Hong Kong Rolex Service Centre

Jardine House (Chinese: 怡和大廈), formerly known as Connaught Centre (康樂大廈), is an office tower in Hong Kong. The building is located at 1 Connaught Place, Central on Hong Kong Island. ... History[edit]. 1st generation Jardine House. This is Where the current Rolex Service Centre is. This picture was likely take in 1970, where the 14/floor of Jardine House was under construction. The building has been standing there for a Central Landmark with Circular window and I think is the building that uses the main wall as the pillar support of the building, as inside has not many pillars such to maximize the floor space. I have been to Rolex Service center twice in my life time. First time was back in 1981 I bought a solid gold vintage lady manual winding Rolex, and I brought it there for restoration.  Another time was I brought a DD 18039 Salmon with a potential watch lover to see if that is authentic... I have traded 400 Rolex but That was the only one time to use the authentication service.

Is it the best time to buy your Rolex now?

Many people told me let’s wait to see the bottom of the price drop of Rolex to buy.
There is no way to predict the bottom price at all. As no one knows how much HSBC share price would go down to.  Or when it will hits $80.00 per share?
There is always possibility to have further drops, all depends on many factors that is out of our control.
There are people who would:-

1. Wait until he can get Daytona 116500 at SRP. I think you may have to wait for years under current waiting list.
Certain Jeweler store Chow XX asks to buy an One Carat Diamond about HK$70,000  to get a Submariner or Batgirl at SPR,  unless you need that diamond for certain purpose, I don’t.
2.There is a of of financial strong dealer buying Rolex now and most of the stock left for those Chinese Visitors are almost sold out in this March-April. We we could buy Explorer II White at SRP $64,700 last week, this is the price has been up by $2,000. Meaning large portion of stock has been consumed.
3. If you are a newbie for Rolex, I think it is good time to buy now. As once when the lock down is cancelled after 23 April, there may have foreign and Chinese Visitor coming to purge all Rolex Hot cakes. Price will be up again.
4. These are my ten cents opinion only, just for your reference. You may have another idea and we can share it under blog comment or talk to me via Whatsapp.

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Ref 49140






 The tiny white ball is made of Ceramic which is prone to be reliable as to lock the clasp

My other Watches

Vacheron Constantin was founded in 1755 and is to this day, the oldest Swiss watch brand that has been continuously in business. They had an 84-year head start over Patek Philippe. That’s about 3 generations of watchmaking older than Patek and a lot can happen over a span of 84 years in watchmaking. In 2015 to mark the brand’s 260th anniversary. Vacheron Constantin launched the model 57260, with 57 complications, 2,826 parts and 31 hands that took them 8 years to assemble This is touted as the most complicated timepiece in the world. Vacheron Constantin had impressed watch aficionados around the world and has attracted many high profile customers which include King Farouk of Egypt and many others. The people that tend to purchase a Vacheron watch are usually the types that have an appreciation for impeccably crafted complicated mechanical watches but also like to fly-below-the-radar when wearing one. Vacheron Constantin is the 15th most recognized and valuable Swiss watch brand in the world. Though they are not as high up on the list as the likes of Patek Philippe or Rolex, they are still a very recognized brand with tremendous brand prestige. This is Overseas Ref 49140 in yellow gold 42 mm, weight 243 grams weight with full length of bracelet. I just love it and I often wear it.
What makes this Vacheron appealing is the fact that it's not a Rolex or a Patek Philippe!

All Major Rolex Watch Model Price, price at Rolex Authorized Dealer (AD) and gray dealers in Hong Kong April 2020.

These watches are available at AD shops, please inform me in advance for arrangement.

For my study on what is the best preferred post on my blog, there is one hits 92,366 page views on 30 June 2013, that is about 46,000 visitors in average, with 312 comments, that is a record on my blog.
So I think it is time that I should post something that you may “like”!
Rolex has been selling overprice on his sport model in 2019, well, after the pandemic COVID-19, this situation has been changed, because:-
HK, Macao and China has lock down, and you are have to be follow quarantine isolation for 14 days on arrival.  Who will come to Visit HK or buying Rolex?

This is situation of HK,  Karaoke, bar, Massage Sauna,  facial parlor, Cinema, has to closed by law till 24 April.

Restaurant are not allowed to sit more than 4 persons per table. Each table must be set afar 1.5m  in restaurant.
As a consequence, there is supply of those watches used to keep inside the drawers is not open for you to buy now. Is there is no Chinese buyer, price has been going down a bit in these two months about 5%. Some speculator private buyer is waiting to see further drop of the Price. All depends when the COVID-19 will come to an end , and once the Chinese could come HK, then the demand will be increase and price will go up again. As far as I know, many watch buyers and dealers are trying to stock up when they can afford to buy.
These are real watch speculators.
