Vanity drives us going for Rolex?

Vanity drives us going for Rolex!?

Vanity can add significant value to a product, and this "Vanity factor" affects the prices of the cars we drive, the wine we drink, the shoes we wear, the pen we write with and of course the WATCH we wear!

To many people, the function of a watch is to tell time — and that's it.

If a watch that costs HKD$100,000 or more, is a terrible investment to this type of consumer.

"How much am I paying?" and "What am I getting for it?" are the two most important questions investors must ask themselves before making such a purchase.

The concept seems simple enough. However, personal views on functionality can greatly skew the value and demand of a product or investment.

A fair amount of research supports the existence the factor of vanity.

For instance, if you were to give two groups of people the same wine, but told one group that their wine was expensive, that group would automatically perceive the wine as tasting better.

But to others, a Rolex is a status symbol that is completely worth the cost. Than is more than Vanity factor for us to buy such a watch.

If you were to ask a random sample of Rolex users to rate their attractiveness, they would give themselves a higher average rating than would owners of any other watch. Likewise, a Rolex user is more likely to identify him as "high-maintenance."

Of course, owning a Rolex doesn't make you vain; it's just that a higher number of vanity-driven consumers have been drawn to the product as a result of its function as a status symbol.

The success and failure of some of the world class Companies and their products: Toyota, Apple, Motorola And Rolex

The success and failure of some of the world class Companies and their products: Toyota, Apple, Motorola And Rolex

Toyota and Lexus

Toyota had built up a very successful product with the application of Taguchi Quality campaign in the 60s and gradually Toyota made itself a very successful company. Name of Toyota represents Good Quality.

“There were a Toyota broke down at the middle of the desert highway and someone from the Toyota was asking the passing-by cars for Help. No car stop to help as they said this is a Robbery plot as Toyota car never fail!” that was a successful TV Advertisement program for Toyota.

1989, Toyota formed another Company, another product line of Lexus.

The first model was LS400, It was successfully as they built an independent Sales and marketing office and position this is a hi end Lexus. And This is not Toyota.

1989 Lexus LS-400, still we can see some of them are running on the Road!

Apple and Pineapple

News and Rumour about the Low cost version of iPhone 5C. (C stands for CHEAP!?)

In Short if Apple wants this iPhone 5C to be successful, they have to be marketed by a separate company name with Pineapple or Durian.  That if they sell by Apple store under Apply marketing campaign, That Apple will follow Motorola and come to end dead end!  I suggest Apply use “Pineapple” as the second product Line! As Apple iPhone has been built up the Phone of Hi technical, exquisite tools as a Class of Hi End Phone. If they sells low end Cheap Phone, that would be walking away from What Steve Jobs had planned back in 28 June 2007, the first day they launched the very First iPhone 2G.

The Apple iPhone 5C?

Motorola Razr II and ULC handphone

In 2005 Motorola planned to make the World SLC headphone, (SLC stands for Super low cost targeted to be selling at USD$20.00 for Indian and Southern America market)

And after when 50 million U.S. Dollars facilities and equipment, marketing team reported that the market of the ULC was actually does not exist for Motorola, and In fact at that time Nokia had had a low cost hand phone which has a B/W LCD display, having all the SMS and basic phone call function, price target was about US$25. Whereas Motorola ULC hand phone was intended to use i-Dot display, with a unique pattern of display that was hardware fixed. And I think they have made less than 5,000 units sending to market like India and Latin America as samples testing the market, but the comment was very negative. The program was dissolved, they found that No one would like to use the Low Cost handphone as the name itself reflect the user is also a “poverty class!” The Only Successful Motorola is early Star Tac II and Razr.

From Left, My Motorola Star Tac II LED display and Star Tac II LCD, Note II LTE, HTC One... Star TAC II was selling HKD$14,800 in 1991

Rolex and Tudor

Unveiled in 1946 by Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf, the Tudor collection was originally branded with a shield that contained a decorative rose, a symbol of the English Tudor dynasty. The Tudor Oyster Prince as the first Tudor First model, boasted waterproof cases and self-winding movements, and the line was cast as the more rough-and-tumble member of the Rolex family, with advertisements showing men in extreme sport or work scenarios. However, Tudor is living in the shadow of Rolex for years and was not proved successful, or I should say Rolex is too successful comparing with Tudor.

Priced as one third of Rolex, Tudor earned a name of “poor people’s Rolex in 80s Hong Kong!’ and most of us would buy Rolex as the second, after they got the Tudor, such as Dutch friend Hens hanged banner on his Volkswagen Beetle “My Second car is Porsche!”

Tudor timepieces are produced alongside Rolex watches in Switzerland, but they're assembled with more affordable ETA Swiss watch movements rather than the movements made in-house at Rolex.

In 1989, Tudor has been spinoff as Tudor not using Rolex’s case, Crown, and Strap. So it is building up its unique image, and recently you can see that they are totally new bleed of watch with Bold and sleek design not as conserved as Rolex design.

So the new marketing strategy of Tudor is Right, they have own marketing plan, product line that is out of the Box of Rolex design.  Different line, different branding, different direction, Both Rolex and Tudor would be successful.

New opening of two storey Rolex Boutique at Hong Kong International Airport’s Central Departure Hall Atrium.

                      Rolex AD at HKIA Departure Hall Atrium, taken by Samsung Note II 0725 27 Aug 2013

To compete with downtown Hong Kong retailing and the increasingly high profile fashion offers at other hub airports in South East Asia such as Louis Vuitton in Incheon Airport, Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) has awarded Rolex and Chanel separate licenses to build spectacular, iconic standalone two-storey luxury boutiques at the airport.

These new ‘mega boutiques’ will be located on either side of Hong Kong International Airport’s Central Departure Hall Atrium, which most departing passengers must pass to reach their flight gates.

This is a new landmark in HK airport and these two shops Rolex and Chanel will be landmarks.

The two double-storey luxury brand shops will both be the same size in area, with 500sq m of retail floor space in total and the sales area on each storey covering 250sq m.

There is an internal staircase going up to the upper level.

The introduction of the two new stores is part of AAHK’s determined effort to ensure that Hong Kong Airport’s retail offer matches the location's reputation as a shopping paradise.

It also believes that the opening of the new shops in the airport next year will provide a sensational new look to HKIA’s departure areas – yes of course, I had been there Today, and I saw a lot of attractive staff there to help you.

There is no doubt that the opening of Louis Vuitton’s first airport shop in the world at Incheon Airport last September raised the bar for Asian airport operators looking to lure Mainland Chinese transit passengers – with that store’s daily turnover reaching an average of round $300,000 a day at one point.

This Rolex Shop opened on 24 Aug. has almost all the Watches you need to see, to consider and to buy!  Today, When I asked they have no GMT master II Ref 116710 BLNR Today. May be next week! Who knows!?

Price wise, for sure there is no more than 5% discount.

The shop is running my Dickson Watch and jewellery, which is one of the renowned retail watch store in Hong Kong.

Next time make sure you can leave HKIA earlier one hour and spend the time there shopping!

Well, soon the man will walk to the right and the woman to the left. Right for Rolex and left for Chanel!

---The wife bought me a new Rolex watch for my 40th birthday.. Do you like it? she asked.. "it’s great!" I replied "it will remind me of your pussy.." She laughed "is this because it’s exclusive and sexy?" I replied "No, it’s a bit loose around the wrist!"

 

---An old American Man is Dying.

He calls his son to his bedside. “Son, I want you listen to me. I Want you take my Chrome plated .38 Revolver so you will always remember me.”

“You listen to me, Boy, someday you going to be running some business, you are going to have a beautiful wife, lots of money, a bog home and may be a few Ferrari,”

Someday somehow you soon come home and may be you find your wife in bed with another chap!

What are you going to do then?” Point to your watch and say, “Time’s Up?”

How Much Gold you think your Rolex Day Date President Ref 1803 contain?

The solid gold Rolex watch is really a thing of beauty though many people especially younger does not like the Yellow Gold, they say too much, too bling, overdo… as my opinion; well,  Gold is the ultimate precious metal to make watch. Probably I am old enough to wear that, as many people criticize wearing a gold Rolex looks Fuddy-Duddy. Anyway, many people think differently, I like it as it is the REAL THING!

The typical gents Rolex President looks rather impressive due to its obvious mass and weight not to mention the price tag that goes with it.  Did you ever really wonder what the actual gold value is in a Rolex President? Below we have taken an 18kt. gold Rolex Ref 1803 and have removed the movement, the crystal, O-rings, and other non-gold parts. We weighed each part using a handheld electronic balance. We are sure you will find the results very interesting.

These are the basic component parts of the Rolex. The band, the bezel ring that holds the crystal in place, the main case, and the case back.

Inside of the case back you will see that it is marked as being 18kt. It also has the decimal value of .750. This means that 75 percent of the weight is pure gold. Pure gold is 24kt. The pure gold is alloyed with silver, copper, and zinc. Also notice the official Rolex markings on the inside of the case back.

The clasp is also marked with the gold content as well as being marked with the Rolex logo. There is also a number that is the official part number for this band. This band has the bark finish.

This is the head or case ring of the Rolex. It is also marked 18kt. A genuine Rolex case will also have a Registered Design number engraved between the lugs at the 12 position. In this case, the number is 1803. Between the lugs at the 6 position you will find the serial number of the case.

Assuming 99.99 pure gold price of HKD$350 a gram as of Today for a reference.

Using these parts the actual gold value of this Rolex can be determined as follows.

-- Case ring weights 18.5 grams. Contains 13.875 grams of pure gold. It has a value of $4,856.25

--Case back weighs 7.21 grams. Contains 5.4075 grams of pure gold. It has a value of $1,892.625

--Bezel weighs 5.30 grams. Contains 3.975 grams of pure gold. It has a value of $1,391.25

--The bracelet weighs 68.85 grams including the two pins. Contains 51.6375 grams of pure gold. It has the most value at $18,073.125

The total value of the pure 24kt. gold in this Rolex President Ref 1803 is $26,213.25

What is enough for you to make you happy!?

Rolex GMT Master II Ref 116759 40MM 18KT White Gold with a lot of Sands

What is enough for you to make you happy!?

One old wiser asked me what is enough for you to make you happy? All in sudden, it was a bit hard to reply him, well, I am not an Unhappy guy as far as I know.  But I do more some worry about the one I know, Daughter’s study, wives health, the company that may ask me to leave as they thought my salary is too high or he thought using half of my salary could possible hire a younger guy by half the age of mine.  Somehow I think you should be happier if you could

1. Make some exercise

You might have seen some talk recently about the scientific 7 minute workout mentioned in The New York Times. So if you thought exercise was something you didn’t have time for, maybe you can fit it in after all.

2. Sleep at 11:00 or earlier, our liver starts to work at 11:00, so it is time for us to sleep, but I had hard time to force myself to sleep, But I am trying…

3. Spend time with friend and family

4. Help others

5. Practice smile everyday

6. Plan a trip for vacation

7.  Meditate – rewire your brain for happiness

8.  Practice gratitude – increase both happiness and life satisfaction

9. Listen to music you like

I think it is healthy for you to listen to some of the best music you like, does not matter what kind of music but not Heavy Metal or Rock music , Light music, Classic music would be better.

10. Got to have some hobby

It would be pity that there is no hobby for man like you, or your hobby is earning money that is fine too!

If you think earning money is your hobby, go ahead, anything that could spend your time, explore your exposure to your friend, having some target in your life could help you to feel better especially you could achieve the preset target.

I have a few hobbies and I am very happy to enjoy the process of the collection, and not necessary the result of the found target collection item.

I collect Watches, fountain Pen, Vinyl of the 50s and 60s. vacuum tubes, DIY on my HI FI system, practicing fountain pen Calligraphy. Gathering with friend who are having similar hobby, watch collection also drive me to go out for window shopping, checking price of various Rolex watch in different shops in Ap Liu Street, Sham Shui Po ,  and through the past three years I start to love Blogging. It would be great fun as I can express my idea in watch collection, I learn more about watch, I know a lot of friend through the blogs.

Friends collect Stamps, some of them collect tin toys, some collects old books, old Chinese Furniture, Chinese Jade, and many other kinds of article for collections. I Like cars too, and I have to buy Ferrari one day, of course I just want to drive one, I am not Jay Leno who has 190 cars nor the Sultan of Brunei’s Garage collection of 7,000 Vehicles.

What a great fun could be is the process of collection

Watch friend asks me what is my next target, and seems that I could sometimes could not figure out what is the next target, the fact is my salary is well distributed to different receivers when the pay day comes. What kind of money I could still be used for the next Target. But my process of watch buying slow down gradually as when you have had some watches, the next buy would be more expensive, or more collectible, now I have to talk to myself to Cool down a bit when I see an attractive watch, and ask myself Why should I buy this? As If you do not think this way, you will keep on buying and even not have time to wear the watch at all.

And I always talk to friend, start your own blog if you like writing, it could be one of your way to kill time after works, and it may also a means to increase your income! Blogging is now one of my latest hobbies.

It drives me to read more books, more magazine, internet searching and verification on the information

I find before I could blog it.

Anyway, enjoy what you are having, enjoy your hobby, keep it a way to make you happy. Life could be so much of fun if you could use up you time in making yourself happy.

“What do you mean?” The lawyer asked.

“You did not find that nothing below your arm? Your are severing your arm!” Policeman said hysterically loud!

I would have no hesitation to buy a Rolex, as it would be going with me all time! If you do not mind, wear it to comfort room, cinema, even sleeping, it would have any problem as it is strong and sturdy.  Buying a Rolex Day Date such as Ref 1803, 18038, 18049, 19018, 19019 or even Ref 18346 would cause you all the money.  Still have some money for you and your beloved one to sleep in this fantastic room under water.

Wearing Rolex isn’t materialized, spending 2.5 Million to sleep with Some beauty is!?

Noodles, Copper Wires, Clock and Watch

Noodles, Wire, Clock and Watch…

Noodle and Spaghetti
When Chinese met Italian: Noodle and Spaghetti, which was supposed to be invented earlier!?

Over the years, there has been a lot of argument of who invented the Spaghetti, someone said Marco Polo went to China saw how Chinese made the noodles and he brought this into Italy create 

Spaghetti.

Well, China has noodle some 4,000 years ago as we used to eat nozzle*1 and rice, more noodle for Chinese in the North and more rice I S, And there is a Italian Cuisine expert came out to say let's stop the argument, let's assume Both Chinese and Italian invented the Noodle and Spaghetti at same time.

It is OK for Italian but may not be agreed by Chinese… anyway…

                                         China first Found Noodles 4,000 years ago

Copper wire and Wireless

When a Chinese Monk visit Rome some 700 years ago, he met a Roman, who had told him Italian has underground copper wire which is used to transmit electricity from Florence to Rome, the Monk said quite humbly that “ I am sorry that we  do not have this technology in China, we have only Wireless!”*2

The Roman was desperately not happy with the Chinese’s Reply, and he asked, we used to have mechanical Clock century ago while you Chinese still looking at Sun rise sunset for time.

The Chinese Monk then said, Yi Xing, a Buddhist monk, made the first model of a mechanical clock in 725 AD. This clock operated by dripping water that powered a wheel which made one full revolution in 24 hours. An iron and bronze system of wheels and gears made the clock turn. This system caused the chiming of a bell on the hour. It was two more centuries before the first mechanical clock was developed in Europe.

The Roman was speechless!

                           First Mechanical Clock invented by Chinese.

Remark*1

October 12, 2005—A 4,000-year-old bowl of noodles unearthed in China is the earliest example ever found of one of the world's most popular foods, scientists reported today. It also suggests an Asian—not Italian—origin for the staple dish.

The beautifully preserved, long, thin yellow noodles were found inside an overturned sealed bowl at the Lajia archaeological site in northwestern China. The bowl was buried under ten feet (three meters) of sediment.

"This is the earliest empirical evidence of noodles ever found," Houyuan Lu of Beijing's Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The scientists determined the noodles were made from two kinds of millet, a grain indigenous to China and widely cultivated there 7,000 years ago. Modern North American and European noodles are usually made with wheat.  

Remarks *2

Back in 4,000 years ago we used fire to tell distant area on the mountain to send message. Is that Classified as “Wireless?

PS

This is just a joke created by me, not to hurt the Chinese or Italian Relationship and we had been having very long and good relationship with Italian, we eat good noodle in Spaghetti House nowadays and Italian eat big yummy Wanton Noodles anywhere in the world running by Hong Kong Chef.
