Big Pilot takes flight, HK edition - Part 2 > > >

I left off with Part 1 having lunch with Ricky and Angie.

After lunch I headed back to TST on the Star Ferry!

I left Montreal with just one watch, the BP, and thought I would miss changing watches. The Big Pilot makes a great traveling companion!!!!!

Dinner at La Teverna that evening:

Espresso and Big Pilot!

The next day I headed back to Central and on the Star Ferry again...............

I visited an AD that I have missed on my few previous trips.

This is a rare sight, GST Ti Rattrapante NOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are two divers that only several months ago where hard to find and I was told would only be available at boutiques.

Deep two...........

Galapagos:

The AD had a new IWC display:

I returned to TST and met a friend at the Flagship Boutique (can you guess who from his watch????!! LOL):

Finally, the Portuguese Hand Wind with Piaget movement, with Black dial:

This is really a very thin watch!!!!!!!!!!!

With the White dial (sadly, it was already bought and paid for by another collector!):

With Sing at the Flagship Boutique:

I couldn't resist seeing the BP PC RG again:

Here's also something you don't see often, this is a beautiful Black Buffalo BP straps without the SS rivets (I gotta get one of these because this one was already spoken for, you know who you are, LOL!):

Trio of BP's!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice to see the Inge Laureus is still available!

After the Flagship visit, Shing and i decided to have a Happy Hour GTG!!!!!!

Thanks for looking and stay tuned to Part 3 and final installment from this trip!

Nad,
I think you and Shing need to do a video blog a few times a year from the various boutiques and AD's in HK.
What better way for all of us to keep up with all the great timepieces circulating around!
Kommen Sie die artig wirken mit!

Nad, Great photos. Thanks for the pictures for the VT Laureus, I still think it is one of the nicest in the series.
Can't wait for part III.
Regards,
Kevin

PS Did you get to see Shing's apartment at the Boutique? LOL

I loved part I - part 2 had even more watches (and that really nice white dial super thin!!!).

I too could not resist putting Shing's Da Vinci Day / Month on my wrist, when last I saw him. It's a great watch!

Thanks for sharing Nad.

Best regards
Mark

What can I say -- it was fun !!!! Great meeting up again Nad.

There is currently another post/question about whether watches will appreciate in value - I don't know the definitive answer to that one, but I dare say the friendships forged through and in this forum - YES !

@ Kevin --- swing by and I will show you :)

I love these tours...and the wonderful IWC watch photos. I'll be haunting the site for Part III! Shing and you appeared to be having some seriously big fun at the Flagship Boutique!

Shing,

It now looks like I'll be heading to HK and Singapore in Oct, so I expect to visit the Boutique in HK, I'll knock on the door in the back of the store.

Yes Kevin - GREAT to hear ! I heard from our mutual friend. Looking forward to it.

Kevin,

October is also my usual schedule for HK.

I too heard from our mutual friend and hope to hop over to S'pore as well!!!!!

really enjoy these travelogues... keep them coming! regards, vinhthang
