The balance of bracelet of your Rolex would be an excuse not to Repair nor service at Rolex Service Centre!

The balance of bracelet when you buy a Rolex from an AD.

Friend of mine, who is a US Movie Actor, he dropped a Tudor and a Rolex off to the Australia Rolex Service Centre last week for service.

They noticed that his watch bracelet is unbalanced.

3 links on one side and 5 on the other!

Both watches has 4 links out.

He bought One from Kowloon watches and one from Ying Wong (Emperor).

Rolex Service Centre asked him to send his spare links in.

They said that they won't service a watch and have it send back unbalanced...

Which lead us to the question that the 2 Rolex AD he brought from have done it the lazy way.

Take all the links out from one side!

This might be a good topic for you especially female.

If there is more than 1 link out, they should insist to take it out from both sides.

Friend of mine he lucky found a Rolex tool and reconnect the links properly before sending to Rolex Service Centre.

This Sound weird to you, but that is True!!

So next time, when there is needed to remove some of the Submariner link for matching your wrist, make it one on each side, don’t remove two on one side!

And Please keep the links, there can be vital to you, and if that is Gold one... don't throw it away as each link may cost you HKD$3,000!!

Rolex Quiz, Can you what metal following watch is made of!?

There is always easy to tell a Rolex is made of Gold (yellow gold or White gold) by their colour, how about can you tell if that is a watch of Platinum or White gold!?

From Left to Right, Ref 18038 Yellow Gold, Centre is White gold Day Date as it has 44 diamonds on the bezel, the one in the right is a Ref 1803 White gold, why we can tell if that is White gold not Platinum, becasue the rectangular diamond is shorther than those on Platinum.

                  

T

This is no question stainless steel watch as this is Date Just , it does not come with Yellow Gold or Platinum.

But the Bezel is made of 18KT white Gold. Yes, there is Yellow gold Date just.

 

The one on the left is White Gold Day Date ref 18049 because there are 44 diamond on the bezel and the rectangular diamond is shorter than the one show below!
The one in the right is Stainless steel Date Just, (stainless steel only)


This is a Platinum Day Date Ref 18346 becasue there are 46 diamond on the bezel, and also the rectangular diamond at 6 O'clock is longer, can you notice? In Shorter, in later model like Ref 18346, the diamond is longer!

This is a classic , collector's dream watch Rolex Day Date Ref 1804, platinum as it has 46 diamond on the Bezel.

Rolex Ref 1804, Platinum 46 Diamonds

This is a Rolex Day Date Platinum, as it is printed on a 1978 Rolex Catalogue it was stated Platinum, note that there is 46 Diamond on the bezel, Ref 1804.

This is the fun part of Collecting Rolex as there are so many variations, different kind of dial, cases, and moreover a lot of knowledge for us to learn.

PS, I can not be right all the time as there are so many excetional, but here is base on what we learnt over the years.

Correct me if I am wrong!

Don't judge too soon on a Man's Personality from his Watch!

Don’t judge too soon on a man from his watch…

There are always paradox on what we could see and sometimes all it takes is a bit more time to analyses on the people you meet. 

People says the first 7 seconds of interview had made the manager to determine that interviewee is to be hire already by the HR manager.  True!?

Don’t judge too early from his watch on the person’s personality…

There is always real great character with lousy cheap watch and lousy cheap people with Rolex.

I am not trying to say Rolex Is Cheap Watch… it is good watch of good quality.

What I am trying to say is that it is perfect would be a good Quality people who wears good quality Rolex. LOL!

Rolex Submariner Hulk and GMT Master II Blue Shopping in Cairns, Queensland of Australia

One Colleague of mine, a Senior Marketing Manager had a chance to go Cairns for a vacation and glad to see that there is One Submariner Hulk Ref 116610LV and One GMT Master II Blue Ref 116710BLNR  left at the SHOP!

The Rolex AD shop keeper said that they have only one of them every month, Every time Chinese come, they buy them ALL.

So we are lucky as we can see them before the big spenders comes!

We took the Submariner with AUD$10,500, after the 11% tax deduction, the net price was AUD$9,345 (that is about HKD$65,415).

In Hong Hong, this watch is selling at HKD$66,100 net no discount. So that is even cheaper to buy in Australia than HK!

If you are there, go and look for it…. Well, it was last week, I believe that watch should be sold already!!

Dick Tracy's Wrist Radio comes into Commerical Products after 67 years, finally!

                     Warren Beatty as "Dick Tracy' in the 1991 movie

Dick Tracy

The newspaper-comics cop got his smartwatch in 1946. We're still waiting for ours.

After 67 years, we could see this idea was adopted and on Commercial Sales in the shelf.

Samsung SmartWatch

On 4 Sept Samsung SK Shin, appeared in Berlin at the IFA trade show, Samsung showed off one of its worst kept secrets, the Galaxy Gear. Sony also showed off its smart watch, although it's hardly a newcomer to this field; Sony's effort will be the SmartWatch 2, a device it first announced back in June. 

Pebble

Smart watches aren't entirely a new concept, but they're something that's been slow to gain traction in recent years. Sony has dabbled with them. Pebble  http://getpebble.com/ made headlines and a lot of seed capital out of a very successful Kickstarter campaign that ultimately led to frustrated backers when Pebble couldn't quite deliver on time. Everyone seemed to agree that the idea was one with merit, but nobody delivered on a really compelling smart watch product.

Next Comers

Alongside Sony and Samsung, rumours swirl around Apple, Google and Microsoft eyeing up this particular space.

Rolex and Swatch

"Finding the right price for smartwatches will be hard. The sweet spot will be similar to designer watches versus Rolex or Swatch," commented Carolina Milanesi, a smartphones analyst at research group Gartner.

Aftermath, It is time for me to prepare some money for buying Samsung Note III, Where Am I going to wear, left hand with a Rolex and Right hand with a SmartWatch? No way!

A very Special Rolex “Submariner Emerald” for Special people, for Who?

                                                     Hocus Pocus 1991 Christmas Special Watch

                                          Tony Leung, Wong Kar Wai and Zhang Zi Yi

                           Jacky Chan, The Submariner Emerald Would be matching you perfectly!

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?

                This Old lady used her only weapon, he hand bag to fought all five robbers!

   

A 71 bad ass old lady in Red coat fought off the armed Robbery attempting for Rolex with her hang bags only

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.
