Rolex Deepsea Deal inHong Kong - too good to be true? Advise please

[N_Architect]

I bought my DSSD from Dickson Jewellery & Watch at IFC Hong Kong on the 1st of January 2009. It was the second piece (out of total two pieces) the particular boutique had received in 2008. If I recall correctly, retail was around HKD63,000 back then.

The booklets etc. for mine were in English, so you should have no problem. Ask for at least 5% discount. I paid full retail at the time (asked for a discount but on such a newly introduced watch at the end of 2008, it was not easy).

No comparison to the prices in most parts of Europe. Get the watch, wear it under a sleeve on the way back home, keep the Rolex guarantee card and the receipt on you, ship the box home from HKG. Simple.

Oh, and enjoy Hong Kong. It is a beautiful and vibrant place.

Ironically, I live out there, and it is cheaper for me to buy in the UK and get the VAT off as I am non-resident, than to buy in Hong Kong.

HK price is about 4,975 pounds at the current exchange rate. No real discounts from grey sellers yet.

Wear the watch and mail the box and papers home so you can avoid the the tax.

Thanks old expat beast, I took your advice, got the same deal at the peninsula hotel AD and fantastic service. I just flew home this morning. Will post an incoming thread with pictures shortly.

Thanks for all your help guys

As long as it's an AD, you'll be fine. I bought my first Rolex in HK in 1994 and recall that memorable experience to this day.

Hong Kong is rolex heaven. It has the most rolex ADs in the world. Enjoy the watch!

Sounds like a bargain alright at that price - good luck and enjoy!

good luck finding one. I was in Singapore last week and only 1 shop had one and it was a gray dealer.
