I am heading to Hong Kong later this month. Noticed that a lot of the best priced watches on Chrono24 are from dealers in HK.

Would appreciate any recommendations on shops to visit and do’s and don’ts to consider.

In particular, my focus would be on higher end dress watches (Patek / AP / JLC / Blancpain) - modern and neo-vintage.

I thought Craft and Tailor provided a good starting point. But appreciate any additional info / confirmation that people may have. Thanks!

I currently have the white dial Omega Seamaster Diver 300m. It’s a great watch but I hate the bracelet and am starting to prefer slighting small case sizes (38-40mm), plus I want a slimmer case and would prefer a taper to the bracelet. I’d like to get something more unique but Omega quality or better. Casually considering the Glashutte SeaQ but curious what divers the group would recommend (not a Submariner)?

I have a Grand Seiko night birch, which is a high beat with their dual impulse escapement. I had to bring it in for service under warranty in 2023 because it was running 20 seconds fast per day. Seiko fixed it but now it’s creeping up again and running more than 10 seconds fast per day. (It’s supposed to be -3 to +5). Also, the manual winding now requires hundreds of winds. It’s under warranty still so I brought it back to the local AD to be sent to Seiko (and probably to Japan for this movement).

I have other Grand Seikos which have been very reliable (both high beat and spring drive).

I am curious if others have had issues with GS watches - either with the original watch or their service?

(The watch is beautiful)

I'm an avowed second generation Overseas guy (own two) but my friend just picked up a new ultra thin perpetual and JFC this thing is sexual.

Not worth the 130k Vacheron is asking but these dive down into the 80s the second you wear it out of the store.

Hey guys

I already bought it

Just so you know

But I don’t mind getting beat up

Or praise if it’s appropriate

Anyhow, I do like Panerai but not always

Recently bought one so I am thinking about something else, however

The dealer in Palm Beach on North Avenue cool Spot. I’m friendly with the woman there.

She’s great FYI

She obviously wants to sell watches, but she sent me a text that somebody passed away so the Panerai that he left in description was available?!
