My comment, this is a result of buying statistics base on the Japanese ladies choice on Rolex, Japanese women that go for Rolex are mainly Middle class housewives, Journalists, hair Stylist, designers, celebrities, Lawyers and not so many OL will wear Rolex, as the conservative Japanese Culture limit their scope of Across the Border line of Class. It is not the same as in HK, everyone got money you can use it as you like… Well of course there are some exceptions.
I hope this can be some kind of guide lines for you to buy the next Gift for your beloved ones or for those ladies who would buy if as for herself as another luxury accessory other than your Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Chanel bags!
PS, The price listed here is List Price in HKD in Rolex AD, you may get min. less 5% discount on the purchase.
