The place Archie stay, Mira is the best place to buy used Rolex. The Peninsula is very upscale, you may find rare exclusive watches opposite Peninsula Central or other parts of HK not worth looking, hotel food are expensive...don’t waste time. I normally stays 3 station away from Tsim Sha Tsui, around Mongkok, hotel half the price of Mira, one tenth of Peninsula. Then I visit Peninsula just to have look, get some lunch, then shop around the store near Mira. I prefers Tokyo or Osaka than HK for used Rolex or Patek, If you wanna buy brand new, Macau offers better deal, more stock. Sydney or Melbourne dealers are honest compared to HK, but stock is very limited. One store in Tsim Sha Tsui can have 100 sport Rolexes to choose, where the whole Sydney and Melbourne combined store may have only 30 sport Rolexes at any time. Tokyo dealers stock maybe less than HK, but they don’t rip you off; they are happy to earn 30% margin, where as HK, they want to have as much as they can, 100% or more. Many Hongkong Tsinshatsui dealers source their Rolex from Shinjuku. I predict 30% of Hongkong used Rolex were originally from Japan. Tokyo Ginza Shinjuku and parts of Osaka shopping districts shinsaibashi, have more smaller size second hand dealers than HK, if you add up in total Rolex availability in Osaka and Tokyo there are hundreds, in total it may be equal to Hong Kong.
I was in Hong Kong in the early 90’s - loved it. But, I tried to buy a camera lens from TST and Nathan Road. 6 stores tried to sell me the same lens with the same scratch on it 😱
Well I went to a gathering on Sat. 15 people give or take. 4 submariner dates and 1 GMTMII Root Beer (worn by a girl). That’s what the Hongkongnese wear. Follow the heard. I’d make the case that you should be able to get a good deal if you are not looking for Rolexes.
Too bad the Brittish gave Hong Kong back. I knew a couple of people who lived there and then when it went back to China they were treated like garbage. I would not give the Chinese my money for anything. Best thing of Hong Kong is the view of leaving it.
This will probably be vicious Rolf. One year watching? Lucky phucker. Head back to Svenska would be my advice and enjoy the benefits of the welfare state. This is better advice than buying SS Rolex at a premium.
honk kong - best place to get bashed by riot police while blinded by vintage tear gas
too bad fatso didnt experience it yet...
Arch could be useful there as their battering ram like those ogre type chaps in lotr. Sorry not nerdy enough to know their names.
Exactly!!!
I wish Arch would be completely honest for once.
not possible - he can't do it

I like that intro tune. What is it?
20:13 please tell me were you trying to do a russian, italian or indian accent?
L NV no impersonation, it is his real accent
The Pontiff!!!!!!!

Rolf Harris is Archies new best friend. Who would have thought.
I really hate Gary's high pitched whine "Hey Archie Lugzoory phans". Stick to playing the banjo Gazza.
Zeddington He sounds like one of The Beach Boys.

If the Chinese don't like old watches, than HK should be good for buying vintage, no?
20:12 😂😂😂😂😂

The Chinese certainly rule more hard ass than the British. You are right on that score.
“Only” a 7 hour flight to Australia?! 🥴🤣🤣 FMD Arch, after the ticket and hotel for the night there’s no way you’re ahead after discounts.
Tsim Sha Tsui is pronounced like Jeem Sa Juy
I thought it was pronounced "nobody gives a fuckuy"?
@@z00h you clearly do by replying. tool.
@@champeight6737 had you been smarter you'd realised my comment logically doesn't imply whether I care or not, thickouy.
@@z00h haha reply again please. show us you really care. please reply.
@@champeight6737 oh good morning, monguy!
Music by the carpet beetle band. Best place in Hong Kong to rag a lady boy all over a seedy hotel room? Ask Archie.
Archie still kissing WatchBox ass because he’s jealous of the “rodent.”

Another sucker pays Arch for advice . I’ll give you some free advice. Don’t send him any money !
