That was last month....

 

As @Stchambe said, plenty of people have asked and there's been a lot said.

A pictorial guide to the Hong Kong grey watch market -...

Time to swap over iPhones - clearing out the old images, so here they are. This is a little bit of a tour through a section of Hong Kong's grey watch market. It stretches between Tsim Sha Tsui down the Harbour end up Nathan Road to Mong Kok on the Kowloon side. It starts with a concentration...

126610LV Headed For A Week In Hong Kong

Been wearing the 126610LV exclusively lately and have really started to enjoy just having one watch with me any time I travel. It keeps things simple and I don’t have to worry about unattended watches. Headed mainly for work, but should also have plenty of time to explore, eat some amazing...

Hong Kong Watch Stores - looking for feedback

Hello everyone, I know this has been debated in various forums in the past, but as far as I can see the last update on this was from 2014 or 2015. I have a some experience shopping vintage watches from the secondhand dealers in Central (Berne Horology, Ken Watches, etc.), but have never really...

Going to Hong Kong, where are the good and reputable...

Hello WUS, I am going to Hong Kong next week and, of course, would like to see if I can get a watch over there for a decent price. If any of you have been there, or are from, or live in HK, please share some reputable watch shops (ADs) that I should check out. I am also looking into pre-owned...

Dealers are mostly found along Nathan Rd the main thoroughfare through Kowloon, Tsim Tsa Tsui.

For places to see and do, nothing much really interestingto me.... 😔

For meals, maybe try street side food places known as Tai Pai Tong.

Having said that, I used to travel there often for work but haven't been there since 1997.

 

Just go out on the street. There's so many watch stores it's crazy. Like the Grand Seiko AD that's at Chungking Mansions (which in the US is like having it at the front entrance of a slumlord's apartment building). Personally I find shopping for watches all along Nathan (and a few blocks either way) more enjoyable than around Central. But you'll walk next to some little dinky store selling old clothing and the store that shares the wall next will be a store with the kind of Breguets and Cartiers your boutique in LA wishes they could get. And then the myriad of small shops littered everywhere from shopping districts to apartment complexes to just randomly anywhere that sell cheaper watches.

And of course there's the major "malls" like IFC, ICC, 1881, etc.

Honestly though, if this is your first time in HK see something else than western watches. And don't hang around the western touristy stuff on Hong Kong Island. Kowloon and NT are much better.

Of course there's this too. Don't know how easy it is to get in though.

Visiting the Memorigin Manufacturer Facility, a Hong...

So for some of you who noticed, I was only on the forum here and there for the last few weeks. I was on vacation jumping around cities. One place I visited was Hong Kong. As I knew in advance that I was going, I decided to ask them if I could visit them as they were based in Hong Kong. Well...

Excellent advice. The tourist places are nothing special, IMHO.

 

so many people going to HK all of a sudden.

 

Because it has just lifted all the restrictions? I happen to be visiting as well to see my family. Ticket prices are insane though.

 

The ticket prices are nuts. What we pay for economy now is what people used to pay for business not that long ago…

I know this makes me a ****ty millennial, but I really want to cut back on travel as much as I can this year and the next. But not sure that I can…

the more you cut back on travel, the more watches you can buy (this argument did not work much with my gf, just saying)
