I was hoping to see a few cool watches during my business trip in Asia, but not two floors of eye-candy!!! This store opened in August and claim to be the largest is Asia...I did not see anything missing from the line up!!!

I almost missed my flight looking around...the blue on the Daytona clashed too much with my shirt so I passed on the purchase. :)

Awesome!

Was there earlier this year and it was not open yet...

Cc1966 · 8 November 2013, 01:42 AM

Two floors! That's a lot of eye candy...

www777 · 8 November 2013, 01:48 AM

Wow, you are not kidding. They even had the blue daytona.

buke45 · 8 November 2013, 01:51 AM

Wow!! Nice

SWISSAHOLICS · 8 November 2013, 02:04 AM

That's a gorgeous store.

elcompa · 8 November 2013, 02:11 AM

Nice! I bet that was fun. We're their prices reasonable? Lower that the US? I never travel that part of the world. Worth the trip for a watch-er?

Nidal · 8 November 2013, 02:22 AM

My AD is in the slums compared to this

It was a blast and fully unexpected as I had no idea it was located in Terminal 1. I counted 6 or 7 employees on each level so when I asked to see the Platinum Daytona they really stepped up their attention level!!

They claimed better prices than USA and no tax...I am not sure if that is true, but I could have purchased that beautiful Daytona for $75K out the door.

c41250n · 8 November 2013, 02:54 AM

Welcome to Hong Kong!
the Blue Daytona is just too pricey!

jctrolex · 8 November 2013, 03:20 AM

Saw the Daytona a week ago in Maui and it was priced at $75k US

They will also ship the box and papers seperately, too. I asked them about that.

Urosfan · 8 November 2013, 10:59 AM

Store looks amazing

benlee · 8 November 2013, 11:06 AM

Hong Kong is tax free island wide so there is not much incentive to shop at the airport. Quite sure there are better deals to be had on the main island.

anilzat · 8 November 2013, 11:12 AM

One great store, that is Disneyland for us adults.

Old Expat Beast · 8 November 2013, 11:15 AM

Sure, AD discounts and boutique discounts are generally 5% across all of Hong Kong, airport included. I can't see them doing that much business, but certain mainland Chinese shoppers might find themselves with a few thousand yuan that need offloading before flying home.

Thanks for the photos!

Very cool, may need to make a TRF field trip to Hong Kong!

kultschar · 8 November 2013, 11:50 AM

On my last trip one of my flights was delayed 3 hours. Pity it wasn't in Hong Kong!

threemonkeys · 8 November 2013, 01:49 PM

Good thing you passed on the Daytona. That non-matching shirt would drive me nuts.

greenjacket · 8 November 2013, 05:25 PM

I was there last week. It was an amazing store. I was looking for a white gold DD II with blue wave dial. Cannot find it anywhere in Hong Kong or Taiwan. But there was one in display in this store. Price is slightly higher ( 5% ) than AD in Taiwan.

DW999 · 8 November 2013, 06:37 PM

I've been by there 6 or 7 times since they have opened, only walked in once though.

Their pricing is rather firm as I believe they are a official Rolex store. 5% max discount. Most AD's will offer quite a bit more off if you go into the city.

Taiwan and HK are similarly priced if you can get tax back in Taiwan.

monster.hobby · 10 November 2013, 08:53 PM

it is a good place to kill the time before flight. just try different rolex.

Racerdj · 10 November 2013, 09:12 PM

What a place! Excellent pictures and will add it to my bucket list.

DOUGHN · 10 November 2013, 10:08 PM

damn i was in HK last October... i missed that store at the HK airport, though i went to a rolex store infront of ocean terminal TST .... 2 floors of Rolexes and Tudors. The Saleslady said it is the biggest Rolex store in whole HK....hmmmmm though they don't have a Hulk, Bnlr, and plat daytona
