Karim, Salam Aleikum. Going to the Peak at night to take in the sights of HK is a must. I also enjoy catching the ferry, a very inexpensive journey, across the Victoria Harbour to be a very nice relaxing ride. Do the Star Ferry ride at night to enjoy the beautiful night skyline.

As for rolex shopping, there are a lot of authorised rolex dealers across HK Island or Kowloon. Bargain hard and you can enjoy a good discount. Enjoy Hong Kong!

Ocean Park Hong Kong has a lot of fund rides (roller coasters) and great animal enclosures (panda bears, penguins).

The Star Ferry is an awesome way to get between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.

The Peak Tram is always a fun experience and on a clear day, you can't get better views of HK than from Victoria Peak.

For vintage Rolex, check out this thread on HK dealers:
