Special Note when you purchase Rolex in Japan.

Whilst you are going to Japan for shopping, you might want to buy a Rolex for your own use or even for Collection.

Beware that you have to remind the sales executive not to remove the tape on your Brand New Rolex in advance.

As many of our friends were not aware , after the payment is settled, they remove the tape of the Watch faster than you can see....


So if that is for Collection, it has been automatically transformed from e Brand New into USED Rolex.

Please remind them and make sure they understand before you pay for that, same thing has happened colleague of mine bought a Deep Sea Black a Bucherer, even!

Falcon "Russian Coat of Arm" iPhone6 USD$525,000

Note if I am wrong in reading this or they have used the wrong currency, this Bespoke "Russian Coat of Arm" Luxury Phone made by Falcon is asking Minimum  USD$525,000!

I guess that they have to pay a lot for the royalty on using that Russian Coat of Arm?

It seems that no one has seen a real Falcon iPhone, I am trying to see it, It must be well made!

Any one who has seen one? Please show me as I wanna see how does it look like with a half a Million Dollar Phone!


I,  Being an ambassadors of Omega Elite, I make our price of our Bespoke iPhone6 or 6S under order is selling with basic 24 KT yellow Gold, Rosegold or Platinum with merely USD$6,500 in Hong Kong. I think that is a reasonable price with certain margin that we can generate more R & D for our next Product like no others!

Omega Elite Production line is almost full now, we can only deliver a custom design iPhone in not less than 3 weeks.

Second Hand Love And Second Hand Watch

Park Hotel Maximillian , Regensburg, Germany

Park Hotel Room that I used to Stay , Room 204!

Though late at night, I sit alone and count the tears that fall.

 I'd rather have this kind of love, then not see you at all.

 My friends all say, I'm better off if we should drift apart.

 But everyday, I hope and pray I'll be first in your heart.

It's all over town, you put me down.

 I'm a second hand love, a second hand love...

 Just a second hand love, a second hand love….

This is a beautiful sweet song sung by Connie Francis…

I don't mind second hand or third hand love, so long she loves me more!

I have thought of friends who never like Second hand stuff, no matter, car, bags, handphone…  house,….and watches!

That is not because of just Narcissism that he wants something perfect and he loves thing to be brand Mint!

Of course, he has to pay more for Mint Daytona Paul Newman than a used one.

Well, true, no one tends to use something that has been used by someone before… some old Chinese has saying that “pre-owned Watch?” That watch possibly been worn by someone who has passed away…..

They Said “Dai Gut Lai Si" (大吉利是)， I don't know how to translate it…May be….“very bad luck”

I rather don’t have such concern and sometimes I found some old watch could even brought be “Lai Si”，(利是) Good Luck!

May be the owner was a great person who brings me some of his “Spirit”  (靈氣) if that is JFK’s Rolex!?  It worth a big fortune!

I have been seeing one chap only wearing that “White Gold Day Date “Every day, that that was one he bought from pre-owned market. He says, Thing gets SMOOTH! He had tried to get rid of it, thing become UNSMOOOTH”

Is that superstitious?

 JFK's Rolex Day Date

Martin Ruther King's Rolex Date Just

In the market some of the used watches are more expensive that brand new Watches, of course there are a lot used watches are cheaper than the mint new in box!

Think this way, the Room 204 of Maximilian hotel Regensburg which was built on 1890 had definitely been people dying on the exact location when you sleep in the bed. In. So should you go for a new hotel for checking in!? Of course no way.

When you sit in the first class seat 4C of Cathay pacific, have you even thought of that exact seat had been having a DEAD passenger who died of stroke in the air!?  OK, next time book seat No. 13A….haha!

It depends how you look at this matter at all, Guang Xi people tends to put one Small Coffin in the living room as it bring in Good Fortune, “ Getting Rich and getting promotion.

Only you can decide if that is good for you or not. Don't care too much is that new or old.

“4” sounds same as “Dead” with Cantonese people! It is worse Number HK peoples does not like!

"4C" ...wow, no good!

All Cathay Pacific flights do not have seat No. 13.

My Contact +639989811111

There may have confusions on my Whatsapp contact.

As I used to have two Philippine numbers for
Whatsapp.

Since I shuttle between Manila and Hong Kong.

If you use Philippine SIM, it is very expensive even though you turn off your Data or Data Roaming, as once you turn on your phone overseas, they WILL not care and charge you Peso 550 a day  (HKD$98)


I consulted some Phone gurus, they advised me either Remove the SIM card or go to Airplane mode when I am in HK.

IT WORKS!!

So you can now Whatsapp me to my Smart Philippine Number +639989811111.

Saturday Crap

I love these two faces as they are happy

A good company truly values Human Resources, but a lousy one will try to suppress the older people by demanding more whilst paying less.

There are only 2% of US companies can last more than 40 years.

Average Life of all Taiwanese Companies is 13 years.

Average life of all Japanese Company is 12.5 years.

China? 8 years only.

All these are people dependent....

I always try to make my official work part time.

I don't afraid some of my colleagues tell my superior, it is OK as I am about time to retire and make my hobby a career.

And I believe now and next decade, Internet media and your personal contact is your most treasurable asset.

I always think when you get older, you are getter less popular in the eyes of the Boss? Don't agree? What is your last review percentage!?

If you are more than 10%, it is a blessing.

If it is 6% just OK.

Anything less than 4% is reflecting that either your value is below what you should be, or the company has to do something seriously and boldly.

I am not into tattoos, and I think that was not being valued by some of the older people like I. Somehow this is one example that she has changed my mind.... Simply she is beautiful.
And she wears a beautiful Clothe!

Look at 90 years old grand master of Wing Chun, Ip Chun.  Have you noticed his fingers?  All fingers are of same length?

What happens to this Rolex, a Day Date without Fluted bezel? Why there is no fluted bezel!?

The most expensive Day Date is having smooth bezel (platinum version)
Ref 118206 platinum 36mm smooth bezel with President bracelet MRSP HKD$430,000

And the cheapest Rolex Date just has smooth bezel too,
Ref 116000 stainless steel; 36mm smooth Bezel smooth bezel on oyster bracelet MRSP HKD$40,000.

Rolex is very keen on making similar things different and different things similar! What a Rolex!
