Hong Kong Watch Buying Strategy 20 18

As we all know, Hong Kong is a shopping paradise, especially the luxury goods here are loved by many people, and the watches here are even more famous, because many famous watches are made abroad, so they are very expensive at home.

But things bought in China and Hongkong are not so expensive, so many people will come here to buy watches. Then, let's take a look at the strategy of buying watches in Hong Kong!

Where can I buy a watch in Hong Kong? Where can I buy something cheaper?

There are many watch shops in Hong Kong, but they are mainly located in Hennessy Road, Jardine Matheson Street, Central and Nathan Road, from Tsim Sha Tsui to Mong Kok in Causeway Bay.

In addition, brand-name watches can be found in many large shopping centers and department stores, and many jewelry stores are also selling brand-name watches.

If the price is cheap, it is a cheap sales agent. The highest price and lowest price for buying watches in Hong Kong are in the order of brand store-shopping center -DFS global duty-free shop-designated authorized merchant-watch sales counter of jewelry store.

The price of the counter seems to be the lowest, but there are not many varieties and models, few choices and the price is not cheap. It is not recommended to go. The best choice is the shopping center, because it is the most cost-effective place to buy watches because of its rich forms, flexible prices and bargaining.

As a famous watch, the warranty is naturally very important.

Before buying a watch, please be sure to ask about the international warranty attached to the watch and whether you can enjoy the national (global) warranty. Because many overseas or overseas purchases are not recognized by domestic and foreign brand watch manufacturers, they are within the scope of national insurance.

If there is international guarantee, you can enjoy global warranty, but the warranty period usually does not exceed one year. Different brands have different after-sales management regulations, so it is best to explicitly ask for avoiding trouble.

Determine the brand and style you want to buy.

There are many brands of watches in Hong Kong, ranging from several million to several hundred yuan. Friends had better have a budget and what brand to buy. Then take pains to collect relevant information, such as the correct name, model and design features of the watch brand, which can be used as a shopping reference.

In addition, most international brands have websites, where you can log in to inquire about prices and information, or you can go to domestic counters for reference first, and then you can go straight to your destination when you arrive in Hong Kong!

Buy carefully

All the precision instruments we know need to be carefully tested. Therefore, when buying, you should also clearly understand all parts of the watch, including the shell, glass, pointer, handle, strap and other details. Quality problems must be clear, and there can be no flaws.

Check the guarantee and birth certificate.

In order to avoid buying fake watches, problem tables and second-hand watches, check the manufacturer's birth paper and ensure the supply. On the birth paper, there is the number and model of the watch. Check carefully whether the information on the bottom of the watch is consistent.

How much cheaper can Hong Kong watches be? We have some examples for reference.

According to the experience of collecting watches in Hong Kong, there will be a discount of about 30% for watches under 30,000.

According to our experience, the price difference between Hongkong and China Mainland is about 15%-25%, considering that the difference of the actual exchange rate is between 20% and 30%.

This is why "50% of watches in Hong Kong are sold to mainlanders" and why people from all walks of life in Hong Kong want to actively promote freedom of movement.

The locations of major watch banks in Hong Kong are as follows:

Causeway Bay is the traditional business district of Hong Kong. This is the only way for Hong Kong. Take the Hong Kong Island Line subway and get off at Causeway Bay Station.

Central is the financial center of Hong Kong, the old administrative center in the colonial era and the landmark building of Hong Kong, so it is also a famous tourist attraction and a place where famous brands are concentrated. The table lines are as follows:

The old railway station (West Bell Tower) is one of the largest shopping centers in Hong Kong. Howell, Athens and other places have shops. Sambo watches are well managed by Glasgow, Baoji and Athens.

How to wear a watch after buying it.

If you are willing to pay taxes, you can take as much as you want. According to the customs regulations, everything over 5000 yuan must be declared, and they will make random checks. When you enter the customs, you'd better wear your watch on your hand. If you wear long-sleeved clothes, you can wear them with both hands.

It's not a big problem for an individual to use one or two. Separate the boxes. If you don't mind, you'd better throw it away or let the watch shop post it for you. If it is unfortunately discovered by the customs, there are three results: 1, pay the tax according to the price on your purchase documents, that is, pay the tax on your goods to the same level as in China;

2. Pay taxes according to the price approved by the customs, which is often on the high side; 3. Confiscation. But generally speaking, if you don't bring much, the probability of being found is less than 10%. If you don't act like a thief.

There are two kinds of discounts for buying watches: official discount and acquaintance discount.

When you go to Hong Kong to buy a watch, as long as you go to a watch shop, there will be corresponding discounts, and there are two kinds of official discounts and acquaintance discounts. In recent years, brands have started to regulate the market, and discounts are basically set by brands. The more popular brands are, the worse the discounts are!

Sometimes you go to great lengths to talk about discounts with the watch bank, and the watch bank is unmoved. In fact, it's not that the watch bank doesn't want to sell it to you, but that it doesn't dare to violate the rules set by the brand. Therefore, you can only get a better discount if you are introduced by regular customers.

What is acquaintance discount? VIP customers of table banks can generally enjoy lower discounts, that is, customers introduced through VIP can enjoy lower discounts, which is what we call acquaintance discounts.

Knowing this, I believe it will save a lot of money and be more convenient to travel to Hong Kong this Mid-Autumn National Day! Coupled with the recent high-speed rail in Hong Kong, it is more convenient for everyone to shop in Hong Kong!
