Rolex DateJust with the Rarest Dial of Lapis Azuli Dial, with Bubble Diamond and the Most LUCKY model No. 16233...more...






What can you buy with HKD$60,000 for A Rolex?
Probably an Explorer II, a Submariner, a Stainless steel Date Just, of a Milgauss Green Glass!

Can you buy a Two Tone Rolex? I'm sorry, you have to pay a bit more.

Can
you buy a Lapis Azuli dial with diamond? Well, I do not think so!
Nowaday, a Date Just 36mm men Two tone with 10 diamond on MOP Ref 116234 list price is $92,200.


Well, this is what, NOS Rolex Ref 16233 men 36mm Date Just Two Tone Yellow gold and steel, with Lapis Blue diamond, Jubilee Strap, How much!? HKD$72,950 list price.... before the "Discount!"

This is a discontinued item still using the old price. There was two sold alreay in this year and Still have three left...

People know Lapis blue know what they are and if you think this is not the most value for money Rolex we can buy today, tell me what else would be!

Being a Chinese who does not like this Ref 16233!?? nice model number!  The Colour of the Lapis Blue dial is unique. No wonder Dala Lama like Lapis Blue Dial Rolex!

Check when stock still last in one of the Rolex AD....!

Likely this is the best value purchase for a NOS discontinued Rolex Date in Hong Kong.

Ref 16223 Discontinued Date Just Lapis Blue Dial
Note that the dials are all different in Colour

Ref 116233 Current Production Date Just Onyx Dial

Many people including me have concern on when the next Rolex price adjustment!

Rumour was to increase before the Chinese New Year but it wasn't... and now it seems that it will happen after the Chinese New year? Who know?

What if there is a watch which is still selling the price of 2006 in Shop of Rolex Authorized Dealer, and that is a brand new Rolex of very special dial?

Is that possible? Yes, there are, and these are good stuff if you are not those few people who are so sensitive to Chinese superstitions on colour "Blue"! “難撈”

I find out there are three rare gems in one of the Rolex AD shop in Hong Kong today...

They discontinued since 2006 and has been lying in the shops are years, just because it was blue dial?

But do you know the materials for the dial is Lapis Blue, a kind of beautiful stone, the process of making such kind of dial is tedious and I believe Rolex does not produce many of this kind.... At least I can not see it on many models of Rolex.

The process of turning a piece of raw stone into a piece of Rolex gem dial including inspection of the stone for the best part with even colour and pattern of uniqueness.

Then cut it to the thickness of not more than 0.5 mm and lap to the right precise thickness under a lapping machine. And drill then hole for mounting the diamond at 6, and 9 hour index. Make another square hole for the date at 3 position and at last drill a hole for the Rolex crown.

The yield of making this beautiful dial is very low as 30% and I think it takes a least 10 man hour to produce one of this dial.
Now what if you can buy this great beauty Ref 16233 at 2006 price of HKD$72,950.
This new price of 116233 standard without and. Diamond and Lapis Blue dial has been in the range of HKD$72,500.

And this is a two tone watch with 18KT solid jubilee strap and bezel.

I can say this is the best deal in town for a new Rolex, is you do not mind " blue" colour. After standard 5% discount will be HKD$69,302. If you are lucky enough to get a VIP discount with additional discount? Of course, so long when the stock lasts... Do not miss this chance after these treasure was uncovered.

If you want a newer model of current production on Onyx dial, the price is HKD$94,700 of course the difference is a current production model has a new design strap with hidden clasp deployment. And a Better Feeling of New Production Watch that is it... But I am sure that the Lapis blue is a kind of specialty.

Remember a solid yellow gold Lapis Blue submariner Ref 116110LN had reached a hammer price of HKD$730,000 in 2012 auction. And the dream fountain pen so produced between 1929 to 1939 is Waterman Patrician in "Turquoise". "Lapis Blue" and "Turquoise"; the kind of magic charms of a fascinating colour!
