Union Classic Watch & Clock (Hong Kong)

Union Classic Watch & Clock is located at Kimberley Rd. in the Champagne Court, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Beside Mira hotel

They sell new/preowned watches. They carry and extensive collection of watches. Though some say that prices are somewhat high, hard to deal(haggle) and don't expect first class customer service unless you know the people there.


These are some of the watches on display (I estimate that these were half of what they had in the store that time) PRICES ARE IN HK DOLLARS. 

ROOs, Jaw dropping to see that many watches.



Extensive collection of Pams

Some vintage Rolex


, It's worth visiting this area just beside Mira hotel. There are more than 10 stores in this area. Worth a visit if you are in Hong Kong even just to take a look.

Parnis 44mm Submersible Modded

This is my first modded watch. It's a Parnis Submersible homage. Automatic movement by Seagull. My friend did the Bead blasting and the painting of the bezel.

Steps in Modding the Watch

1. Disassemble the watch and tape the glass and pearl lume on the bezel.



2. Remove movement
Keep in a clean container, you don't want dust to go into the movement

Ready for Bead Blasting
Bead blasting finished.
Before and after

Bezel Painted

Tool Watch
The results are amazing. It has transformed the watch into something new/different. Also I'm amazed that my Parnis Homage has good water resistance.(Hand wash, Shower) I've also seen an UN-modded submersible be used for swimming but the gaskets were lubed properly.

If you live in the Philippines and looking for Homages search ebay.ph or Sulit.com Search for Parnis. You can get one for a reasonable price.
