Rolex Ref 15037 14KT Solid Gold Men's Watch





This is an 1989 Rolex Ref 15037 "Date" Solid 14KT gold with Jubilee Strap. It comes with orginal Box and Waranty papers, it was sold in USA via J. herbert Hall Co.

14 KT Solid Gold Rolex is very rare, still I have to find out why 14KT gold was being used.
It is made with special care with almost flawless black Dial and pointer, watch has not been polished.

A watch buckle with all Rolex goldsmith hallmarks and clearly stamped Rolex marks.
This is a classic Rolex "Date" , another Collection item for those Rolex Watch Fever Collectors. Friend of mine is asking HKD$57,000.00

Remarks: Though it is made with 14Kt solid gold, its weight is seemed very solid and very heavy on my wrist.

Comment From users on Rolex Explorer II Ref 216570

This is the exact Comment on one of the new users of Explorer II he bought recently in HK....

" Hi again Hong Kong Snob. GPPM here. I thought I would give you an update on the Rolex Explorer II that I purchased in late January with your help.

It has been on my wrist constantly for almost three months now and I am loving it.

It is a classic looking watch and looks great with my suit during the week and in sports clothes on the weekend. It is putting up with the general bumps and grinds without show any obvious signs of wear.
What is really amazing me though is how accurate this thing is. It is averaging 4 to 5 seconds fast per week, less than 20 seconds a month. I am only bothering to adjust it when I have to amend the date setting.

The other thing i really like about it is the adjustable length bracelet. I use it all the time when the weather gets warmer and my wrist starts to swell a bit. It really adds to the overall comfort of the watch.

I would highly recommend this watch to people wanting a practical every day watch that represents great value for money. "    


PS
In fact there are two more new owners on this Explorer II, they feel that the time keeping is Superb! It gains about 1 seconds in two days. That is an equilvalent of 5.787 PPM (part per million) which is very high!  

Ref 216570 is selling at Rolex AD at List price HKD$60,500 we can get a discount of minimum 5%! Consider that when you want to buy your next Rolex, Black Dial is another choice if you had white!

As the Orange Hand looks floating on top of the black dial. Price of White or Black is same.   HK Snob

The Expensive Porsche Stop Watch



This is a Stop Watch that comes with the Porsche 911 GT3.
A watch that you have to pay for USD$400,000! Of course, it comes with a better package, "your name on back of it"... but the Watch itself may be just a simple stop watch of not more than US$200!
