What Watches did Ip Man wear?






Ip Man is a legendary Fung Fu Grandmaster, that is no question about it.

Someone has asked me recently what watch Ip man was wearing when he was in Hong Kong?

I started to find friends of mine and someone who knows Ip Man.

Someone Said Omega Seamaster and someone said Ernest Borel, and from what I see on all his pictures, he seemed did not wear any watches at all.

And From all the recent five Ip man Movies I have seen including the Wong Kar Wai's latest "The Grandmasters" 
There is nothing on his wrist, may be a Real Fung Fu man needs a super tough watch and I believed his speed of straight Punch would damage any watch made at that time…
So if you know about him, or you are the student of Ip Chun, please tell me what watch Ip Man worn when he was in HK!

How Much Gold Rolex uses up a year!?


HK Snob's Collection of Gold and Silver Tie Clip, bracelet, Cuff Links...


This is the world longest word which is non chemical, non  technical word: Antidisestablishmentarianism.
I cannot understand this word, only after I look up from the dictionary.

Then do you know how many kilo of gold Rolex uses a year?
Base on the estimation, 200,000 watches is solid gold, and about 200,000 Two tone watches.
One Standard 36mm Day Date weighs about 145 gram in weight with 110 gram the weight of gold. Rolex Produces DD II 42mm, and various size of Two Tone carries 18 KT Gold...

With an estimation:  ..36,000 Kilogram of 24K solid gold. That is HKD$350 Million of gold.

Rolex Explorer I Ref 14270 and Ref 214270




Matt Damon and his Explorer I Ref 14270



Two Generations of Explorer I. Which one you prefer?

Explorer I Ref 14270  (36mm)
When I travelled to Singapore, I went to People’s park oriental Watch Shop buying Four Explorer I
Ref 14270 with Each HKD$14,900. At That time, that was a hot item and not so many stock available, something like the GMT Master II Blue in HK now.
I sold One of them at Cost to one of my colleague, and three of them sold with some profit of HKD$3,000 each.

Ref 214270
Now The new face listed Explorer I Ref 214270 (39mm) is selling HKD$48,200, assuming less 10% discount, that is HKD$43,380.
Major Difference other than size of the “Explorer “ is printed at O’clock position on Ref 214270.
Both watch strap is of size 20mm, Which I think it is best matching with size of the watch on Ref 14270.
Whereas the same strap is a bit smaller on Ref 214270.
Which One do you prefer!?
1. If you are looking for long term value Ref 14270 as the market value is HKD$29,000 to HKD$34,000 whereas Ref 214270 is selling HKD$28,000-30,000 in Pre-owned Watch market.
2. Rolex Ref 14270 fits for middle size man and women.
3. Seems Ref 14270 is more classic than Ref 214270.

Find the best one that suit you, both of them is good watch.

I think Woman wears the Older version of Ref 14270 looks very charming!

Bo Derek and Jenny Derek, Rolex Ref 1805 and Ref 118206


 Bo Derek

Rolex Day Date Ref 1805 Platinum


Rolex Ref 1805 Vs Ref 118206, Bo Derek Vs Jenny Derek
When I was young, Bo Derek was one of the girls that often appeared in dreams.
When I was young Ref 1805 was not the watch that I could afford, it was selling at least HKD$18,000 in 1967.

Nowadays, when my capability in earning improved a lot, yet still could not afford to buy the Latest Rolex Day Date Ref 118206 HKD$430,000. They are the beauty of two era, Bo Derek in the 70’s and Jenny Derek, daughter of Bo is the super beauty of nowadays…

Jenny Derek


Rolex Ref 118206 Day Date in Platinum

When we try to co-related these two beauties, Bo and Jenny, I think of Rolex Day Date Ref 1805 and
Ref 118206  As they have the same gene, a Rolex Tradition of watch making, an illustration of Sport excellence, and class of Platinum expression!

Can you see this picture, do you see something that is Moving!?- no, that is visual paradox.
Can you tell what is this? Money or Wallet? This is a Wallet made by bank note design washable cotton, not money.
Can you see this watch?, is that Rolex? Can you tell what is the dial display what month? What Date is that!? No, that is not Rolex!
Well, "Oct 3rd" is the display….Well, that is not paradox, that is the Birthday of HK Snob!
And Most of all, Thanks You for those who sent me wishes on my birthday.
I found myself wiser by one more year and closer one year to the end of life...and I always say One happy Today worth two unknown Tomorrow.

Rolex Explorer I Ref 14270

A  Human Psychological decision to take it or leave it!?
Have you ever been invited by a young and pretty lady who you know in 5 minutes in a bar to go to her house?
I bet you would not go with her!? In fact there are really many of this came into happy endings. There are 10/90 people Blood test would tell; “HIV +” the next week after.
When we get older, we are trained by our experience to alert ourselves always” Don’t go for it!”
Yes, there is no freebie in Hong Kong, but guess who that is a diamond bachelor that has good enough income to spend on these luxury items, When he got an upgrade, seem he want to let go it for cash.
When we go to buy something, when we could see too many available choice for you!
When there are too many choices, that is virtually no choice!
When we are offered good offer, people will suspect why the price is so good, why the offering price is so low!?
It happens real life…
People sell the Rolex Explorer I Ref 14270 at Price HKD$14,800? Mint with Box, certificate bought in Geneva! Do you want to take it!? That is the same price that I bought Explorer I in Singapore People's Park  1996! I bought Four one time. At that time, HKers liked that watch so much!
(Sold to Ringo on 1000, 4 Oct 2013)
Another one sells me his Ref 116610LV at HKD$64,000 but he used for four times.  Do you want to take it!?

Carla Bruni and Nicolas Zarkozy




Nicolas and his Patek Philippe watch



 Nicolas and his Girrad Paragaux Annual Calendar Equation of time. He Said, " I like Something Big!"





Carla Bruni and Nacolas Zarkozy
Carla Bruni who's to many of us nothing more than an average celebrity with unsuccessful musical career and enough Italian Genes to attract the French president Nacolas Zarkozy.  

Nicolas Sarkozy's wedding to Carla Bruni was held in 2008. The first lady had had enough with the way Nicolas wearing, a Rolex Daytona, which she thought that is not classy enough for the most powerful man in France, She bought him a Patek Philipe Calatrava.

In fact Nicolas Sarkozy is quite partial to a Rolex,  Sarkozy likes chunky Daytonas and has also sported a Breitling Navitimer, as well as Breguet, Girard Perregaux,  Cartier and Pequignet watches.
