isit? oh..thanks for the reminder..didnt tink about that...hopefuly i can find my 1st 'destined' rolex there...heheheh.. btw.. have u guys ever seen a rolex in gun metal? is that a fake?

Dont suggest u try to MO for the rest of us, though its a nice thought! Buying 1 or 2 watches and wearing it back is fine, anything more & u may be stuck at customs paying GST! Its OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deadbench]

ya im buying alone.. so i try to get recommended shops.. i believe those recommend shop with reputation wont do such a thing...crossing my finger..hehehe... so any series is especially cheap there... i can help MO abit n bring in...

[minusplus]

Yes. HK is well-known for it's replicas, especially for Rolexes. If you're buying alone, try not to get a pre-owned one.

When r u heading to HK? I'll be heading there next month. If u r into pre-own Rolex watches, got to be very careful over there. There are a no. of such dealers located along Nathan Rd and prices can be pretty in the vicinity of Mong Kok. There again, its a reputable place for 'authentic' stuff. I do know of a dealer in Sino Centre. If u r interested, PM me for the contact.

im goin hk soon..and yes..will also be looking for a rolex there.. i heard can get gd price compared to sg coz they dun have some sales tax or something.. not too sure...
however i hope to gather some info on the watch shop there...ermm..at least reputable..in case i kena rip-off..coz i rolex newbie...may consider brietling and IWC also...if price is right..but so far..still very ex...

read from here that the 2nd hand rolex sell more ex than sg?esp after discounts given in sg... if tats the case then i no need buy liao.. anyway hope to get more shop info so i can plan my itinery more effectively...

any advice will be taken seriously...thanks in advance..
