Back in the day, every cab driver in HK wore a Rolex President gold watch.
Visited HK in 2017 the number of high end jewelry shops with Rolex's on display, as well as other high end time pieces was impressive. Very prosperous city … I always shop Rolex to see what's new I've had mine for fifty years. Send it back to Rolex every five years, or so, and it comes back looking like new. The only part not replaced at one time or another is the internal movement. It's original.
