Advisory : Travel to Hong Kong

[shaunquah1987]

BP international hotel which is right next to kowloon park is great value for money. Definitely visit the peak at night if you can. the view is amazing. its different from the day and cooler/less crowded

[Tech_wizard001]

Best time to visit for me personally would be from October to November, weather is cooling and not that crowded. December would be colder and with all the holidays and mad rush for shopping may not be ideal.

Cheers

Hi guys, having some questions because im heading hk next week n hope anyone can advise or share their experiences. Because is my 1st time heading there n grabbing my first rolex watch so wanna do my studies before buying. Thanks in advance.

1. Where will be the best for grabbing a rolex watch?
2. It is advisable to pay all in cash? Or using cc?
3. Will there be a extra surcharge in boutique if using cc Or paying full cash isit better for neg for lower pricing?
4. Better to buy in rolex boutique str or those retail ad?
5. If buying 2 watches when back in sg will i be taxed?

If you've been and gone could you update the thread with good watch store finds in HK? Would be good recon for my next trip.

Hi everyone, newbie here. I am currently living and working in Hong Kong.
If anyone wants recommendations on watch hunting or just chilling out for a bite to eat you are welcome to pm me!
Hopefully we could reciprocate the favor if I ever go to Singapore~
Peace!

Hi everyone I'm a new member here and I currently live (and work) in Hong Kong and one of my hobbies is to check out the watch stores for good prices and unique models. If anyone needs information you are welcome to pm me

I would also like to know about the pricing and availability of watches in Singapore too!

Frequent visitor to the Prada outlet at Ap Lei Chau and I must say it's a hit or miss experience - there are days with shelves of awful merchandise and customers walk out empty handed.

I think its not worth going to the Prada shop to buy. But its just my thought. I would rather just make the trip to Italy Florence to the Prada factory outlets to buy. Its much better I think.

Yes , buy from the source, cheaper.

[Throttle]

but factory outlet only have limited models and unpopular colors (definitely no new season stock) =(

Not quite true.
The Prada outlets in Italy do stock popular models.
Just launched new season, dont have but current ending season likely will have.
On colors , its a matter of luck already.

Otherwise just buy from Prada boutiques in the city. Still 40% cheaper anyhow.
I just bot a wallet for my sister as christmas present from boutique in Milan eur200.
Outlet selling eur120. I bang balls.
But Singapore sell sgd460, so nevermind lah Haha
