This is a watch I always looking for and I believe One day I may have a chance to have one.

I still I recalled I missed one yellow gold Submariner with Lapis Azuli Dial.
This Smooth bezel Yellow gold Day Date is simple, clean and all eyes focus will be on the Blue dial that has gold dust, what kind of beauty it is!

The same shape, style and  fame as Pen Collector' dream Pen: Waterman Patrician Turquoise.

Killer Rolex OysterQuartz Day Date Watch Ref 19018

For 25 years Rolex produced the Oysterquartz in Datejust models (17000 stainless steel, 17013 steel/YG, 17014 steel/WG), and Day-Date models in all gold (19018 YG, 19019 WG). Special models of the Oysterquartz were also produced with jeweled dials, bezels, and bracelets. It has been estimated that in all less than 25,000 Oysterquartz watches were ever produced by Rolex.

Who kills the Electric car? The Oil company or GM?

Who Kill the Rolex OysterQuartz? No one knows, probably the new 90’s Swiss Manufacturing of Hi end watch gone too far away from some of the Electronics technology including Quartz. Again, time piece is used to keep time as the basic need, what's has wrong with a Quartz watch? Probably to blame low value image as there are Quartz watch selling HKD$20 a piece at Ap Liu Street!? Don’t forget that there are also HKD$60 for a mechanical Watch!

Probably the development cost of an accurate, durable Quartz watch is not as CHEAP as mechanical watch arena?! As Rolex OysterQuartz is one of the best Quart watches in the WORLD. Besides, the unique “tick” for every second it runs!? The mechanical Structure is sturdy, the watch case is so sleek and pretty and seem it is timeless.

It carries with the similar base plate design of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, with a weight of 148 grams on your wrist give you a sense of massive Watch like driving the

legendary Hummer H3X with a 5.3L V8 Engine!

It runs of battery cells that could last for 2.5 years. Most of all, the battery Replacement is free at Rolex Service Centre.

The number of Yellow and White Gold Rolex OysterQuartz Day Date is estimated to be less than 5,000.

To a Collector point of view, this is good as they are Little in number of Production, it is pretty, It works perfectly with proven record on Mt, Everest.

And Most of all, the price is VERY CHEAP as of Today’ Gold watch. Average Selling price is About HKD$55,000-HKD$90,000 depending on material, condition, dial material and Colour.

As I can imagine, one day the Car running on Road will be 40% Battery powered by 2020, and at that time who knows those Rolex and Patek Philippe would be mostly Quartz? Who know that Obama would be the president of the USS in 2008?

When we see good dial, Day Date OysterQuartz, Buy it…

QuartzOysteregret- new word I use myself, it means if you do not buy Oyster Ouartz now, you will be Regret soon!

Legend

Onyx
Onyx is a banded variety of chalcedony. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color (save some shades, such as purple or blue). Commonly, specimens of onyx contain bands of black and/or white.

Tiger Eye

Tiger's eye (also called Tigers eye or Tiger eye) is a chatoyant gemstone that is usually a metamorphic rock that is a golden to red-brown color, with a silky luster. Resembles eye of a tiger!

Malachite green is an organic compound that is used as a dyestuff and has emerged as a controversial agent in aquaculture. Malachite green is traditionally used as a dye for materials such as silk, leather, and paper. Although called malachite green, the compound is not related to the mineral malachite — the name just comes from the similarity of color. The Rolex malachite dial is made by mineral malachite.

Rolex Ref 118209 Havana Dial Rolex Day Date


Rolex Ref 118209 Havana Dial Day Date, the low profile gentleman of Day Date.


This Model is no longer been produced, set-up with oyster Strap which is usually designed for

Sport watch with all stainless steel.

But this Ref 118290 is all with all White Gold.

So I think this is the Gentleman of all Day Dates.

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.
