AD’s display window today

I took these pictures in a premium mall in Hong Kong today.

Getting a new Rolex is probably not what people have in mind with the pandemic situation out there right now - if this signifies a lasting mindset shift we may see SS sport watches in these windows soon.

Thanks for the picture. These are the same pieces I've been seeing for a while which tells you they aren't very in-demand.
Looking forward to seeing the main sellers in the windows. That will signify times have changed to me.

Thanks for posting this. I think its really telling. I do think at least the less desirable SS will be in windows at some point in the coming months- although not in Singapore it seems! Not seen a PM sports model in window for over 12 months

They have the same stuff available at my local ADs. I would imagine it's harder than ever to unload anything over $20K. People buying those are likely older and just not thinking about this type of stuff.

Quite surprising for Hong Kong indeed. Out of curiosity, what mall is this ?

Nice to see watches in the cases, but it's sad too. Not because of the selection, but the reason. Be careful friends.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. Aren’t PMs usually pretty popular in Asia?

Just remember the virus can survive for days on metal surfaces... might want to rinse whatever you purchase carefully....
