Above is young engineer's Sea-Dweller Ref 16600 (Year 2000)
Below is my Submariner Ref 16800 (Year 1982)
A Young engineer was asking me buying a Rolex since May last
year and he had limited budget like HK$30K
And a while I sold him a full set Explorer II 16570 white
dial, and he was jumping away with gratitude after wearing that watch.
Once in a while I met him in and he said the watch is running
perfect and he loves it…
Two day ago he came to me saying that ”Paul, I have to leave, because your Rolex had
helped me working in another new company… I said WHY as we are in a World No.
greatest Company!
He said he had been thinking of changing new job, new opportunity
he is not quite a style of a R&D engineer and would like to change to be a
sales person. So he went for an interview... in a Public Listed Technology company….
While he said down and not too long later, the interviewing manager spotted his Rolex and asked ” Wow, you are wearing a Rolex? “
While he said down and not too long later, the interviewing manager spotted his Rolex and asked ” Wow, you are wearing a Rolex? “
He said yes, this is a simple Explorer II… The guy said, “No,
it is not simple. Every Rolex carries a Story… and He was wearing a Yacht
master II…. And they kept talking about his experience and the interviewer
about the job offer, FINALLY… He got a new job in this Company, as a sales
Manager station in China.
The Manager then invited the Rolex Gang to see him… The CEO
wears a Day-Date in white Gold, The Chairman wears a DeepSea D blue….
My Colleagues talked to me, that was a wonderful experience to
have such an interview and he said these few people is Rolex Lovers… and now he
is…
Well, He asked for an upgraded and I got back his Explorer
II and I passed him this Sea-Dweller 16600..
He runs away and I believe this new young man one day will
come to be as an Important Asian Collector of Rolex!
