Lange Timezone - Beijing or Hong Kong

I have been given a chance to choose Beijing or Hong Kong on the dial. Hong Kong is the default one in this case.

Sales peeps advised that HK should remain as most other world time pieces like PP are have gone over to Beijing. Hong Kong is much more exclusive. However, if Beijing, it will be more unique to Timezone.

Need views.

Hong Kong is more traditional as a watch timezone destination, and looks much classier than Beijing, IMO.

Definitely HK for me :D

But KL is also on the same timezone so perhaps KL if they are actually open to doing that... Are they currently producing timepieces with both Beijing and HK?

+1 for HK, would be sad to see it lose its default status

I personally would choose Beijing. It's definitely more unique and if you end up selling it. May go for an additional premium.

HKG, unless you can swing something more custom. If we ever get to the point where having HKG over PEK is a problem… I think the watch is the least of your worries.

Thanx for the feedback. Probably will stick to Hong Kong for now, although I still hope they can do Singapore or Kuala Lumpur for the South East Asian market. But not hopeful.
