Is the wine Older the better? How about your Rolex?

Some of the best wine could be stored up for 100 years, still too YOUNG to be drunken. Like Chateau Margraux 1900, we speculate that it will be best to be consumed by 2020, that is 120 years after bottled!

We have tasted some of the good wine in the century, and yet up to this moment Chateau Laffite 1982 is yet to be opened for best taste, at best it is suggested to be opened by 2015-2020.  Chateau Mouton 2000, which is so heavy like honey, speculate to be stored up to 2020 for drinking.

The best wine I have tasted is 1966 Chateau Margaux, 1986 Chateau Laffite, 1992, 1996 Petrus.

It does not mean older is better, it depends on the year, soil, weather, and the winery who could possibly manage well for the wine.

Well, this is some of the 600 bottles I opened since 2006 up to now. They are just like Rolex 1945 Bubble back Oyster (1945 Chateau Mouton Rp100 points; estimated HKD$120,000), 1965 Daytona Paul Simon (1959 Chateau Latour Rp100 points; Estimated HKD$80,000), 1965 Submariner Comex (1982 Chateau Laffite Rp100, estimated HKD$48,000), 1977 Ref 19019 OysterQuartz Oak Dial White Gold (1989 Petrvs Rp 98 points, estimated HKD$58,000)…

Next time when you open a bottle of Top Five Red wine with Rp98 or higher, don’t forget to invite some of your best friend to taste it.

And as a conclusion, an older wine does not indicate it is better, but for a Rolex, an older is always better in value.

How to compare the Top Five wine and the top Five Rolex Model!?

These are the top five wine from Bordeaux
Chateau Lafifte
Chateau Latour
Chateau Margraux
Chateau Mouton
Chateau Haut Brion

Rolex Daytona is just Like Chateau Latour - as it is Strong and Powerful, full body like Pamela, never disappoint you, adventurous life style!

Rolex Day Date is just like Chateau Lafifte - as it is well balanced, serve all purposes; a beginer, a wine expert, Even Robert Parker, a gentleman of Wine, like a sweet lady that could spend with you in a hotel room 5 days never come out of the door!

This is likely the Top one of the Five. My Favourite wine if I had that money!

Rolex Submariner is just like Chateau Mouton - As it is innovative, every year has a new artistic design label like your diving into another deep sea in the islands of the Philippines.

Rolex Date Just is just like Chateau Margaux- It is mild to moderate strong wine but with full fragance, I had opened that 1966 bottle, the guests of the next table in Prince Restaurant came to me asking what wine is this!?

Rolex GMT master is just like Chateau Haut Brion- Strong and full or characters, low profile, but it is one of the top Five!

Those were the days as I am now a poor snob, I still drink a lot, but likely wine from friends, the next table, or the restaurant's House Wine!!

Manny Pacquiao Triumph Brings Cheer to Typhoon-hit Tacloban

Sunday, November 24, 2013

TACLOBAN CITY -- Thousands of survivors of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) erupted into wild cheers Sunday 24 Nov, to celebrate the victory of Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao, bringing back laughter and revelry briefly to a central Philippine region that was turned into a corpse strewn wasteland by the powerful storm.

Pacquiao's triumph over American Brandon Rios in Macau served as a rallying point for many still-traumatized survivors, many of whom lost loved ones and their homes to the November 8 typhoon, which killed more than 5,200 people and left 1,600 others missing. Haiyan also damaged or destroyed one million homes, displacing more than three million people.

But on Sunday, many jumped repeatedly in joy as they cheered on Pacquiao, who won by unanimous decision to take the WBO international welterweight title.

I went Cebu last week and found some of the hot Tee-shirt on sales in supporting the homeless people. "Bangon Talocban" means Rise again Taocban!.

I was told that there is long queue in Manila to buy those T-sheet. from peso 199 to 250 each.

Philippine National hero Manny Pacquiao wears A Rolex GMT Master worth 5.6M Pesos.

Rolex Day Date Ref 1803

That is a way we had mentioned that there is fun to collect Ref 1803 as that was the so far a joyful watch for everyone who had experienced 1967 Hong Kong Riot, HKCR Lam Bun was burnt to death live by Kerosene in his Volkswagen Beetle.

There are many “home-made Pineapples” (bombs) along Prince Edward Road. You could a flat of 600 square feet with a Rolex Day Date. 1973 Financial crisis Hang Seng index dropped to 173 points and many people suicided, 1981 that the prime rate for mortgage is 20%. 1997 Asian Economy melt down…Real Estate shot up to sky high 30,000 point.

Sales personnel ate Shark fin stewed with Rice at lunch. But all it goes up must come down, by end of the year, many more people get Bankruptcy…

Only one thing is Rolex Watches , always being criticized is BEST, especially Rolex Day Date, Ref 1803. As it carried as many as 43 colour dial, and some are with diamond some are having diamond on bezel, more collectible is those made of Platinum and White gold, we had tried to put as many as 43 colour and design variation and combination of dial.

A few friends of mine in HK would have been saving a lot of them, one of them already got about 15 pcs and still have a lot of to go. I hope one day he can save up all Ref 1803 Colour dial.

I think there should be more like using some gem, wood fossil to make the dial. There should have more than 43 colour combination.… How comes I could not see "Yellow"?

Let’s find out more!

On one side, people is suffering loss of home and family members, on the other side, some people is spending thousands dollars for Pacquiao Vs Rios Fight at Macao

 

A man in dispair looks at the wreckage of destroyed houses in Tacloban on November 10,  

In one side, People is suffering loss of home and family members at Tacloban, on another side some people are spending Thousands of dollars for Pacquiao Vs Rios fight at Macao.

When I returned from Philippines Yesterday night, I had a chance to meet two beautiful Philipinas who GM of a company and one is a Lawyer, she carried an Orange Prada and wearing a Rolex 26mm Date Just Pink gold two tone with diamond dial and the other sitting window seat was having a Louis Vuitton bag.

She saw me making mosaic assembly Rolex watch pictures on my NB, she glanced my Rolex Pictures and we started to chat with me, she asked me how to set the hour and date of her Rolex!! I was a bit shock that she did not know how to set the watch, the date was “9” instead of “22”, the time was 2 O'clock in the afternoon.

You may think I am BS!

No! I taught her how to unscrew the crown, set the time and date properly and how to start the watch with 10-15 windings before locking up the crown for water tight.

She is coming HK yesterday and will move to Macao to watch the fight between Pacquiao and Rios. They made a last minute booking and paying Peso 36,000 for the PAL ticket and someone has sponsored them the boxing ticket.

She told me that that there were a few politicians chatting in the Business Class section. She was asking me to help for buying her another 31mm Lady Date just with silver dial two tone yellow gold…

On the other side I had visited Cebu customer on Thursday 20 Nov., I was bit worried that the trip was having hiccups, and it was peacefully just besides too many people flying from Manila to Cebu, I was upgraded to business class.

In Tacloban, No building in this coastal city of 200,000 residents appears to have escaped damage from Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yohanla) on 8 Nov,  Most roads were impassable; all communications except for satellite phones were down; medical supplies, food and water were scarce; and there were reports of looting.

The million people who lived along the coast, many of them in rough-built shacks, may have been worst affected by what some said was a 5-foot storm surge that spread through the city of Tacloban at the height of the storm and with devastating speed.

This typhoon had taken away my two Service engineers home!  It would be saying that they are not the worse cases as their family members are all safe!

It seems that there is such a group of Rich people going to spend hefty of money for a Boxing Game in Macao whereas thousands of people are having no fresh watch, food or shelter…

That is a world of extreme. Especially in such a country like Philippines. I think the President and the people of Philippines should do something to change this once was the Richest Country in Asia.

Rolex's New Watches 2013.

I modified the cut out pictures of Rolex Catalogue HK Verison June 2013

Rolex has its watch glamour over the years , they have created a lot of great beautiful dials and various combination of designs on Day Date since 1956, applying various kind of precious metal to cast  the sturdy Oyster case that houses the reliable and accurate mechanical Chronometer movement. In 2013, that Rolex has some new elements in making some of these eye-catching watches.

Platinum Daytona with ice blue dial and brown bezel, Day Date with 6 colour choice for those who have been blaming they are too young to put a Day Date on.

The Blue Bezel GMT Master that people is the long waiting list for one, the platinum Yachtmaster, and not forgetting those demanding women who need something matching with them with flamboyant colour dial decorations…

Hong Kong Is Still One Of The Most Exciting Places For Shopping, Eating And Perhaps Purchase Of Luxury Goods

  The Above pictures were taken by YKL, using Canon 5D, All Rights Reserved by YKL.

Hong Kong is still one of the most exciting places for Shopping, Eating and Sight Seeing in Asia.

Well, this is true that many people do like the food in Hong Kong, as we have almost every kinds of food in the world, from 10 dollars for 5 Fish balls to HKD$30,000 an dry abalone, from a HKD$50 bottle Table wine to a HKD$100,000 a bottle of Laffit.  From HKD$20 watches in Sham Shui Po Ap Liu Street to HKD$8,500,000 a watch from Roger Dubuis…

Well, as I always mention, the process of looking for the things you like is more pleasurable than you have bought it home sometimes…

Somewhat like when you are interested in your supermodel girl friend, there is a lot of imagination about her… however when you had her… well, that would be another story, you may want to escape from her ASAP!

Come for a tour in Hong Kong's country park, try the best HK milk tea at Nam Heung Yuen, go to the Sham Shui Po for a brisk walk, or Cat Street catching up some of the lost 60’s memory stuff. Jump into the ferry shuttling between Hong Kong island and Cheung Chou, try hiding yourselves with your beloved one in a small hotel at Silvermine bay for whole Sunday, Switching off the Note Book computer and handset!

Sweep your black diamond card for a platinum Patek Philippe, or Buy a bottle of Chateau Margraux 1900 and share with some of the best girl who knows Red Wine… if your life style is not like Mr. Lee Shiu Kee who could donate a piece of Land valued HKD$ 10,000,000 to build shelter for the sensor citizens.

How would like you to handle your money!? Or Pass it to your son or daughter who couldn’t be happier  to buy a Ferrari whilst his parent had never worn a better watch for the whole life!?
