A Massage that takes you USD$35,000!

A Very Expensive Massage that takes A Rolex Day Date in Las Vegas!

Christina Lafave is accused of stealing a Rolex Day Date ($35,00) belonging to Kenneth Herold after offering him a $300 full body Massage at His room in Wynn Las Vegas Hotel.

The 25 years old Masseur was claimed to hide the yellow gold Rolex Day Date in her Vagina when Herold (66) reported police his watch was lost.

Lafave was charged with larceny and possession of stolen property and was released on $40,000 bail. She is due back in court May 15. She may face up to 20 years behind bars if convicted!

Argument points:

Why Christina had to hide it in her “secret passage to joy” if she said and that the watch was a gift that he later tried to take back?

Will you give a Rolex Day Date for a 40 minutes massage to a girl you meet in bar?

Chris Rasmussen, Christina’s defense lawyer, is outraged about how far police went to retrieve the Rolex from his client, which he said was illegal.

My Suggestion is whenever I go massage, I don't leave my Rolex out of my wrist as you know it used to be dark in that kind of place. And A Rolex Can stay hot, cold water under showers, shock proof, massage proof, and massage oil resistant, why leave the watch on the desk!?

Next Time Bring a Basel World 2014 Zenith 60 mm sapphire case with white gold bezel Zenith Pilot Type 20 Grand Feu “60mm watch”! Its size could possibly prevent it being hid inside a woman’s vagina! I think, I mean normal Woman’s as this is a “60mm massive Watch!!” :P 

But there are Only 10 pieces made!

以前的塑膠貴過水晶，今天的黄金貴過鉑金，這是乜嘢世界?

人類登陸月球四十五年後，科技真的進步很多嗎?

七十年代，集成電路仍是PLCC8腳或PLCC14 腳包裝為主流。今天一粿3mmx3mm的QFN內的原子粒數是四十年前的一百萬倍之多!

這代表今天的科技真的很進步嗎?

二百多頓重續航力超越半個地球,fly-by-wire 電腦操控的先進馬航MH370竟然無法子被找到。不能被破壞的黑盒內臧著信号產生器也無法地被探測到!

六十年代的胆機胆咪錄音之黑膠魅力到目前唯止無一部超級電腦數碼音響系統能給到你模擬音樂味上的滿足。

科技就是否一切呢?

今天，一班香港的勞奴在吹水。其中不乏資深(資金深厚)的好友在談勞力士有乜禁好玩?

大家異口同聲講Ref 1802, 1803,1804,1807...

太大家都一致性單戀上(吾係同姓戀)勞力士早期的白金DAY DATE, 或者鉑金，重正!

嘩，一隻勞力士白金淺綠漸變面有石字的今天叫到三十萬元。你想買嗎?人家吾賣喎 超過三十萬就考慮下先喎!
六七十年代，小弟見到三十隻黄金DD,才見到一隻白金DD。所以白金的少之又少。

今天呢，你去勞力士錶店看看，白金DD,吾多過五隻。何解呢，顏色囉，衰似鋼囉?

你話貴?

這隻白金淺綠漸變面有石字錶五年前十三萬左右咋。而家三十萬!

最另人費解的，這些老勞力士錶面用上五角錢的膠片，新裝的是過千元一片的藍寶石水晶。這就是大家所追的"味道!"

有人開始講勞力士價錢開始會爆煲喎!
你覺得呢?

我就話: 科技未必代表一切，味道才是手錶所在。

註:
希望MH370 事件是電影"Lost"真實版。他們正生活在一荒岛上。

一錶傍身，世界通行

March 8 1800. taken by Samsung Note III

下午下班後，這是香港一個寫照，

街上好靜，行人吾多，有警務人員忙於送上"美真香"比一台平治，两台BMW, 一台豐田，不奕樂乎。

對面那麻雀學校內又發生不少故事，愛賭之電車男，主婦，小商人，教師，銷營經理，剛拉上褲子不久陀地骨妹入内發洩發洩在麻雀枱上。

貼滿租廣告空舖找租客中，我心想，最好是開檔铺，不，左面己有一檔利寶押，右面又開一檔大押，那有這麼多客源?
有計，龍威的熟客拿金撈來多當半成!

鬼知咩，輸起錢想盡地一舖，拿到幾$都殺。

想一想，出擋的勞力士有不少數都是來自賭仔手上來的。

君不見澳開賭場不到一百米內必有檔舖。

男人必踫到標賭飲蕩吹其中一瓣或一瓣以上。

何謂嫖賭飲蕩吹? 分別解作:
嫖是嫖妓的意思；
賭是賭博；
飲是酗酒；
蕩是放蕩；
吹是吸毒（清朝時稱"食大煙"）
幾樣行為加起來是對男性陋習、惡習的統稱

香港勞奴勸誡兄弟們玩玩算，吾好沉迷，留番一些錢買隻勞士傍身。一錶傍身，世界通行!

什麼錶世界通行?Rolex GMT MASTER II 囉!


買大路勞力士賺錢是騙人的，賺到戴就真!

我四年前用十萬五千買了Ref 18049 白金Day Date 我昨年賣了十二萬五千!

我五年前買了一隻隻紫色面ref 18038 七萬五，咋年賣七萬八。呢D叫做賺到戴囉!

Q & A on Vintage Rolex Collection

Why Chinese Post?

Well, because many of my HK Chinese Friends questioned me, why not writing something in Cantonese?  So I did. Actually I plan to write Chinese long time ago but my Company Note Book does not installed Chinese Writing Software. Until one day my beloved one brought me this Pink Note III, it has a fantastic pen that could write much like Chinese Character than the Note II, so I started writing something in Chinese. With a click, I could upload my post on the Blog.

Watch Check at Rolex Service Centre

Many Singaporean blog fans ask me why there is still fake Rolex selling in Shop?  I told them I haven't heard a single case in the past three years Rolex AD has sold Fake watch of Rolex, I emphases Rolex AD.

Some friends ask me if they buy a Rolex, can they send this Rolex to RVC asking them to verify the watch,

Well, Hong Kong is not same as Singapore, I think we can send the watch to Rolex to do a verification, but I have no hints on the charges and how fast it would take. If someone has such experience, please share with us.

Vintage Rolex

The market for vintage watches especially vintage Rolex watches can be a minefield. 

There are a lot of Franken, a lot of Polex and Lolex Vintage, it is the major reason why there are so many people has hesitation going into vintage Rolex Collection. Well, treat this as challenge and that could be fun, also who does not pay tuition fee before you get the Phd Degrees in Watch Collection in the school of HK? Phd may stand for Pig Head Dummy in this case!

Rolex Record

Rolex does not provide information out on their vintage models. They don’t help collectors in the way other brands do by issuing certificates.  But they do check and issue a Rolex Service record slip saying this this the watch they have service, if that watch is  Franken Rolex, they don’t service, so many people use this slip as a Proof of Authenticity.

Rolex is not like Patek Philippe- it makes a significantly higher volume of watches, and perhaps their records on older watches are not as good as they should be. Patek Philippe and Blancpain used to keep good record of the owner of the watch. They do have record of his watch in much more detail, as Patek produces only 30,000 watches a year whereas Rolex produces 30,000 watches in two weeks!

How to avoid buying a Franken Rolex Vintage Watch!?

Try to develop a relationship with a reputable dealer.  A good dealer has nothing to hide, and a guarantee of authenticity should not have a time expiration date. Know the seller and do your research!  True that it sometimes happened an expert buys a Franken Watch, it hurts painfully but that is another precious lesson we gain experienced in not buying something you don’t know, not buying something from someone you don’t know.

The More Expenisve the Watch, the lesser chance to be A Fake?

The more expensive the watch, the higher chance to get fake! Why? who will spend effort to make fake or Franken watch of HKD$30,000! On the Contrary, that Paul Newman Daytona could be an attraction to the people who goes into this dirty Fake watch business.

It is 100% Safe to buy watch from The Auction?

All depends, sometimes big auction houses has accidentally trades “Franken Watch” but that chances is lesser, it does not matter as you can always make another round to Auction to “SELL” the problematic watch again :P

Watch Collectors’ Don’ts

Don't go watch gathering with money in pocket, as someone may have 20 Submariner of the same model of different years, a great temptation not to buy it. Well, someone carries a book of Cheque!

Someone likes to trade watch in watch gathering, well, only buy something you like, not someone of good deal. Or at the end of the year, you may have 10 Rolex of the same type with minor difference, unless your target is to collection all the model of different varieties.  But I tell you, that is a High End Target for Rolex!

What Vintage Rolex I will buy if I had HKD$1M

1969 Ref 6241 Black 3-Color Paul Newman

1977 Ref 1803 White Gold Stella with Green Dial

Why? They are legendary, scarcity, and most of all, they are very beautiful!

"Pretty Woman" , The most frequently played Movie in this day: 14th Feb.

Edward Louis looks at his watch, a Rolex.

Edwards Lewis (Richard Gere) wears a Rolex Two Tone Date Just In "Pretty Woman"

For most of the time in this day, Saint Valentine's Day;  the movie in TV shown is “Pretty Woman” on the Day shown on my watch, I watch this on HBO in Manila.  I have been at least watching 7 times in the past 12 years in HK.

Pretty Woman is a 1990 American romantic comedy film set in Los Angeles. The film stars Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, and features Hector Elizondo, Ralph Bellamy (in his final performance), and Jason Alexander in supporting roles.

The story of Pretty Woman centers on the down-on-her-luck Hollywood prostitute Vivian Ward who is hired by a wealthy businessman, Edward Lewis, to be his escort for several business and social functions, and developed an intimate relationship over one week of Vivian's stay with him.

This is the fairy tale for most of the woman, especially those educated, pretty but no boy friend in the weird society of HK, where man has the right dominate power to initiate dating woman rather than the way reversed for woman to date man.

In the movie, I am well enchanted to the Hotel manager starred by Hector Elizondo who is really a nice kind man to help Vivian.

Edward Lewis only wears a Watch in the entire movie, that is a Rolex two tone yellow gold Date Just.

要硬上喇，從那德國飛機鋁拖喼內抽出差不多五时厚的港元一叠……全部一千元……光頭經理拿去數了差不十分鐘……九七折折實八十七萬七千元……

叫經理幫忙調較把錶錶戴上……MM問平頭可以嗎？

平頭連隨說: 好! 好!……

經理說……一流……名錶配美人…………

美人笑著的用秋波示意坐冷板的港燦比意見……

我說: “你接近完美，我接近麻痹!”

……我心想:

平頭喪盡理智討好你，佢可能只得個跟尾!

五支火柴你卻最具人氣, 那九七折價錢實在無理!

Amongst These Watches, Which one is your best beloved one?

To be sure, if money is not a problem, I will buy them all, but when you have money just allow you to make one single purchase, which one do you think is the best for you!?

If I could choose I will take the Day Date as it has more function, Day and Date.

Perpetual Oyster Auto winding... Solid gold case, I don't mind Auto or Oyster Quartz.

It would be a bonus if I  could get a special dial...

Is the wine older the better? How about your Rolex?

Watch Fever's Wine labels 1940-2002

Chateau Margaux 1900, estimated HKD$150,000

Rolex DD OysterQuartz Ref 19019 and 19018 (HKD$90,000-105,000)

Rolex White Gold Day Date with Rare Oak Dial  HKD$85,000

 Double Red Submariner HKD$250,000

Rolex Ref 18049 White Gold and Ref 19018 Yellow Gold OysterQuartz

HKD$130,000 and HKD$75,000

Is the wine Older the better? How about your Rolex?

Some of the best wine could be stored up for 100 years, still too YOUNG to be drunken. Like Chateau Margraux 1900, we speculate that it will be best to be consumed by 2020, that is 120 years after bottled!

We have tasted some of the good wine in the century, and yet up to this moment Chateau Laffite 1982 is yet to be opened for best taste, at best it is suggested to be opened by 2015-2020.  Chateau Mouton 2000, which is so heavy like honey, speculate to be stored up to 2020 for drinking.

The best wine I have tasted is 1966 Chateau Margaux, 1986 Chateau Laffite, 1992, 1996 Petrus.

It does not mean older is better, it depends on the year, soil, weather, and the winery who could possibly manage well for the wine.

Well, this is some of the 600 bottles I opened since 2006 up to now. They are just like Rolex 1945 Bubble back Oyster (1945 Chateau Mouton Rp100 points; estimated HKD$120,000), 1965 Daytona Paul Simon (1959 Chateau Latour Rp100 points; Estimated HKD$80,000), 1965 Submariner Comex (1982 Chateau Laffite Rp100, estimated HKD$48,000), 1977 Ref 19019 OysterQuartz Oak Dial White Gold (1989 Petrvs Rp 98 points, estimated HKD$58,000)…

Next time when you open a bottle of Top Five Red wine with Rp98 or higher, don’t forget to invite some of your best friend to taste it.

And as a conclusion, an older wine does not indicate it is better, but for a Rolex, an older is always better in value.

How to compare the Top Five wine and the top Five Rolex Model!?

These are the top five wine from Bordeaux
Chateau Lafifte
Chateau Latour
Chateau Margraux
Chateau Mouton
Chateau Haut Brion

Rolex Daytona is just Like Chateau Latour - as it is Strong and Powerful, full body like Pamela, never disappoint you, adventurous life style!

Rolex Day Date is just like Chateau Lafifte - as it is well balanced, serve all purposes; a beginer, a wine expert, Even Robert Parker, a gentleman of Wine, like a sweet lady that could spend with you in a hotel room 5 days never come out of the door!

This is likely the Top one of the Five. My Favourite wine if I had that money!

Rolex Submariner is just like Chateau Mouton - As it is innovative, every year has a new artistic design label like your diving into another deep sea in the islands of the Philippines.

Rolex Date Just is just like Chateau Margaux- It is mild to moderate strong wine but with full fragance, I had opened that 1966 bottle, the guests of the next table in Prince Restaurant came to me asking what wine is this!?

Rolex GMT master is just like Chateau Haut Brion- Strong and full or characters, low profile, but it is one of the top Five!

Those were the days as I am now a poor snob, I still drink a lot, but likely wine from friends, the next table, or the restaurant's House Wine!!
