Voice for the Mainland Chinese...

I did see those rich people really toss their unduly request for more… there was furious guy on my left asked the Chief Purser to adjust the air con colder. She did but failed to meet his COOL requirement…He worn an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak stainless steel 44mm Chronometer.

The one on my right was a Gweilo Business man did the same to hang his legs up the partition in front of him, well, if he has Hong Kong Foot, definitely the stinky foot would spoil my appetite. He worn a Seiko 5 Auto stainless steel watch with a Silicone watch band…

 

Mainland Chinese has been labeled as rude, impolite, and

arrogant in recent years by many HK people.


To be fair to them, those are just the minority happened to be found in HK, remember 70% HK's visitors is from China.

Here we can see not only Chinese Tao Hu was reported having this bad habit, it is not uncommon to see Gweilo, Phlippino, HKer, Indian, American, Singaporean, whoever would likely behave this way. 

And I think that we should always bear in mind to be considerate and have certain etiquette no matter when, and where…

I am glad that we have the aircraft to be a non-smoking zone everywhere...

I am afraid one day we will be allowed to talk on mobilephone…then we will never be able to take a rest in the aircraft anymore!

Everything goes Rental!

For almost everything , you can get rental in HK

Houses, VCD/DVC/Blue Ray/ , Hotel, Office, Chinese Wedding dress, Dragon Pheonix, double happiness 24kt gold bracelet ( I am not sur eif this is the proper name!) 

Rolls Royce wedding limo with driver, Luxaury Yacht, jet plane, Woman body as for some rich family’s daughter in law rental, but she must get a son or much lesser reward with offspring for a daughter…old Chinese thinking… son instead of daughter as the next heritage of the family’s wealth.

Old people teaches us don't rent as eventually you will get nothing. But somehow if current real estate price of HK remains high at this level.

I bet most of the current newly married couple has difficulties to buy a Love-Nest. Only remaining choice is to rent, at same time save up enough money for the down payment of their own home later…after several years…

Now a new category has joined the rental-rich trend: luxury watches.

A startup company called Eleven James has launched a timepiece timeshare that allows customers to get a new luxury watch every couple of months for an annual fee. The watches range in value from $7,000 to $50,000  or more, and include top names like Rolex, Audemars Piguets, Cartier and Patek Philippe.

Well, do you think you could possibly go into this RENT-A-WATCH!?

What if the watch was ripped off at corner of somewhere, or damaged accidentally, or spoiled inside a Sauna room? Will there is any argument of fraud cheating on the Expensive timepiece?

Well, there is an estimated 40% unhappy HK people borrow money from Bank for overseas tours, and more and more people will tend to spend their saving for some short term enjoyment!? Look at those hundred squadron of sex soldiers running to North after Friday evening for a paid one night stand at KTV…Sauna Clubs.. that could be an estimated expenditure of HKD$50M!

Watch is not like home, car that you can USE it. Watch is one of your personal belonging, I would not rent a watch for 3 Months even it is 10% of the original selling price… It is too Expensive!

Wherever you are, this is the ONLY watch adjusted to the time Zone on the Earth Automatically… Seiko GPS Solar Astron

The smooth Bezel is made of dark blue Ceramic material

Watch has taken a series of technological breakthrough, namely…

The introduction of the quartz watch in 1969  In place of a balance wheel which oscillated at 5 beats per second, it used a quartz crystal resonator which vibrated at 8,192 Hz, driven by a battery powered oscillator circuit.

1970 Bulova Accutron Tuning Fork watch.

In 1990, Junghans offered the first radio-controlled wristwatch, the MEGA 1. In this type, the watch's quartz oscillator is set to the correct time daily by coded radio time signals broadcast by government-operated time stations such as WWVH, received by a radio receiver in the watch. This allows the watch to have the same long-term accuracy as the atomic clocks which control the time signals. Recent models are capable of receiving synchronization signals from various time stations worldwide.

Seiko has been leader in Electronic watch using Solar, Kinetic as Hybrid catch, Shows the latest Solar GPS launched Sept 2013.

Unlike radio control watches, which work only in a small part of the world's land mass, Astron recognizes all the currently recognized time zones on earth.

Wherever you are on the earth, on Tai Mo Shan or Victoria Peak, of Mt. Everest,  with only the push of a button operation, Astron pinpoints its location and identifies your exact time by receiving GPS signals from 4 or more GPS satellites.

Astron never stops unless it receives all the power it needs from light absorbed through the dial and it has a power reserve indicator to show the amount of energy stored. It does not need a battery.

Whenever the dial is exposed to bright light, the watch automatically receives GPS signals.

It is light comparing with the size of it, as the sample I had today is made of Titanium, the bezel is a ceramic, very smooth and cold, It should be ceramic… it is very comfortable to wear!

The watch case material is a bit HARDER than the Titanium bracelet as I have seen scratches on the bracelet but not on the watch case… to my wonder, what material of the watch case made!?

Price: this watch is belonged to my colleague who bought it with HKD$22,000

Well, he may not get any discount, so it is the list price…

For that money, you are buying the World leading technology and look at the workmanship, it is Excellent Quality, … Same watch made in Swiss, I believe that could be 4X more expensive. Whether you need this accuracy is purely another matter!
