Skagen

Skagen watches are most known for their unique designs and an ultra thin Slimline series would make watch like part of the skin like Design of Skin of Swatch. The watch is made with high quality material, accurate and durable, the mesh band is comfortable to wear and flexible to fit on your wrist.


Henril and Charlotte Jorst came to US from Denmark to run their own business, they created something unique, beautiful and yet to be affordable price. Soon after they started to make watches from a small apartment and selling them door to door. When they least expected it their lucky break came and Bloomingdales started to offer their wrist watches in the chain of their department stores. That was 1989.

We can get these watches on board in major Asian airlines.

Rolex Yacht Master Ref 116622 Blue Dial

There have been a lot of positive comment on this Ref 116622 Yacht master Blue Dial Sunray.


Someone names this to be the most beautiful Rolex in 2012 after Beselworld 2012, it has been on sales in certain countries Starting November, yet to be in HK up to now.

This is a 40mm Stainless steel with PT900 Platinum Bezel, Beautifully laser cut and hand polished!

Rolex had an “entirely rethought” bezel and this is the major improvement (in addition to the bracelet) in that it does 120 clicks in both directions which should be smoother/crisper than before. As for the bracelet, this Yacht-Master has a solid link bracelet with the spring-loaded Oysterlock clasp.

In My opinion, it is much sexist than the Sand-blasted Platinum dial, But this Blue Dial may not be Platinum, might be white gold base!?

I am sure this is one of the hottest Models from Rolex in 2013, Take note and We should keep some money for this. Well, some Chinese does not like Blue Colour Rolex for it interprets “ Difficult ‘ in Cantonese pronounciation of “Blue”!

Well, I do not mind as the colour is un-resistibly Smart!

Outsdie HK is selling at USD$12,875 ( HKD$100,038)

HK List price is Just HKD$89,800 with additional 5% discount. that is much cheaper than you buy elsewhere!

The Most Exotic Rolex Date Just for You and Her.

Rolex has been focusing on many decades on watch accuracy, durability, function, mechanical perfection, I was thinking Rolex has been practicing with quite conservative approach in the basic design, and that Rolex has a clear product strategy: aware that a good watch has to be accurate, no matter quartz and mechanical as they have presented, and durable lasting watch for decades.

After so many years of success, in view of more people looking for non-classic Rolex types of design. There have been more daring design released from Rolex Recently.

This is one of them, released in 2009 Falls, a Rolex with exquisite material …Silicone Rubber for the strap, embedded with nude diamonds on strap. And the whole watch id decorated in diamond on a wavy form of pattern, barely visible the name of Rolex and the Crown.

That is a case of 18kt White Gold. , the bezel is surrounded with black diamond on a square cut form. You have probably advised to wear a sunglass of you see this watch under the sun!

I have no question on this watch which I rate it as the most sexiest Date Just for lady!

Well, price wise is HKD$652,700.00 with less 5% discount at Rolex AD. Pricewise is considered Cheap as Rolex has loaded “Tons” of Sugar Cubes on it…

Check with your local Rolex AD and make this for the next Gift for your beloved one for the Saint Valentines day! At least you will be ensured you have a Sweet 2013 whole year through!

1952 Rolex Advertisement on Newsweek as the first and the 2013 final Copy

Men who guide the destinies of the world wear Rolex Watches.
Never before had the great men of the age been so well known to their contemporaries as
Today. News of almost their words and actions is flashed around the world in seconds.

Their faces and voices are made daily familiar to us in newspaper photographs, on the Radio, in files and on television. We are intensely aware not only of their important but also of their personalities. Their Impact Is enormous on us as well as on the world event.

If would not be fitting to name them here, for they include royalty, the heads of states, great statesmen, and service chiefs.

But there is one unusual thing we invite you to look at when you next to see them or their pictures- the watch in their wrists. That watch will most likely bear the name of Rolex of Geneva.


Accustomed through they are to be very best, these eminent men are nevertheless amazed at the accuracy and reliability of their Rolex watches.

Rolex are proud, if unsurprised, that they quickly take these qualities for granted.



The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Just, one of the most accurate watches in the world. It's accuracy has been objectively tested by a Swiss government testing stations, which is awarded the watch an " official timing certificate with the coveted distinction "Especially good result" and the right tot be called "Official certified chronometer".


Its movement is permanent protected by harmful elements by the 100% waterproof Rolex Oyster case. The Date Just is self-winding, powered by the new Rolex “Perpetual “rotor” this keeps a constant tension on the mainspring, making for still greater accuracy.


And the date is shown on the dial, changing automatically each night at midnight, and magnified by a “Cyclops” lens for easy reading.

***********************************************************************************************

This is quite interesting that Rolex has started advertisement with a lot of illustration on the people, the watch and the relationship between important people and good watch.

After 61 years the same philosophy applies on Rolex Advertisement, emphases on some important celebricity and important people wearing Rolex.

Over the years this helps to bring the names of Rolex to everyone who could appreciate good quality watches. Since 1952 to 2013, Rolex hs been posting ad on Newsweek. but this is the last printed issue! Times chages, sooner later, there will be no more Hard copy Magazine. However a Rolex still remains one of the best accurate watches in the World!

The First Ad on Newsweek was a Rolex Date Just and the last is a Rolex Day Date Platinum.

Rolex Cellini and Orchid Watch

Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571) was an Italian goldsmith, soldier, painter, painter, and musician, who also wrote a famous autobiography. He was one of the most important artists of Mannerism, Rolex make use of his name of “Cellini” to represent the “Perfect Refinement” of a Rolex dress watch series, all made of precious metals and decorated with Diamond and or precious gems.


The Cellini Collection used to include a number of beautiful models with quartz movements whose soft lines communicate an extraordinarily subdued elegance.

Deign with elegant and sensual, the Cellini watches offer a more provocative look. Cellini watches are the fruit of a delicate marriage where watchmaking tradition meets Rolex refinement. Firmly rooted in the grand Rolex watchmaking tradition, a Cellini watch is designed for years of use and enjoyment. Each timepiece is inspired by the supreme talent and outstanding craftsmanship of Benvenuto Cellini, who fascinated his contemporaries with his technical skills and refined taste. Among the Cellini models is the striking, strictly female Orchid.

The one I show here is a 1992 Watch Cellini for men, we bought it with HKD$18,000. the dial is a "Rolex Computer" Yellow gold, slim, quiet and smooth, it has never been serviced. Another one was 18KT white Gold Orchid which I bought for my mother in 1982 about HKD$6000. That was being used by my mother, and she gave it to my first wife, she used it for a few years, and then she returned to my mother, likewise my mother gave to my 2nd wife… and she did not like it as she like Yellow Gold. (I bought her a 36m men's Date Just Solid Gold) Then she returned to my mother…well, knowing that I may give it to someone in future whoever...again, probably, my mother gave it to me recently… I keep it with me now…

It is an example of Rolex Quality, it has been witnessing a few decades, it had never been serviced in Rolex Centre as it still takes time accurately and works perfectly… just one accident one of the diamond was lost at one o’clock position and I had no time, no intention to put back another diamond of similar size and shape, probably until I find the next owner…

This is a family watch and I believe many people selecte Rolex as family watch too.

Rolex makes good dress watch too!

My personal Ranking regardless of Price

No.1 Daytona White gold Ref 116509

No.2 Submariner Green Ref 116610LV

No. 3. GMT master II green Pointer Ref 116710LN

No. 4 DeepSea Ref 116660

No. 5 Milgauss Ref 116400GV

No. 6 Submariner Black Ref 116610LN

No. 7 Daytona Black Ref 116520

No. 8 Explorer II Black Dial

No. 9 Yacht- master Ref 16622

No. 10 Explorer I ref 214270


Beside, this is very personal as someone’s wrist is too small for a Deepsea, it might be good for someone but not for me, someone may like Simple watch like Explorer I but I can not tolerate watch without a date as It is important for me…

Someone may criticize Daytona has no date,,, but think about the design, it is hard to accommodate an extra space for a Date!

As for Lady, I think Milgauss Green Glass, Submariner Green or Explorer I is nice, fro the Green Sub, as the colour seems make the watch look larger, only you hand can carry the Submariner green as it looks a bit big for most of the average Asian Lady.

* Some people can get more discount!
