    Mr. Wee is a legend in the watch industry. Great video and great insight and awesome watches. Love listening to other collectors tell their love affair with watches. Will definitely be visiting HK and Neuchatel. WatchBox needs a store in the West Coast, hopefully in Seattle! Please more videos like these. These videos are awesome!

      @@alectang1614 No doubt that tourists/travelers of all types make up a big portion of sales. The population of HK isn't otherwise big enough to drive that large of a share in the market. Tourists make up a large part of domestic Swiss sales (and even NYC and LA watch sales...).
