New 44 rg in Hong Kong
Hi everyone,
Travelling to Hong Kong and planning on getting a new 44 rg from AD or boutique while I'm there. Just curious on how much discount is on offer.
Appreciate the feedback, thanks

Good luck finding it in an AD. The boutique might have it - no discounts there though

A couple of months back you could get 10-15% from grey dealers. Seems to be rarer now, so it may be less now

I would expect nothing from Boutique and if lucky 5-10% from AD if they even would have one.

Supply tough but if you can find one in stock and have the right contacts then good discounts from an AD possible. Boutique very mean on discounts as has been stated.

If Roger thinks the HK boutiques are mean with discounts there is your answer. Period. the end.

actually, I dont think they discount at all esp for this popular piece. To the OP, you can try to ask for some free gifts instead.

That is an understatement in a major way! One look at his Instagram will instantly cause shakes and insanity.

AD. RG definitely easier to get at an AD than the ceramic at the moment.

In Hong Kong AD, it is not easy to have a RG in stock. All the RG was already pre-order for their VIP customer.

However you may try to visit the one and only one AP direct boutique in Hong Kong IFC, they may have stock there with 0-5% discount offer, but you can ask for a free strap.

that sucks. London doesn't have the best stock, but RG (and Ti) are ones that you can actually find here. 3 AD's have them right now.

You shouldn't be waiting much longer.

I would expect that Roger would fall into the (VVVV)VIP category!

OP my dealer has a second one in stock - PM me if you need details. I can't guarantee he will extend my pricing to you though! If I am in town, I can accompany you and lobby on your behalf!
