Older people tends to go for Day Date? Why!?

我亦明白好多人接受唔到18KT金錶個種 "金橙橙" 的金色,尤其是勞力土的色和AP 不大一樣。


當我年纪越大,對金色又會產生一種有些少想尋找過去 "金碧輝煌" 的日子。有時手痕要戴黄金十八K的勞力士。

但有時又想平淡,低調,那白金或袋中有多餘的零錢買隻鉑金的 Ice blue, which 連狗牙圈都欠奉的呢!

以下是另一個有錢人鐘情Day Date 的看法。

A tribute to Rolex Day Date White Gold Watch


Rolex Day Date Ref 18049
I bought this watch in 2009 with HKD$105,000, I used it  almost every day as my work horse to business trip, meeting customer, bosses, colleagues, friends, even going Hiking.
It is so much beautiful, durable and until July 2013, friend of mind asked me to sell this watch to him, the final deal was HKD$120,000

Conclusion
Good Watch, after wearing for 4 years still I can make some money….
The Sketch was drawn at this Airport Lounge…not too good but I have nothing to do as the WiFi was too slow for me to browse mails…

Rolex Day Date Dial, fasinative colour, Red, Blue, Green, Grey, Orange...etc


Modified from the courtesy Photographs at Rlx-dd wordpress

Rolex Day Date Ref 1803
That is a way we had mentioned that there is fun to collect Ref 1803 as that was the so far a joyful watch for everyone who had experienced 1967 Hong Kong Riot, HKCR Lam Bun was burnt to death live by Kerosene in his Volkswagen Beetle.

There are many “home-made Pineapples” (bombs) along Prince Edward Road. You could a flat of 600 square feet with a Rolex Day Date. 1973 Financial crisis Hang Seng index dropped to 173 points and many people suicided, 1981 that the prime rate for mortgage is 20%. 1997 Asian Economy melt down…Real Estate shot up to sky high 30,000 point.

Sales personnel ate Shark fin stewed with Rice at lunch. But all it goes up must come down, by end of the year, many more people get Bankruptcy…

Only one thing is Rolex Watches , always being criticized is BEST, especially Rolex Day Date, Ref 1803. As it carried as many as 43 colour dial, and some are with diamond some are having diamond on bezel, more collectible is those made of Platinum and White gold, we had tried to put as many as 43 colour and design variation and combination of dial.

A few friends of mine in HK would have been saving a lot of them, one of them already got about 15 pcs and still have a lot of to go. I hope one day he can save up all Ref 1803 Colour dial.

I think there should be more like using some gem, wood fossil to make the dial. There should have more than 43 colour combination.… How comes I could not see "Yellow"?
Let’s find out more!

Bo Derek and Jenny Derek, Rolex Ref 1805 and Ref 118206


 Bo Derek

Rolex Day Date Ref 1805 Platinum


Rolex Ref 1805 Vs Ref 118206, Bo Derek Vs Jenny Derek
When I was young, Bo Derek was one of the girls that often appeared in dreams.
When I was young Ref 1805 was not the watch that I could afford, it was selling at least HKD$18,000 in 1967.

Nowadays, when my capability in earning improved a lot, yet still could not afford to buy the Latest Rolex Day Date Ref 118206 HKD$430,000. They are the beauty of two era, Bo Derek in the 70’s and Jenny Derek, daughter of Bo is the super beauty of nowadays…

Jenny Derek


Rolex Ref 118206 Day Date in Platinum

When we try to co-related these two beauties, Bo and Jenny, I think of Rolex Day Date Ref 1805 and
Ref 118206  As they have the same gene, a Rolex Tradition of watch making, an illustration of Sport excellence, and class of Platinum expression!

What Matters Most is Material of Dial and The Case for the True Value of A Day Date

What Really Matter for Vintage Rolex is Colour of the Dial and Material for the Watch!
That is to our experience that the Colour of the dial, material of the dial and material of the Watch would determine the price of the Watch.
It is hard to point out the price of the watch and the material of the watch would draft a rough price level of it.
Platinum, very little of production, very high price!
White gold, much lesser than Yellow gold, but more than Platinum, middle price level
Yellow gold, a lot. Lower price
Dial, Lapis Blue with good gold dust distribution, highest price,
Then we can have African Mahogany, Birch, Oak, Stella Red, green blue…etc

Attached is Rolex Ref 18238 Yellow Gold with Aventurine dial, in mint condition, price HKD$130,000.
The one on right is my daily work horse now as my Ref 19049 Was sold already, OK as I made some profit after using for four years. See! What a good investment by buying Vintage Rolex Day Date!?

Love Is Blue



Add caption
 

Sad Story: handbag and Ashes 
I'm really sorry to hear that story. People can be so evil.
A story was on the news about a thief who stole an old ladies handbag and the old lady kept her husbands’ ashes in the handbag. The police did news reports and newspapers printed articles asking whoever stole the handbag to return the ashes but the thief never returned the handbag or ashes. The old lady died not long after it happened! 
Top 1 happy career
From one recent Australian survey, the best career that most people like and feel that they will feel great and happy is:
1. Pastor
2. Fireman
3. Physiotherapist
Well , I am sure that is not the choice of most HK people to be a Pastor, Probably HK people like to be work as Lawyer, Doctor and Investment manager, no one like to work as  Fireman and Pastor! That may be the least preferred job for People of HK, as HK people rate Money is the first important factor for job selection, second is Money.
But that is not the fault of the people, it is the City, and the society, hope that that is some of the imperfect side of this City. 
Blue
I Like Blue since I was very Young, and Blue may us feel warmth in Winter, and joy in Spring.,
Blue Personalities aren’t sad people, they are very love caring individuals who avoid conflicts.
They always care the feeling of others, but somehow they might be a bit satisfied with their comfort zone and sluggish to be more aggressive.
Blue Danube
The Blue Danube is the common English title of An der schönen blauen Donau, Op. 314 (German for By the Beautiful Blue Danube), a waltz by the Austrian composer Johann Strauss II, composed in 1866. Originally performed 15 February 1867 at a concert of the Wiener Männergesangsverein), it has been one of the most consistently popular pieces of music in the classical repertoire.
Blue Moon
Songwriters: Rodgers, Richard / Hart, Lorenz Blue Moon
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon
You know just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for 
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the Moon it turned to gold 
Blue Moon
Now I'm no longer alone,
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked the Moon had turned to gold
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

Another version is Blue Moon played by Bert Kaempfert, was once my best favourite Ring tone I recorded directly from Record into my Handset.
Love Is Blue was once the most Popular hit light music in 1968.. Played by Paul Mauriat (1925-2006) he was one of my light music favourite composer, his favourite music was “Love Is Blue”, “El Bimbo”, “Penelope”…
Lapis Blue and Rolex Day Date Lapis Blue Dial,
I had always had a dream to own a good one, but that is not cheap, yes, good Condition Day Date White Gold is about 15%-20% more expensive than Yellow old due to scarcity.
The above picture shows some of the Blue Dial Rolex Watch.
The Submariner is Expensive, and the Day Date on Right bottom corner is Platinum, it’s HKD$250,000.
The Day Date Ref 18238 with Roman Numerals is Aventurine Dial, excellent plus condition, it is extremely rare!
HKD$135,000., it comes with paper, Box and original gold Beacelet.
The one on left bottom is an offer from an Overseas friend HKD$200,000. It is Ref 118238 with full paper, box, and everything. White Gold version is rare. A very fine collection item.
Well, all Rolex Fans for Blue Dial, pls note!!

Rolex Ref 18238 Day Date with Aventurine Dial

Green Aventurine


Blue Aventurine
Aventurine (砂金石) is a form of quartz, characterized by its translucency and the presence of platy mineral inclusions that give a shimmering or glistening effect termed aventurescence.
The most common colour of aventurine is green, but it may also available in Blue, Yellow, Orange, Brown,  or Grey. Chrome-bearing fuchsite (a variety of muscovite mica) is the classic inclusion, and gives a silvery green or blue sheen. Oranges and browns are attributed to hematite or goethite. Aventurine is a rock, its physical properties vary: its specific gravity may lie between 2.64-2.69 and its hardness is somewhat lower than single-crystal quartz at around 6.5.
Blue Aventurine can help with addictions, large and small, by allowing spiritual energies to come into the Third-Eye and Throat Chakras, to be processed by the subconscious mind. This action enables one to understand that the addiction is a symptom of a deeper problem, and that it is an attempt to fill a void better soothed by spiritual development.
Blue Aventurine can be used to help overcome selfishness, childishness, and passive-aggression. Blue Aventurine is helpful to those who find themselves stuck in an immature state of development, by clearing old, stagnant energies, and opening one up to inner growth and spiritual work.
Rolex is No longer making this kind of watch with Aventurine Dial especially Blue, this watch has a long and winding history, as owner sent this watch to RSC for regular service, they found a very very tiny hairy crack line on the dial. He Requested Rolex to replace and there it took three months to change with $13,800 but the RSC staff said that there is some “issue” that we believed the watch smith had an accident that he broke the dial again. This is the last Dial RSC HK has after another one month!
In short, the use of Aventurine is rare for Rolex and this is likely the last watch that HK RSC can offer a replacement of such a dial, this is a very rare watch and the dial is very beautiful of course!
The Watch comes with Full wooden box, Warranty paper, operation manual and other accessories.
Are you interested to buy something like this!?

Rolex Day Date Lapis Blue for those who admires True Value of Watch Immortality

                                  A Sphere of Lapis Lazuli of 70mm wit Price of US$1,700
                            Dalai Lama Wearing a Rolex Day Date Yellow Gold with Lapis Lazuli Dial

                A Rolex Day Date With Lapis Lazuli Dial, a Belgium Collector who Bought it March
2013
                                                           



Colour Blue and the Personality
Color blue as your favourite colour you are conservative, reliable and trustworthy. You are
genuine and sincere, and you take your responsibilities seriously.
Having a personality color blue means you have a deep need for peace and harmony in your everyday life.
Azula means Blue
The euphonious name is composed from 'lapis', the Latin word for stone, and 'azula', which comes from the Arabic and means blue.
Lapis lazuli is an opaque rock that mainly consists of diopside and lazurite. It came into being millions of years ago during the metamorphosis of lime to marble. Lapis lazuli might have come straight out of deep blue night with golden inclusions of pyrites which shimmer like little stars.
It has fascinated both men and women for thousands of years with its fabulous colour and those cloudy golden points of light.
Uncut lapis lazuli is matt and of a deep, dark blue colour, often with golden inclusions and whitish marble veins. Their cause is iron. The blue colour comes from the sulphur content of the lazurite and may range from pure ultramarine to a lighter blue., this stone is among the less hard gemstones at between 5 and 6 on the Mohs scale.
Afghanistan has the best reserve of Lapis Lazuli
The best raw stones still come from the steep Hindu Kush in the north-east of Afghanistan back in 5,000 years ago. The lumps of blue rock, extracted from the inhospitable mountains by blasting, are brought down into the valley in the summer months by mules. Nature also created deposits in Russia, to the west of Lake Baikal, and in the Chilean Andes, where the blue rock often has white or grey lime running through it.
Holy Stone, First Gemstone for jewelry
Lapis Lazuli was among the first gemstones to be worn as jewelry. The deep blue stone was already popular thousands of years ago among the people of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, Greece and Rome. It is said that the legendary city of Ur on the Euphrates plied a keen lapis lazuli trade as long ago as the fourth millennium B.C., the material coming to the land of the two great rivers from the famous deposits in Afghanistan. In other cultures, it was regarded as a holy stone. Particularly in the Middle East, it was thought to have magical powers. Countless signet rings, scarabs and figures were wrought from the blue stone which Alexander the Great brought to Europe. There, the colour was referred to 'ultramarine', which means something like 'from beyond the sea'.
This beautiful gem represents both mystics and royal families. Why would lapis lazuli be the choice for those who have external power, as well as those who focus on its internal counterpart?
Value
The worth of this stone to the world of art is immeasurable, for the ultramarine of the Old Masters is nothing other than genuine lapis lazuli. Ground up into a powder and stirred up together with binding-agents, the marble-like gemstone can be used to manufacture radiant blue watercolours, tempera or oil-paints. Before the year 1834, when it became possible to produce this colour synthetically, the only ultramarine available was that valuable substance made from genuine lapis lazuli that shines out at us from many works of art today. Ultramarine blue was not only precious and so intense that its radiance outshone all other colour; it was also very expensive. But unlike all other blue pigments, which tend to pale in the light, it has lost none of its radiance to this very day. Nowadays, the blue pigment obtained from lapis lazuli is mainly used in restoration work and by collectors of historical paints.
That is why the prices of jewelry with lapis lazuli vary very widely. The prices of this gemstone are largely dependent on the beauty and intensity of the colour. The most popular is an intense, deep blue. Finely and evenly distributed crystals of pyrites which shimmer in gold and look like sequins will increase the value, whilst a restless, rough or blotchy grain will reduce it.  A sphere of Lapis Lazuli with diameter of 75mm is selling about US$1,700. Of course value changes on different colour, density, the fine distribution of the Gold Dust.

Stone of Friendship and Truth
Lapis lazuli is regarded by many people as the stone of friendship and truth. The blue stone is said to encourage harmony in relationships and help its wearer to be authentic and give his or her opinion openly.
Energy of Cosmic Wisdom
Among the many properties ascribed to lapis lazuli is the energy of deep calm and a strong connection to cosmic wisdom. A connection that helps one aligns with a universal quality of truth and integrity. The deep cobalt blue of lapis lazuli has a royal presence, powerful and mysterious.
Lapis lazuli is not a stone one usually likes right away - its deep, mysterious energies can be veiled for a long time until one's mind is ready to be still, be open and have the courage to discover the mysteries of the universe in silence.
Because of its connection to cosmic and heaven energies, lapis lazuli is also believed to provide protection and shield the wearer from negative influences.
The Lapis Lazuli zodiac, myth and legend
The blue stone is reputed to promote harmony in relationship, lapis lazuli is considered a stone of truth and friendship.
In Middle Ages, people believed that the cosmos was reflected in gemstones. Lapis lazuli is assigned to the planet Jupiter. The esoteric movement revived the ancient belief and the gem industry made it another marketing tool to promote certain gems.
The healing powers of gems remain a controversial issue, but are mentioned for centuries by healers, shamans and medicine men. Whether it’s a fact or a placebo effect doesn’t matter, if it helps. The safest approach is to wear the gemstone in skin contact to the troubled part of the body. Lapis lazuli is said to be of help for headaches, sore throat and varicose veins.
Rolex and Lapis Lazuli
We can see many people, scholars, professors, leaders is fond of Colour of blue.
Many people refer Blue is the Colour of Monarch, Royalty, See How Many national Flag come with Blue?
As for the French National Flag consists of three bands of Blue, White and Red colour, the blue indicates Vigilance, Truth and Loyalty, Perseverance and Justice. So as for US National Flag: Blue is the color of the Chief, and signifies Vigilance, Perseverance and Justice.
Blue has been my best loved colour since I was young, I still remember when I was in Primary school, I used to wear the thick Blue Blazer. I  brought me warmth and comfort. Blue is my first choice for clothes and trousers, and it might be bore to someone. I like it as I have loyalty to my colour.
Is that Lapis Lazuli Dial my preferred Choice?
Rolex Watch with Blue dial is always the first choice of Hong Kong Snob, I don't care what people say about the meaning in Cantonese “Lan Lo!” and Someone says the worst combination is White Gold with blue Dial. But I am not that superstitious!, White Gold Indicate Purity, and Blue represents Vigilance, Power and Bravey!
For Submariner, I like Blue Dial blue Bezel
For Day Date, I like Blue dial, best is Lapis Lazuli dial, Diamond or no diamond does not show significant influence. Without diamond would be better as there is more space to display the beautiful Arabian Night with those little golden shimmer. A cloud of illusion made up of my personal thought of loss and mystery in life. The essence of harmony and seems I can hear the last section of Beethoven’s Symphony No., 9. “Ode to Joy”!
Today, when you can spot a Good Condition Rolex Day Date Ref 1803, 1804, 18038, 18049, 18238… or even Date Just…with Lapis Lazuli dial, go and buy it as it state the true value of What Beautiful watch should behave, and perhaps you will feel regret if not today. A True Rolex Collector should not ignore these watches.
Rolex Blue dial, Ice Blue dial, Lapis Lazuli dial…
““Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.”
― Dalai Lama XIV
Attached picture shows Dalai Lama who was wearing a Rolex Day Date with Lapis Lazuli Dial.
Ps
A Brand new Rolex Datejust NOS two tone 36 mm is still available in Rolex AD with $77,000!! Cheap!
A superb condition Rolex Day Date Ref 1803 Yellow Gold 36mm with Lapis Lazuli dial with diamond dial will require you to pay for $150,000, White Gold will be even more expensive.
A pre-owned Rolex Day Date Yellow Gold Ref 18238 With Lapis Lazuli Dial without diamond valued between $150,000 to 250,000.
A pre-own Rolex Day Date Platinum with Lapis Lazuli Dial with Diamond bezel and Dial can have a stunning price of $600,000, But I cannot find it on Rolex Catalogue.
I am a looking for a Rolex Day Date Ref 1803 Yellow Gold version, Lapis Lazuli dial with a Lot of gold dust!
As you know always I am a Sham Shui Po* Snob when I am asked to pay, Only I am a HK Snob When I dream to buy my Rolex!
Sham Shui Po is a district of low income in general in the mid of the Kowloon city, but people are usually more friendly than any places of Hong Kong.

Rolex Day Date is getting more and more popular now


Ref 18038 Yellow Gold, Ref 18039 and Ref 1803 on the Right

Rolex’s Flag Ship Modell Day Date price is getting Higher and Higher…

Why!?

1.  As there are a Lot of colourful Dials, 

2. There are so much fun for collecting Rolex Day Date for his past 50 years of productions

There are so many luxurious dial had been made Black, Champagne gold, White, Blue, Purple, Red, yellow orange, green, Lapis Lazuli, grey…etc

3. It is Only made in Gold, that no common Fake is available in the market.

4. There is a new introductory in BeselWorld of Day Date for the young people’s market, it come with various fantastic colour, the entry price is lower. More people could Afford to buy one.

My target of collection will focus on Ref 1803 White and Yellow gold and Ref 18038 and 18039. White gold is scarce. White Gold with Diamond dial even less. I like The OysterQuartz Day Date too, but it is even harder to find as I believe Have produced about 1,5oo White Gold Oysterquartz and 5,500 Yellow gold Dad Date since 1977 to 2003!

Set a new target to collect would be fun! And Most of All, Solid Gold Rolex Day Date can be treated as Money! I value will hardly be depreciated over the years.

With HKD$35,000 can you buy a Solid 18KT Gold watch with Day and Date display? With an automatic movement in the new or pre-owned market.

With the new emerging potential young collector from China, I am sure the price will would shoot up faster than I could expect.
