Rolex Submariner Emerald

Many people know they want a Rolex watch but aren't sure what model to get. People check for the people he know for the model they wear, simply follow and get one from Rolex Shop.

There are some peculiar watch like the Hocus Pocus designed by Higashi-Glazer for Swatch in 1991, with numbered not more than 14,999 pieces, It was sold from original price HKD$600 to a unbelievable HKD$12,000 in the next day of Release. Until Today, this is still a special Watch. Why!? Because of the design is so much unique. Look at that!

Some people simply want the name on their wrist and are looking for the least expensive Rolex model., they go Air King.

Other people have a closer connection with a specific model's history, or simply feel that one particular Rolex fits their lifestyle best. Someone has a lot of Submariner, which is Rolex most Popular Model other than Date Just.

There is a lot of variant Vintage Submariner and there are too much for me to learn, too many know-how to choose which one if genuine or what is Fake about it!

Well, to some people who has no concern on the money, and for those who want to have a lot of sands on the watch, for those who would like to have a very special watch to appear in your Daughter marriage. Or wear to show to your boss that you do not need that job for the shameful salary.

Rolex Submariner Ref 116649EM which even could not be found on general Rolex price book.

Released at Baselworld in 2010, this “Submariner Emerald” (ref. 116649EM) was produced in a very limited number. Bezel is set with 36 emeralds and 12 brilliants and this particular example also has the pave diamond dial with emerald indices. A true 18 KT White gold masterpiece and who wonders if dealer has it in stock?

Yes, I saw one in HKIA Rolex AD, just one, and I believe there is no more than this one in the Rolex Boutique in HK.

Make a trip to the HKIA and talk to the Senior Sales Executive for this watch.  They may offer you some discount if you are really need the discount! This is a watch for meeting the Shanghai Rich Celebrity in Shanghai Club! Or for those who should have a special watch that it would have no other one when you wear in Cannes Film festival!

The price is HKD$2,855,000

Of course for those who has a lot of money, and there is nothing to buy, you can consider this, remember this Rolex is made uner very very small quanity.

Aisan Largest Rolex AD Shop at HKIA Departure Hall Atrium, Sold Six GMT master Ref 116710 BLNR in the first Day

HKIA Rolex AD, Asian Largest and Probably the most Challenging Watch Business in Town

Due to the high rent, that I think over HK$3,000,000 a month a few tenth of sales executives.

The Rolex AD in HKIA is likely either a big revenue Generators or big loser to the owner Dickson Watch & Jewellery.

Insiders story was told that in the first Day of Opening, they SOLD 6 Submariner Blue Pointer Ref 116610 BLNR! And a few Daytona Stainless steel, Well? Who are the buyer!? As they have to pass by the immigration and fly away the day!?

And I think there is hardly to get more than 5% discount, or even no discount depending on how much time you have to make a happy Rolex Shopping.

They may have a Million dollars Sales revenue, but that isn’t enough  for them for paying the rent and the staff!

When time comes, we will see how they change their sales strategy,

Don’t  forget, there are limitation to make a Rolex buy there. And I think it takes minimum 20 Minutes to buy a Rolex.

Well., I think if the strategy is Right they can sell a lot of Rolex to the rich Buyers.

How?

A Group of five Robbers intending to crack the windows of a Rolex Shop at Southhampton England, this old granny came and ran into the Rolex Shop regardless to know the danger and started hitting the robbers by her hang-bag!

Inspiring other standers-by to help, the woman chased the thugs until someone tipped their moped and caught at least one. Whilst the Rolex Shop manager closed the metal curtain door to prevent no loss of any Watches at all.

This is a granny is a super woman.

Rolex Daytona Ref 116520 Market in Hong Kong, Brand new with Box or used one.

                                                      Rolex Daytona Ref 116520 White Dial

A lucky Day for friend of Watch Fever who bought the Rolex Daytona Ref 116520 at List price $87,500 yesterday at HKIA Rolex Boutique, at Departure Hall Atrium. Likely this is the FIRST Rolex Daytona few pieces Sold since the Openning on 24 Aug 2013!

 

Rolex Daytona Ref 116520 Market in Hong Kong

This is insofar the hottest Watch In Hong Kong!

In Rolex AD, Ref 116520 stainless steel Daytona with 78590 oyster strap is having a list price of $87,500, Sorry no discount.

That is the original price for Daytona no matter Black or White Dial. However from various Review and watcher's preference, most of the people is looking for Black dial instead of White.

So there is no way to get a Black Dial from Rolex AD, and we need to pay $95,000 to get a Black Dial.

Invoice amount is still $87,500 for Black Dial.

How long we can get the Rolex Daytona? 3 months minimum on the long queue, of course depending on which Rolex AD you are looking for.

And of course, if you are VIP customers, they may cut the queue to give you that watch.

Well, leave you contact in the Rolex AD and start waiting!?

How about pre-owned Market?

Black dial is $88,000 to $98,000 with paper

White Dial $85,000- 90,000 with paper

Shop- Lung Shing got one black dial on 1 September

Kuen Kee has a few on Black dial and some on White Dial.

If you can wait., go for Rolex AD.,

If you cannot, go to Buy it in the pre-owned watch shops! 

My taste? I like White Dial more.

Vanity drives us going for Rolex?

                               The latest Release Rolex GMT Master II Ref 116710 BLNR

Vanity drives us going for Rolex!?

Vanity can add significant value to a product, and this "Vanity factor" affects the prices of the cars we drive, the wine we drink, the shoes we wear, the pen we write with and of course the WATCH we wear!

To many people, the function of a watch is to tell time — and that's it.

If a watch that costs HKD$100,000 or more, is a terrible investment to this type of consumer.

"How much am I paying?" and "What am I getting for it?" are the two most important questions investors must ask themselves before making such a purchase.

The concept seems simple enough. However, personal views on functionality can greatly skew the value and demand of a product or investment.

A fair amount of research supports the existence the factor of vanity.

For instance, if you were to give two groups of people the same wine, but told one group that their wine was expensive, that group would automatically perceive the wine as tasting better.

But to others, a Rolex is a status symbol that is completely worth the cost. Than is more than Vanity factor for us to buy such a watch.

If you were to ask a random sample of Rolex users to rate their attractiveness, they would give themselves a higher average rating than would owners of any other watch. Likewise, a Rolex user is more likely to identify him as "high-maintenance."

Of course, owning a Rolex doesn't make you vain; it's just that a higher number of vanity-driven consumers have been drawn to the product as a result of its function as a status symbol.

The success and failure of some of the world class Companies and their products: Toyota, Apple, Motorola And Rolex

The success and failure of some of the world class Companies and their products: Toyota, Apple, Motorola And Rolex

Toyota and Lexus

Toyota had built up a very successful product with the application of Taguchi Quality campaign in the 60s and gradually Toyota made itself a very successful company. Name of Toyota represents Good Quality.

“There were a Toyota broke down at the middle of the desert highway and someone from the Toyota was asking the passing-by cars for Help. No car stop to help as they said this is a Robbery plot as Toyota car never fail!” that was a successful TV Advertisement program for Toyota.

1989, Toyota formed another Company, another product line of Lexus.

The first model was LS400, It was successfully as they built an independent Sales and marketing office and position this is a hi end Lexus. And This is not Toyota.

1989 Lexus LS-400, still we can see some of them are running on the Road!

Apple and Pineapple

News and Rumour about the Low cost version of iPhone 5C. (C stands for CHEAP!?)

In Short if Apple wants this iPhone 5C to be successful, they have to be marketed by a separate company name with Pineapple or Durian.  That if they sell by Apple store under Apply marketing campaign, That Apple will follow Motorola and come to end dead end!  I suggest Apply use “Pineapple” as the second product Line! As Apple iPhone has been built up the Phone of Hi technical, exquisite tools as a Class of Hi End Phone. If they sells low end Cheap Phone, that would be walking away from What Steve Jobs had planned back in 28 June 2007, the first day they launched the very First iPhone 2G.

The Apple iPhone 5C?

Motorola Razr II and ULC handphone

In 2005 Motorola planned to make the World SLC headphone, (SLC stands for Super low cost targeted to be selling at USD$20.00 for Indian and Southern America market)

And after when 50 million U.S. Dollars facilities and equipment, marketing team reported that the market of the ULC was actually does not exist for Motorola, and In fact at that time Nokia had had a low cost hand phone which has a B/W LCD display, having all the SMS and basic phone call function, price target was about US$25. Whereas Motorola ULC hand phone was intended to use i-Dot display, with a unique pattern of display that was hardware fixed. And I think they have made less than 5,000 units sending to market like India and Latin America as samples testing the market, but the comment was very negative. The program was dissolved, they found that No one would like to use the Low Cost handphone as the name itself reflect the user is also a “poverty class!” The Only Successful Motorola is early Star Tac II and Razr.

From Left, My Motorola Star Tac II LED display and Star Tac II LCD, Note II LTE, HTC One... Star TAC II was selling HKD$14,800 in 1991

Rolex and Tudor

Unveiled in 1946 by Rolex founder Hans Wilsdorf, the Tudor collection was originally branded with a shield that contained a decorative rose, a symbol of the English Tudor dynasty. The Tudor Oyster Prince as the first Tudor First model, boasted waterproof cases and self-winding movements, and the line was cast as the more rough-and-tumble member of the Rolex family, with advertisements showing men in extreme sport or work scenarios. However, Tudor is living in the shadow of Rolex for years and was not proved successful, or I should say Rolex is too successful comparing with Tudor.

Priced as one third of Rolex, Tudor earned a name of “poor people’s Rolex in 80s Hong Kong!’ and most of us would buy Rolex as the second, after they got the Tudor, such as Dutch friend Hens hanged banner on his Volkswagen Beetle “My Second car is Porsche!”

Tudor timepieces are produced alongside Rolex watches in Switzerland, but they're assembled with more affordable ETA Swiss watch movements rather than the movements made in-house at Rolex.

In 1989, Tudor has been spinoff as Tudor not using Rolex’s case, Crown, and Strap. So it is building up its unique image, and recently you can see that they are totally new bleed of watch with Bold and sleek design not as conserved as Rolex design.

So the new marketing strategy of Tudor is Right, they have own marketing plan, product line that is out of the Box of Rolex design.  Different line, different branding, different direction, Both Rolex and Tudor would be successful.
