Travelling to Hong Kong, which Rolex?
Hi all, next week I will be visiting Hong Kong. Mainly for pleasure; some tourist stuff (together with a cousin who lives there) and will be doing some watch “shopping” as well of course. Currently not enough available funds to seriously consider an actual purchase though.
In addition to the tourist activities, there will be 2 business dinners that I will attend, joining the mrs who this time is the one going for business and an exhibition visit.

Which rolex (or Tudor) would you guys suggest I’d be wearing? When I asked the mrs., she first suggested my yg gmt green dial, on second thought she suggested my jc deepsea. I like my deepsea but am more leaning towards 1 of my GMT’s, the yg, my steel Pepsi
or the black gmt? If no gmt/Rolex I would consider my newest addition the full bronze Tudor boutique edition.
Pls help !

HK is a place where you see Rolex everywhere!

I was just in HK back in Sept and I seen gold, gold with oysterflex and SS Daytona all day long.

In Hong Kong, I was told by my buddy who lives there that gold is preferred.

Not just gold. To Asians, especially HKG, gold can ONLY be yellow.

I concur.
Rose is considered copper and therefore represents inferior

I would go with YG GMT.

Nowadays Asian love all kinds of gold, many of them wear AP and PP Rose Gold.

Doesn't really matter... Rolex is so common out here and you'll never be wearing the most expensive watch in the vacinity.

Don't over think it and just enjoy HK.

I came back from Hong Kong last week and there are Rolex’s everywhere and it’s very safe to the point where I don’t give a second thought to what watch I’m wearing (unlike London).
