Exactly one year later, I?was eager to return and to see for myself, now with a more trained and critical eye, what had changed over the last 12 months. Because we are watches-dealer, I will save my remarks regarding the wonderful city of Hong Kong for the time when I launch my travel blog ¨C but only after?I have grown three extra heads and pairs of hands to be able to see to all the watch-related stuff?that is of much higher priority. Without further ado, let's see what?the?unique ¨C and massive! ¨C 2015 Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair?had in store for us.The entry hall of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibiton Center ¨C some 20,000 buyers, exhibitors and visitors have flocked through here during the five days of

How Not to Wear a Rolex
Okay, so I deal in watches on a part time basis, and I too marvel at a watch that is literally brand-new, in the box, every tag, paper, bit of plastic still on But I often think that if you have such a watch and if you intend to keep it that way- never wear it. Don't even display it. Because no matter how careful you are- a trained eye can tell if its been worn or touched.Its like I tell my dad (a fellow WIS and car enthusiast) when we see a revered car with zero miles on the clock "Sure it's nice, but what are you going to do with it? You can't drive it at this point..." So a person comes in to pick up a new watch. Seemed like a nice enough guy- so, I asked to see his Sub. He took it off his wrist and happily gave it to me. Beautiful Sub, but I honestly felt embarrassed for him. He kept every bit of plastic on it. I mean, not just the case plastic (which I'll admit, I did for the first two weeks I got my GMT Master II) every piece of plastic!It was disgusting! Because if you

What was on your wrist today?

Buying a Patek and bringing it into the US
Hi everyone. I am on vacation outside the US and I may have gotten extremely lucky. I stumbled upon a Patek AD and enquirer about the blue 5711 I've been looking for and the salesperson told me if I was serious they were getting one tomorrow and I could have it! So obviously I want to jump on this but I am concerned about the duties bringing it into the US. If I do this I'm not interested in breaking any laws, I will declare the full value of the watch to customs. I am trying to figure out how much the duties will be but I can't figure it out based on anything I've read online. I've seen figures quoted from 4-10%. Does anyone have experience with this or know what the duty is likely to be? Thanks in advanceSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Grail Has Landed: Ice, Ice Baby
The Grail was delivered yesterday wearing an Ice Blue face spattered with diamonds. I opened the box expecting to view a brilliant blue dial; however, what I saw was a subtle hue, almost silver, that changes with the light. Although the watch is stunning, I was disheartened because I’d hoped for a deeper blue. I read the thread on the different Ice Blue colors, https://.rolexforums/showthread.php?t=402229, but the muted tone was unexpected. Yet, as I sat with it, absorbing its heft on my wrist, watching the diamonds’ vivacity under the light, the dial came alive in the most subtle, seductive way. I am smitten and trust that you will be too.https://drive.google/file/d/1Wvv...ew?usp=sharing
