Greetings from Hong Kong

Hi everyone,
A British expat here in Hong Kong, loving the warmer weather Asia brings, as well as direct access to the replica's that can be bought in Shenzhen, just a stone throw's away from here.

Been collecting just for over 6 months but have been buying a new watch pretty much once a week to 1.5 weeks recently.

Have some rollies, a Panerai, Cartier but recently Hublot and AP. Have about 4 Hublot's and 5 AP's now in my collection

Hope to add many more soon, with the insight gained from this forum, thanks

Welcome from Hong Kong

I'm also from the UK, hope you can survive the upcoming humidity, lol.
HK is great, close enough for fast shipping from the TDs for convenience, and also so easy to get replacement parts and watch tools. Hope you enjoy it here. (HK and the forum)

welcome buddy..

you're very lucky to be there.
Does it feels like heaven every time you enter those rep shops? definitely much better than browsing at reps in a 14" screen

Thanks buddy, good to be here. Yes it is kinda pretty good, and it's getting to be an addictive hobby. I've bought roughly a watch every 1.5-2 weeks for the past 6 months and increasingly spending more and more.

I started with the rolexes (as you do) for £35-40 equivalent and then move onto hublot, cartier, patek for similar price. Now I've moved onto these "super-rep" with "Swiss movements" ie. 7750 which cost £370-390 particularly with the AP offshore.
