Due to the controlled spending on Chinese, This year’s watches sale has declined 80% as comparing with the Same time in 2012.
I have at least helped 20 of our watch fans to buy Rolex in December 2012. Well, up to now, there has been still a lot of enquires, but I believe only a few of them finally try not to spend their money coming to HK to buy Rolex, rather stay in their country.
One example of Singapore, which used to be 10% more expensive than HK, there has been a lot of promotional items on Rolex, many Singaporean stays in their Country for Rolex purchases.
Hottest Item GMT Master II Black Blue
Rolex GMT Master II Ref 116710BLRN is still the hottest item, from what I have learnt, still many people is eager to buy such a watch, but there are a lot of people who bought it at HKD$65,300 list price without discount.
Rolex Daytona
Well, surprising, due to the down turn of Rolex Sale, we can get Daytona Stainless steel much easier than ever in HK. We can get Ref116520 Daytona Black and One White by December. However, people’s buying power is low to response to that
2014 World Economy
I believe 2014 is a good year for World’ Economy and definitely Rolex price will increase by 2014
Rolex price
I am afraid Rolex will keep the same price as it is now for at least first Quarter of 2014 as who will buy if the price will be increased another 5%!? The Rolex watch price is an International index for how good or how well the sale of Rolex for all countries as 60% of Rolex will be imported to HK every year.
Wow. Didn't realize there is a sale. Do you by any chance know what kind of discounts A Lange is offering during this period? Just looking for Lange 1 or Lange 1 in white gold. Would be interested if they have a meaningful sale

Hi Zinge Audio.
ReplyDeleteThere is no discount at those Watch Boutique, but there is some discount of bigger percentage at other distributor.
I can say that 20% for Omega, 20% for AP, 10% for Rolex.
However for those Boutique Model no discount.
So I may make you confused, only some of the model has bigger discount. Due to the Chinese Buying demand is very low, Watch shops have to find a way to make more sales! This is my points only.
I know some people can get a higher discount from A Lang but not me, I get some Rolex Discount only! You can check with some of teh shops. I can check for you.

Oh. My bad. Sorry I misunderstood you.
DeleteMy friends said typically A Lange discounts count get to 20 for Lange 1 and Grand Lange 1. That sounds reasonable to you too?
Cheers
Hi Zinger
ReplyDeleteOh, I think 20% is a very good discount, and I believe not many people could get that.
I have checked my friends who run a big shop for branded watches, they do not have A Lang, so my network stops here for A Lang.
As for example, AP, I get less 20-30% depending model
Thanks for your comment!
