Hi from Hong Kong & First Incoming!
Hi & Good Evening from Hong Kong,
I’ve been an Expat here for a couple of years and only recently got the watch “fever”. After a lot of reading & Youtube I wanted to start with a classic model that could be worn on all occasions and will help me to start to learn more about the hobby. I did visit most of Hong Kong Islands Rolex AD’s (there are a ton of them) to talk and understand more about my choice (of course whilst wearing a mask). Most said my desired model was not available but about a week later I got the call and it was just a great experience to pick the watch up. Have been wearing it everyday and am still in the honeymoon phase plus hoping to add a few more references over time. Looking forward to comparing notes with everyone here. |

Thanks for the warm welcome! Hong Kong is an exciting place to start with the hobby, so many people are into watches here, no matter the background. Unfortunately the current economic climate is felt here, too as the first shops had to shut down.

One of the most underrated sports watch in their current lineup imo. It's a beautiful piece, and I'm thinking of getting one too. Congrats!
