Rolex DateJust with the Rarest Dial of Lapis Azuli Dial, with Bubble Diamond and the Most LUCKY model No. 16233...more...






What can you buy with HKD$60,000 for A Rolex?
Probably an Explorer II, a Submariner, a Stainless steel Date Just, of a Milgauss Green Glass!

Can you buy a Two Tone Rolex? I'm sorry, you have to pay a bit more.

Can
you buy a Lapis Azuli dial with diamond? Well, I do not think so!
Nowaday, a Date Just 36mm men Two tone with 10 diamond on MOP Ref 116234 list price is $92,200.


Well, this is what, NOS Rolex Ref 16233 men 36mm Date Just Two Tone Yellow gold and steel, with Lapis Blue diamond, Jubilee Strap, How much!? HKD$72,950 list price.... before the "Discount!"

This is a discontinued item still using the old price. There was two sold alreay in this year and Still have three left...

People know Lapis blue know what they are and if you think this is not the most value for money Rolex we can buy today, tell me what else would be!

Being a Chinese who does not like this Ref 16233!?? nice model number!  The Colour of the Lapis Blue dial is unique. No wonder Dala Lama like Lapis Blue Dial Rolex!

Check when stock still last in one of the Rolex AD....!

Manual Winding Automatic Watch Winder

There is watch Maniac who had once purchased an Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar, there is a free Auto Watch Winder with size of a shoe box comes with the expensive Watch.
However that special dry battery cells only can be available at AP AD, it is HKD$250 for the pack of battery that it may be used for a period of three months.
So Friend of mine modified the AP Auto watch winder with a hand crank like mechanism. He saves up the battery cell un-used.
So every time he left office for home, first thing he does is to put the watch with a price of BMW 530 into the watch winder, and manually rotate the handle to wind up the Winder with that AP watch!

He Does it everyday!

They agreed to face each other on the Thames on Sunday 6 April 2014 in a challenge laid down by the Cambridge University Boat Club President after they lost in 2013.


As the Official timekeeper of the famous rowing competition, JEANRICHARD participated in these kick-start proceedings.

Aquascope “Boat Race” model with its self-winding movement.

What I like about this watch is the Satin fine line dial, they are made as a simple way to carry out the touch up for a sport watch design, the size is 44mm, bold and large, clearly to tell the time, big bezel that could not be ambiguous in tell the timer.
Antireflective Sapphire crystal, and Big Hour Pointer is a nice feature. If there is shoulder beside the crown would be a step close to perfect.
Blue is the Colour of the year for Watch, it is never lose the pace in keeping up the fashion. The Red Pointer second is a Icing on the cake.
I am Checking what Special Number we have in HK JR AD so that we can reserve one!

Hong Kong should be proud of itself, being a small city and is world largest Consumption of Luxury Watches!


Hong Kong consumes about 40% of World's Luxury Watch every year. Being the World's Largest Watch Market.
No wonder why the Swiss watch company would have selected Hong Kong as the 2nd location outside Switzerland for World Watch Fair last month.

Rob Brown was accused using a fraudulent Credit card to purchase Movado watch in Macy's NY.





Rob Brown was arrested and handcuffed for using Fake AMEX card buying a Movado Watch At Macy’s
Rob Brown, actor known for his work on the HBO show Treme and from movies like Finding Forrester, Coach Carter, and the recent release, Don Jon, says that he was arrested this summer by officers in Macys in Herald Square after purchasing a $1, 350 Movado watch as a graduation present for his mother.
While making a purchase there, Brown says he was approached by officers out of uniform who arrested him and accused him of using a fake card to buy the watch in Macy’s. He was handcuffed and walked into a holding area for shoplifters inside of Macy’s on an upstairs level.
“They kept telling me, ‘Your card is fake. You’re going to jail,” Brown said in an interview AC360 CNN Yesterday.
After 45 minutes and checking through the actor’s bags, police realized they made a mistake and let him go. Though he was late because of the incident, Brown says he was able to make it to his mother’s graduation (police gave him a ride), but that didn’t stop him from sharing his distaste over the incident on Twitter soon after back in June and the case was on CNN yesterday AC360.
There is many repeated cases that Racial profiling is common in a Country Like USA. What if this case could happened in HK.

This is Original Rolex Sky-Sweller Design


How do you like this watch design, I think it is nice and I want to get one too if that is available. Definitely not from Rolex as Rolex never product anything Black or Coated with hardened chrome!
No! this is the design work of Beau Hudspeth who does the artwork and concepting after he choose the models and styles to focus on. The Rolex SkyDweller.
Have a Happy Halloween Day!
