Rolex used to play up the tax advantage of Hong Kong shopping in their tourist brochure advertising years ago, but then I guess they just thought they'd take up the slack themselves.

Quite a bit cheaper indeed especially if you go the grey route. I have noticed the Rolex prices being not what they used to be in HK, it’s the other way round now. If I have a friend who wants to buy a Rolex they’ll wait until they visit the UK and take advantage of the VAT and currency situation.
