He was not Freddy on Friday night movie, he was one of the protestors in Mong Kok last night...live!
If you were in the riot last night in Mong Kok, what watches should you wear? It is quite complicated as things can change very quickly at the scene. Your watch has to be multifunctional and it has to be able to withstand pepper spray, hitting and flying objects.
G-Shock Mudmaster
The first watch
that comes to my mind is the G-shock Mudmaster. It is designed for extreme
environment. The dial has light function as you can turn on the small light
inside the dial at night. A G-shock is tough and the Mudmaster is even tougher.
It can prevent mud and dust from getting into the watch. It is around HK$3,500
and you can wear it in the middle of the battlefield. If in last night riot, it could become "bloodmaster"!
Leave the D-blue home, go out with the Black to Mong Kok.
The other one is
the Rolex Deep Sea. In the middle of a riot, there must be water spilling
everywhere. Or just liquid. The 3900m diver can easily withstand such tough
situations. 904L steel can withstand highly corrosive liquid. Also, the watch
is big enough for you to use it as a shield or a small weapon. And as last
resort, it can be used as a Capsule to be thrown into the mob, it can easily
kill ten people by its weight F=M.A
I call this Abalone Can
The Seiko Tuna Can
is another watch you can wear in the middle of a riot. It is even bigger than
the Rolex Deep Sea. It is tested to the depth of 4000m although it is supposed
to be water-resistant to 1000m. It is way cheaper than the Rolex Deep Sea but
it can also serve as a shield to any attack on your arm.
No question, this Omega is a tough guy, may should in Die Hard. 6.0
The Omega Ploprof
1200m is also a good choice. With its super chunky case, it is so heavy that
you can use it as a close-combat secret weapon. If you do not have a hammer,
the watch can serve as one. It is heavy, and 1200m water-resistant, making it
an ideal watch to wear in the middle of a riot.
Steel version for defend mode
Light weight Carbon composite Case and Ceramic Bezel for attack Mode
If you want to show
some class in the riot, wear the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Diver. Again, it is
big and chunky. It is a tough watch with a rubber strap. Although it is only
300m water-resistant, it is classier than the previously mentioned watches. If you
go for attack mode use the Carbon Composite one for light weight, if you want to
have the defend mode, use the stainless steel version.
Bombproof Triggerfish Bronze A2, watch only, not the Man wearing it!
Just in case there
is a bomb in the riot, the Triggerfish Bronze A2 watches created by
Kaventsmann can survive a bomb blast.
If you wear it on your wrist, it does not guarantee you are bombproof! Only the Watch!
This watch is claimed able to be rolled over by a 20 Tons Tank, I am sure this picture is before the test!
click the above link see how a watch could be tortured this way.
Of course, you can also choose the INOX by Victorinox. It is shock, water and temperature-resistant,
making it your perfect partner in a riot. It can stay perfect after being run
over by a 20-ton tank. It can also stand sulpheric acid. Well, I suppose you
will face an armored fighting vehicle and tear gas at worst?
The movement is hoisted up with tiny stainless steel wire.
Well, if the
abovementioned do not suit you, you may pick a Richard Mille. Any Richard Mille
will do as they are extremely shock-resistant. The first watch created for
Nadal was a study in stealth, with its deep black carbon composite case and
highly skeletonized movement is hanging by tiny stainless steel wires, should I call it WireCabloc?
in Grade
5 Titanium and LITAL® alloy weigh at mere 3.83 grams. Ever present on Nadal’s
wrist, this tourbillon epitomized the luxury of lightness in service to a
tennis legend.
Should you be a policeman
or a rioter, wear a RM to show that you do not worry about money. But if you
are a Police, I am sure you should be questioned by ICAC, if you are one of the
protectors, well, you must have been supported soundly by a financial strong syndicate.
These watches can
help you keep track with the time especially when you are in a riot in the
middle of the night. To know the time is important should you be a policeman or
a protestors.
Well, everyone is
staying, living in this place, stop all the violence, this isn’t a war zone!
It
is a peculiar to know for those to lead this and who organize this, what do you get out
of this?
