So I'm currently sitting in quarantine over in China. Came over with work at the start of the week.... just wondering if anyone has had any luck buying rolex here.? Heard they are a bit cheaper than UK.. . Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Only 1% of Chinese can afford Rolex...unfortunately for you that's about 15 million of them. You will not find availability any better there.

Nice - Didn't know they had opened the borders yet.

Dont think that you will have any luck with watches, but can recommend that you have a beer or drink at "Barbarossa Lounge" in Peoples Park - Its a fantastic place.

To be truthful i wasn't thinking I'd be lucky enough to go into an AD and buy for list. I was meaning more so the secondary market. Or even the lesser popular non sport models

I'm staying right next to people's park at the dorsett as soon as I come out of lockdown.
I had to apply for business visa and in truth it was a massive chew that took months. As said I anothervreply I was more thinking of secondary " grey" market. I don't expect to be that lucky walking into AD anywhere in the world lol.

Then you have really to do Barbarossa Lounge for a later afternoon drink If you are into whiskey, then go visit Constellation Bar at Huangpi Bei Lu, one of the side streets to Peoples Park.

Lived in the area for nearly 2 years, and its a good location to be and easy to get around
