I guess so. Alex and his shop are legit, anyway.

So, he won't be selling any fakes etc., never heard of Alex Pig.

Old Expat Beast · 4 May 2015, 01:37 PM

No he won't be selling fakes, he's well known in HK, and worldwide. Try Google.

I purchased a steel DJ from him a couple of years ago. Though I visited him at his shop at quarry bay to purchase it. I had no problems with my purchase

I don't see any awesome bargains there.
But yeah, the pieces are quite nice.

shows what I know...

I guess I just expected higher prices on the really old stuff. The 1930-40's watches didn't appear too high, Certainly not unobtainable if someone was interested in such things.

I'm no expert either, but there's a 2007 Pepsi GMT for $12,000 which IMO is too much money for that model.
Then again, I have no idea.

Yes, that price is a joke....it's not even a 3186 (not that it would justify the price). It's just NOS.

I sold him some rare parts not long ago, transaction was smooth as silk.

I hope he negotiates... LOL. Some prices are a bit obscene.

Leojmcca · 7 May 2015, 02:37 PM

I'm in the middle of a deal with him right now! So far so good, really quick to respond. I'll tell you how it ends up in a few days.

Bear in mind it's illegal to import a Rolex into the USA by mail. I believe he has ways around this, but you might want to discuss that with him sooner rather than later.

Had no idea... Ooops. A customs thing? So is this why maybe, some prices are tad hiked up?

No, his prices are the same whoever, wherever he is selling to. Import restriction info here: http://www.crownandcaliber.com/watch...united-states/

It's a deal for a non-rolex watch!

Leojmcca · 17 May 2015, 11:24 AM

I just completed my deal with Alex. He was very quick to return emails and answer questions. He was a stand up guy from start to finish, I would recommend!
