1. Rolex is mostly welcome by pawn shop of HK.

11. Chinese Tycoon buys 10 Rolex each time coming to HK as give-away item to their clients in China.


12. Since Rolex is so boring as it never fail or stop after using for 20 , 30 years, only post 90’s people would be the new potential customer in HK, so the market for HK people is diminishing everyday, the major buyer is from Mainland China, Indonesian, Thai and Australian. I think 70% of the watches were going to the mainland China Visitors nowadays, 20 percents to the other foreign visitor and 10% to people of HK.
