Rolex Display in Rolex Shop

When you go to Rolex AD, what kind of watches you can see most?

What I can say is Date Just as this is the best seller!

What kind of material is the most commonly seen in display? I think it is Yellow Gold!

How about the Sport model, there is limited number of Submariner, Stainless steel GMT Master, Yacht Master, Daytona stainless steel may have one White and one Black Dial, and one DeepSea.

That is why most of the younger generation would like to buy GMT Master II and Submariner black Ref 116610LN. Needless to say the Green Bezel and Green Dial Ref 116610LV would be the one everyone is looking for…as the green bezel Ref 16610LV has been discontinued.

As for expensive Gold model like Day Date, you can see only 10% is White Gold or Platinum as there is market driven especially this is Chinese Society, most of the people wear a Rolex s  expecting some kind of recognition from other People. A White gold Day Date may be more expensive than a Yellow Gold but it looks like “stainless steel” only fraction of people could tell, as “Day Date” does not come with Stainless steel and in fact White Gold looks WHITE and whilst Stainless steel looks a bit GREY.

How about the Dial colour, this is almost like the picture I took in one of the largest Rolex AD in HK yesterday, We can see Yellow gold champagne dial, white or black, nothing more!
Again this is Rolex Marketing and most of the people like to go for Gold Champagne dial as for it mixes well with the same colour case, and looks very GOLD… and Very Rolex.
Chinese Like yellow Gold Rolex.
Except the new generation younger Chinese big spenders are now looking for Pink or Rose Gold Rolex. But it really looks a bit Feminine to me. Except Daytona Pink Gold, it is beautiful.

So next time what dial colour you would like to Choose!?

As if you want to go for Pre-owned shop, I really Suggest Luen Shing, Kuen Kee as they have their own shops, You know the rent in HK is sky high and they have sell more for the rent. and They have 30 years of Business history!!

Hi, I'm looking for a 16613 Blue Dial late series with box and papers.

Do u know how much they'll cost? And where to get them please? Thanks.

HK Snob said...

Hi Yo yo,
I have seen 16613 Blue in Luen Shing with paper no box at HKD$56,000.00!
you can find some of these beautiful watch as HK Chinese does not like Like Blue as due to Supertition, but I like them very much and it is worth to buy with this price. You can find from these shops Luen Shing, Kuen Kee and Kwan Yan... They should have.

Dear Diana
Stella dial Rolex is the holy grail of all Rolex.
Super rare!
Price wise, it depends, 36mm and 26 mm are different size that we cannot compare.
It is hard to find too, but if I were a finery lady a 26mm is also wonderful choice
Well, I saw one 26mm solid gold CORAL dial Rolex Date Just... it is one of the best choice for lady

not cheap for a Rolex, but very cheap for a Coral!
