A watch tells what you are…
The standard of beauty and the appreciation of beautiful things sometimes aligned with most of the people likeness … is that what fashion is called?
After the people feel bore for a period of time, months or years, some of the people who has the need to stand up to be a rebel to show his or her own taste.
Who is the earlier rebel is the pioneer of the fashion…
Like if the things she wears does give you a pleasant impression… if yes., no matter a Daytona of 40mm of a JLC 101*… it does serve the purpose…if she loves to wear!
The big watch has been dominating in the market for almost 20 years, big means something over 36mm for men and something larger than 31 mm for lady…
So the smaller beautiful antique watches typically smaller than 30mm had been hidden at the dark vault for many years. In fact I have seen more and more elegant women putting on some of the best vintage classic lady watches in these few years, starting with sophisticated business women, fashion designers, and now more and more younger girls are their followers..
I have not forgotten those smaller beautiful elegant watches that I have seen at the watch shop when I was in college… however when I looked at the price, I don't think I could not buy one for my mother …well, I had no girl friend at that time…in fact, people knows me I married my first wife 7 days after I met her… She is to me like a Rolex Ref 179136…She is a Siam Cat!
Now if you have time, don't forget to keep an eye of some of the best Vintage beautiful watch for lady…
But it for your mother, wife, or girl friend, as it is still in reasonable good price…
When more people join this Rebel team of Fashionable watches … then the price will go up…
Brands like… Patek Philippe, Rolex, Vacharon Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Omega, Cartier, Breguet, Longines, Ebel, Piaget, Gruen, Tiffany, JLC, Universal…etc.
You have a lot of places to find these watches…Sham Shui Po, TST, MK, Cat Street…and more…
The above pictures are some of the cut out from a recent Japanese watch magazine on lady’s watches…
See how sweet the ladies are… I don't mind I could let her have my watches and she could kiss me Once!
Life is short, my friend… a kiss may make you change your whole life... if that is not “Kiss of Death”! 
Go and find a decent one for HER!

Narcissism of the DeepSea



As I have mentioned that this DeepSea D-blue would have been the most difficult to find...
Well, if you have it, you are those of the few lucky guys in the world...

As I could not find even one in over 30 AD in Europe,

Nowadays this watch has been selling like Euro 12,250 in Europe....

Should you find one, keep it... if you don't have the special Booklet, you may have to Buy one from the market when there are still available... this is the one needed to be included as to qualify as  "Full Set"

打工仔自救術 (1)


裝聾份啞

本死無大害。

'你比我一元,我會做個二、你比我八角、我做六角錢工作、這才對。

吾好賴勒力……假日,夜晚應當把電腦關上。

覺得自己是對、應該據理力爭

覺得自已做錯、應該打死吾認…

吾好比人睇死、要靠這一份工開飯……

做嘢做十足……你注定食粥

做嘢做六成……呢D叫做醒!

從昨日口開始、每日早二小時收工……遲二時開工。

我願吃開眉粥……

吾要愁眉飯。

打工仔血淚史 (1)




加人工不在自己手中,

打工仔永遠無多勞多得、

事事聘命於別人、老闆

老門闆愛聽好聽的,吾想聽到問題!

契仔可以豪洗錢、你呢,樣樣算住 .

你越老越吾可愛……因為你人工高

你吾好以為自己公司幾十年好了不起,好忠心……老闆話我有糧出比你的!

你三個伍、小心呀?年個五十、月薪五萬以上、眼耳手脚腦都比其它人慢!

You are on the chopping list!

賣到嘢吾好牙擦擦、因為功是你上司領的……有什麼你老闆白痴做错……你最好準備接這個鑊代罪Kao!

吾能好以為公司好需要你、相反、你老闆話無左你、公司會發展得更能快。

中庸之道、有好計劃、比老闆知……等老闆做……真係掂的、你好彩、如果衰左,你最好準備一下身後事!

見到老闆偷食、扮睇吾到、見到老闆蛇王,釣魚、吾好周維唱……

見到老闆無拉拉鍊、吾好賴叻提示他、最好當看吾到。

工司有制度……坐飛機一定找到一些無績分又最便宜的給你……廉航之類……因為公司cheap 左、無法子了……如果廉航推出企位機票……一定有你份兒。

你應該有自知之名……你戴PP, AP or Rolex上班……請預左無人功加……因為薪水調整呢家嘢……有制度的公司都喺. 依仗個人主觀表直覺比分的……這樣才是真正KPI精髓所在。

 This Gentleman is the one used to sell Chinese Calligraphy paper to HK Snob
He is A Chinese Calligrapher
 He Does not Open on Sunday.
 
 
 
Tsuen Wan is the terminus of the MTR Red Lane, I can say this is the central hub between East and West of New territories. An Important transportation terminal.
 

 
Even as late as in the 1950s, Chung On Street was still the only significant road in Tsuen Wan, and a small bazaar was formed here.

In the 1930s, the former Heung Yee Kuk chairman, Mr. Chan Wing On, founded “Dai Chung Teahouse” and “Ping On Pharmacy” in the area, and “Chung On Street” was named after these two shops.

Chung On Street in Tsuen Wan, better known as the "jewellery and goldsmith square" started  four years ago,

There are a few Rolex AD Shops there, namely Chow Seng Seng, two Chow Tai Fook and Tai Hing, where are within the same street.

Next Time, if you pass by Tsuen Wan, stop and look for some of the best local stuff there.

There are The Famous Wing Chun School, The Ti Da Clinic, the best Egg Omelets and Beef Noodles of Cala cafe.

The Melon Seed King, and the shop I used to buy Chinese special paper for my Calligraphy practice.

Don't forget Tsuen Wan has a lot of gold smith. As for Rolex AD, it carries sometimes a small surprise for you.

Why as most of the people would like to shop a TST?
 
Who will come to Tsuen Wan to Buy Rolex…so, it may be a hidden treasure for you.

PS or you may or may not know, the Hong Kong Highest Sauna is in Chung On Street...
