Luxury Watch Industry's Dilemma In Hong Kong
Photo Credit: Jason FungAround the world, people are carefully watching news about the protests in Hong Kong. From the popular #OccupyHongKong hashtag and bloggers on the streets to the mainstream press, I think the world is curious to see how Beijing will handle the delicate political situation in China's strongest economic market. Something that is beginning to make itself clear is that the protests in Hong Kong related to free rule will hugely impact on the luxury watch industry, now and going forward.Let's put things into context. Hong Kong isn't just the "gateway to the Asian watch market," but is one of the world's most important places for the watch industry. In an article on this exact topic, John Revill at the Wall Street Journal reports that exports to Hong Kong alone represent between about 15-20% of the overall global sales at corporations such as the Swatch Group, LVMH, and Richemont. Hong Kong represents a huge part of their business.Furthermore, Hong Kong has been the fo

Introducing: The Panerai Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic Acciaio 42mm
Panerai has released a new Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic Acciaio 42mm, with a white dial, at SIHH. 1 OF 2 The Radiomir 1940  is a combination of design elements from both the Luminor and Radiomir watches; it’s based on a historical model that was a kind of transitional design between the Luminor and Radiomir. With the cushion-form case, smaller lugs, and non-locking crown, the Radiomir 1940 has become a favorite for Panerai enthusiasts (see our reviews on the Oro Rosso version and the stainless steel versions released last year here). The 1940, initially made with a manual-winding movement, received an upgrade in 2014 with an automatic movement. The caliber P.4000 was the first movement created just for the Radiomir 1940 and is notable for the off-center micro-rotor and three-quarter plate. 2 OF 2 The newest version of the 1940, seen here, has the same P.4000 movement that is made in-house complete with the characteristic micro-rotor. The newest

Fallen in love with the Moonwatch
I have slowly fallen in love with the Moonwatch. Such a classic and price is within reach.I did recently put a order for a new Subc no date because I dont want to deal with counterfeit Rolex. It would hate me emotionally if I ever found out I bought a fake used Rolex.With the Moonwatch, used price is relatively cheap (just the basic model) compare to a Rolex. The lower the capital cost, the lower the risk, just like all investment.How do I even start? I live in Canada and often travel to Asia (Hong Kong and China mostly) for pleasure/work. I am going to guess Canada is not the place to find a good used Moonwatch. How about Hong Kong? Any recommendation on where to start? It excites me knowing I will go though the process of learning how to find the right used Moonwatch and the actually used shopping process. I often buy used electronics and vehicle, that's the only used experience I have. Sold my damn Apple Watch last week, no more toy watch :)

This is still a active model, so watches are still being produced since 2002. Best regards, Omega Sales Support So odd to me...but hey at least now I know!!!!
