An Australian Friend bought a Rolex Ref. 116619LB yesterday

This is one of my favourite Watches, you can not find this in the pre-owned market! Why, first of all this is not a preferred model for the Supertitious Chinese Hong Kongers, second, this is an expensive Watch that no normal worker like I can afford to buy!
Only limited Rich people or Watch Lovers would like to consider. 
This is not a common article you can find in the pre-owned Watch Market in HK. So far I have not seen one and my friend Andy saw once only.
Peter, friend of mine came to HK to buy this beautiful Rolex Dream Watch.... He paid in Cash, I belived the sales man had to count 15 minutes for that huge amount, it is about 4 times the price of Ref 116610LN!
and I hope Peter could find this watch a piece of gem and I believe the sharks underseas will salute to you and dare not bite you, because they dare not under-estimate you! The Rich Power!

    Hi Paul

    After read this blog, I feel curious about this 116619LB. How much actually this watch? As for paying in cash, actually I prefer that way too for transaction overseas, because credit card bank issuer usually impose on higher exchange rate than money changer, it's make a lot of saving if I make big amount transaction.

    Happy Chinese New Year.

    Hi Albert
    This watch carries a List price of HKD$263,600
    Yes, you are right as they impose a higher dicsount especially for Australian back transactions. So Peter used Cash to buy.
    He get a super discount.
    The final deal is HKD$231,968
    which is cheaper than what he got HKD$240,000 even after less 15.5% in Australia.
    He is happy!
    Thanks Kung Hei Fat Choi.

    Hi Paul

    It's been a while since my last comment.

    HKD$231,968?? What a pricy watch! Is it solid gold? But he got a lot of discount, I think it's more than 10%.

    Your newer post said that you being watch by Rolex company for helping people get their Rolex, is it really that serious?

    I think what you did was a win win situation. You make everybody happy.

    I hope Rolex can understand and think like I do.

    Best regards,

    HI Albert, The owner is a smart business man and he kept talking to teh shop for less 12% discount,
    he paied cash.

    Yes, this is the solid White Gold with blue dial and bezel, it is a beautiful watch, so beatiful that
    it looks like a "TOY". anyway I believe only limited number people will use it for Swimming!

    And The guy told me I am too much high profile and Rolex is likely sending a undercover to buy Rolex from me... But I think ROlex should be smart not too disturb someone who is doign free promotion for them... I think.
    anyway I try not to get discount for other anymore. unless they are very serious to find somewhat Watch they can not find in their country!
