For the first time!

Hi Guys,

Looking to get my first AP. im leaving for Hong Kong this friday for about a week.

Anyone know where to get one there? Or a shop that accepts trades plus cash.

Im also looking at selling/trading my ss white dial daytona that i bought in 2010.

If anyone could point me into the right direction please. Greatly appreciate it. :)


Cheers,

Dee

Dee.

Which AP are you looking for?

If you are going to look at and try on various models you should go to one of the big AP ADs. Those are easy to find. If you know your model you should try to find it on the internet first. APs are not as common as Rolex so you will save time by knowing who has the model you want.

Hong Kong residents participate in this forum--maybe you should change the heading of this thread to include Hong Kong in the title to attract their attention.

I don't know about trades. You might lose money when trading your watch in and when buying the seller's watch. I think you would be better off financially if you advertise and sell your Daytona first. I don't know how to do it, but if you know someone who is good at driving a bargain that's who you want on your side.

AP does not have its own store setup in HK, but there are a number of AD.

I recommend Central, there is two shops right across the street from each other:
AUDEMARS PIGUET BOUTIQUE BY CARLSON WATCH
AUDEMARS PIGUET PAVILION BY MASTERPIECE BY KING FOOK CENTRAL

@mrarchiegoodwin

I was looking at the ROOC panda model actually. hehe. Went through their official website and was having a hard time focusing. Too many options and variations. I'll narrow it down soon enough.

Been reading a couple of good stuffs here at TRF too so I'll make my pick soon.

You're right about the trading thing. I'll just probably keep my Daytona for now and sell it afterwards.

Thanks for the good tips mate! appreciate it.


@Mok
Definitely heading to Central. Thanks Mate.
