Very First LED watch of the 70's
Old, rare and hard to find LED display watch, other than ny Boluva LED watch of similar design, rolled gold case and strap. Not the magnet hidden on the strap is used to set the time.
very unique for Pulsar LED display watch.

The Most Beautiful Cartier Watch for Women
This is the watch for woman....though this grey colour strap was the best colour to match with the dial. But I think a black satin strap would be the best to promote the gluster for the diamonds.

The Most Expensive Diver's Watch from Seiko
A selling price of HKD$50,000.00 for a Divers' watch from Seiko is classified expensive for me.
As this is the price for a Rolex DeepSea, or an IWC's Deep One.
But this is a Seiko; a very special watch called Spring Driving Watch was made with a mechanical auto winding mechanism to reserve the power. As the main spring unwinds, it provides power for driving the hands controlled through the Regulator called Try-synchro regulator. A small fraction of the mainspring power is to generate satiny current to drive an Oscillator and an IC. The precise reference signal of the IC will coordinate with the speed as the mainspring unwinds. A delicately controlled electromagnetic brake is applied to ensure the mainspring unwinds is exactly the right rate to match the watch oscillators for accurate timekeeping. The Electro magnetic brake will keeps hands for an accurate time.
Since there is no conventional escapement, the movement is smooth, the hands is swing smoothly and continuously as naturally flowing movement. The power reserve maintains 72 hours operation, the accuracy can be +/-1 second a day. A glide motion hand.
This is a Diver's watch, very heavy and sturdy built, I can say heavier than a DeepSea. Very Strong Steel to make the case, beautiful, it is selling at Yen 598,500!

The Best Looking Rolex Oyster Day Date Ref. 18038
ROLEX DAY-DATE Ref.18038 18K Yellow Solid-Gold Case.
An Rare Brownish Yellow Gem stone Dial, the best after Onyx probably!!?
Brown colour Croco. Leather strap 1990's
This is another one after I bought the similar dial OysterQuartz, This is an Auto Version.
Well, as for the overall appearance consideration, the OysterQuartz is more beautiful, this will be the 2nd choice as for causal Wearing. As if for Collection purpose, this is better than the OysterQuartz for sure.

World First Single Control Buttton Perpetual Calendar Watch
This is a Limited Edition for from the world renowned clock manufacturing for the merchant vessel. This is the World No. 1 to have just one single control to set up all the calendar date, year, day and Month. This is a special serial number of “000” amongst the 150 pieces Nardin Made for us. The Dial date display arrangement is a bit confusing and not set in harmony. A bit uncomfortable to see that the F/S adjustment gear is not goose neck type for such a watch of USD$30,000.00!

World largest Watch and Clock Fair
Well,, There are numerous exhibitors from overseas to participate this watch fair. And I expected to buy some of the exotic watch for me... But A bit disappointmed to see that a lot of the World Famous Watch designs were being C & D* to form a new watch makred with some other Brand Band name....
Like AP, Hubort, Piaget, Roger Dubuis...etc...
On the other hand, we could see a lot of new innovative design from some of the young watch designers from Korea, China and India...
PS... C & D means copy and development...
The big hand's Rolex was Paul... he is a famous HK watch trader and collectors!
