Hong Kong watch shops

Might be going over to Hong Kong soon.

I was wondering if any of the good folk on here would have recommendations for any watch shops or general areas with nice watch shops there for a bit of a browse and maybe a purchase.

I'll be on the lookout for a nice sinn 656, 756 maybe an old or new tudor, old IWC or something interesting on the vintage side of things.....also interested in one of those guigaro seikos.

Pre-owned not a problem at all as the budget would be limited-ish.....more really just for browsing purposes but would pick up a bargain if I seen it....also interested in tough outdoorsy g-shock/suunto/marathon type watch with tritium at a reasonable price if possible.....Yes I know I'd probably be better of bargain hunting on various fora or purchasing online but I like the old fashioned bricks and mortar way and it couldn't hurt to look.

Was there 2 years ago and shop prices were quite high. Shoppers from the mainland have been driving up prices for quite some time. Discounts are also rare - you will be told that the discount is programmed onto the till and can't be improved. I spent quite a bit too much ×2 on a casio in one of the 'city watch' stores, they are everywhere BTW.

Lots of second hand shops but I have read that their are a lot of franken Rolexs (not all original or all Rolex parts) on sale in some of the shops. I regreted not getting the chance to visit some of the seiko boutiques while I was there. Can't remember any adresses but they are all on the Web.
