, 07:01 AM

Must be a grey dealer with all that inventory.

vernplum · 14 November 2018, 07:50 AM

Where exactly in Hk is this?

Mik8yu · 14 November 2018, 08:57 AM

It is grey dealer asking for silly prices

Except Rolex, ap and PP, almost all other major brands ADs look like this, how many buyers?

BTW, many rolex ADs have massive TT DJs and PM models as well :-)

AJM914 · 14 November 2018, 09:58 AM

Nice pics!

Rilz · 14 November 2018, 10:00 AM

Wow! I agree every AD should look like this.

Tease

ROLEXster · 14 November 2018, 11:24 AM

I was in HK a few months back.
Same thing I experienced.
ADs empty cases ... Greys full of hard to get models

79280_116520 · 14 November 2018, 11:26 AM

Ah yes....Hong Kong...the candy store of watch collectors everywhere

Paul7 · 14 November 2018, 01:47 PM

That explains the shortages. :)

hnn17 · 14 November 2018, 06:49 PM

I just thought of a Rolex vending machine, put your money/card in, press your selection and the watch falls down to you. No tries-ons and no returns though.

aleeboy · 14 November 2018, 07:12 PM

Looks like a pretty standard mid-sized grey Hong Kong grey dealers store front.

Hong Kong is at the heart of the syndicated and artificial supply glut. They know how to do business. No where in the world does treat them mean to keep them keen apply more than in Hong Kong.

Noah860 · 14 November 2018, 08:21 PM

Wow...or should I say 哇哇哇!

WatchLurv · 14 November 2018, 10:21 PM

263,000 HKD for a Smurf...What the...!

Below US MSRP. HK$7.8 to US$1. $33.7k vs $36.8k MSRP. Not outrageous compared to their other prices I am sure.

foo4rolex · 15 November 2018, 12:54 AM

According to a solid source, most of the grey market watches in HK are coming from the US.

CoveWatch · 15 November 2018, 08:35 AM

Wowee that’s a lot of watches! Very nice to see that at least they’re somewhere out there

mchu004 · 15 November 2018, 09:53 AM

I still remember March 2017. I had stopped in Mong Kok to check out the 116610LV for my friend and was quoted an equivalent of $8,500USD. Oh, how times have changed..

vernplum · 15 November 2018, 10:57 AM

Anyone successfully haggled with these guys?
