How much are you
willing to pay to be extraordinary? I am talking about your watches. A Rolex
Daytona is not rare scenery in Hong Kong. You can see a lot of people wearing
the same watch in the MTR or in the restaurant you dine in. When two men walk
past each other on the street in Hong Kong, the battle starts instantly. The
battle is about your looks, which are based on your clothes, your sneakers and
most importantly, your watch. To become superior, going gold may well be your
choice.
Here are some of
HKWF’s recommendations of the Rolex Daytona – not in stainless steel
1.
Rolex
116508 Green Dial
The new 2016 Rolex yellow
gold Daytona will leave you breathless and your potential competitors
impressed. The watch has a very sharp sunburst green dial with red accents next
to every hour marker. Also, the sub-dials are surrounded by red rings which
complement with the green color very well. With the color of Rolex on a yellow
gold Rolex cult icon that now has the accuracy rate of +2/-2 per day, what more
can you ask for? It also has a new-style tachymeter bezel that has been used
only on rose gold, white gold and Daytonas of precious metals on straps. To get
one green dial 116508, you have to have around HKD200k. It will be worth your
money.
2.
Used yellow
gold 16528
Do not want to pay
a premium for a yellow gold Rolex? No
Problem. At below 150kHKD, you can always
find a 16528
ellow gold Daytona in good condition. It has a movement
modified
from the famous Zenith El Primero movement and
has less shiny sub-dials than
the newer 116528.
On the wrist, from
a layman’s view, it looks like you are wearing a 200k+ Daytona.

Rolex
116515 (new or used)
Want a ceramic
bezel but want it not on the new steel 116500ln? The rose gold 116505 may well
be your choice. As the ref has been out there for quite some time, you can get
a bnib 116505 with some discounts or get a used one at a fairly reasonable and
affordable price. What you are getting is a rose gold Daytona with a brown ceramic bezel on a nicely made
alligator strap. The price? Bnib 116515 costs you around 160k HKD while used
ones cost you around 120k-130K HKD.
5.
Used
Rolex 116509
Afraid of yellow
gold? Want something more understated? You should get your hands on any used
Rolex white gold 116509 Daytona. It will cost you around 140kHKD. If you want
to impress, do try to save up for the diamond paved dial. Your watch will shine
like a star under any proper lighting.
Some of us always
hold a negative attitude towards yellow gold watches. However, a yellow gold
watch is always there to catch your attention. If you can afford one, it is
never a bad thing to wear one.
