Violence on the second day of the Year of Monkey

     Thanks for the beautiful shot on one of the Pinoy's Submariner.

Riot at Mong Kok area in the 2^nd day of the CNY, well, in other to get peace, democracy, wealth, we need patience, tactics, hard works, plans and good communication with the team leader… Just violent protects will not help and will not be acknowledged or gaining any supports from the majority of the people…especially many of the new reporters were assaulted!

"Monkey, Monk and the Monsters Go West" was based on Journey to the West, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of China.

There were plenty of greedy, pain, and evil demons in the world. Master Tang was assigned by the Buddha to travel to the West in quest of the Key of Wisdom which would save the world. During the journey to the West, Master Tang met his disciples Wu Kong, Ba Jie and Sha Seng. Relying on their wit, team spirit and courage, they eventually reached the destination.

We had a Wu Kong style violence last night, but we did not see this alone will able to get the Key of Wisdom, may be a coupon to the jail…

Apple Watch as an Luxury Watch as Patek Philippe and Rolex..

Rolex and Apple Watch

There has been a lot of discussion on the threat of Apple Watch on to the Swiss Luxury Watch Likes Patek Philippe, Rolex…etc.

According to a new study from the NetBase  (An analytics firm),  the Apple Watch tops the list once again, beating out Tag Heuer, Movado, Richemont, and Patek Philippe, along with Rolex!

Despite being the most insane thing I've ever come as a luxury consumer, Apple has managed to dominate online luxury chatter with its Watch. Sure it may be square, someone says it is UGLY, work poorly with apps, needs to be charged every night, and has no luxury appeal besides a gold casing (no platinum?), but people seem to like it and are eschewing traditional luxury brands in their tweets and posts.

According to the study, or how consumers perceive the brand's quality and the likelihood that they will stay loyal to it — rating for Rolex is 85 out of 100, while the Apple Watch is only a 58.

So if you're a watchmaker reading this, disembark from your yachts, go office work with your Ferrari, call the drivers, and gas up the jet, it's time to get back to work.

Year of The Monkey

What other programs are better than giving red pockets during Chinese New Year?

 

Giving red pockets is a custom for us Chinese. However, it is also a clinched activity for the younger generation. So, what can we do if we do not want to give red pockets?

 

The problem is what we can give to replace red pockets. Something red? Yes. I can think of the Jaeger Lecoultre Reverso Rouge. Or the Rolex Daydate Red Stella.

 

I would like to receive these two watches rather than red pockets in which I often find 20 dollar notes which sometimes echoes onto my lonely wallet.

 

Giving red pockets is a very bad custom in my opinion. Although it is seen as a custom, people often calculate the amount of money given. The more money given the more sincere they think you are. Whether to count the money given is a tough choice. To count or not to count? That is the problem.

 

But giving watches is a totally different thing. A good watch retains its value after years of use. It can be passed down generation by generation. A good watch is a good watch be it a used or BNIB one. A watch gives you way more joy than red pockets.

 

Try this in the coming Chinese New Year and your luck in the Year of the Monkey will be way better. But if you think giving others watches is too much, give DECENT red pockets.

Happy Chinese New Year to all.

I think a Red Pocket of HKD$20 dollars which seems to be the normal practice for the lower class people.

That is all it brings with the red pocket: a gesture of blessing, that is all it means.

What to give on Saint Valentine's day?

 

 

Some of us are already scratching our heads on what to give our beloved one(s) on Valentine’s Day. So, let’s see what we can do to surprise our loved one(s).

 

Basically, a Rolex never fails. Among all the Rolex models, the Rolex Daytona never fails to impress. I am talking about the 116520. Although I personally prefer the while dial 116520, the hit one is the black version.

 

If you do not wish to wear the same black 116520 as a lot of watch fans on the street, you may want to consider the white dial version as it will save you also a few thousand dollars. This watch best suits those who drive, or just want a both dressy and sporty chronograph that is widely recognizable.

 

Another option is the Rolex Deep Sea. It is an increasingly popular model. More people are seen wearing this. David Beckham did so, for instance, before he became an ambassador of Breitling.

 

The Deep Sea is best for your boyfriend or husband who hit the iron a few times a week. With a wrist of around 7 inches, you will be impressed by wearing the Deep Sea. While the Deep Sea D-blue is a preferred model these days, the black dial version is not bad at all and it is around 20k cheaper considering all the discounts given.

 

What if you think that Rolex is too common? 

OK. Audemars Piguet is considered to be a notch higher than Rolex. You can consider buying the most iconic Royal Oak, be it black, white or blue dial version. What you get is more taste and a well-decorated movement with a solid gold rotor. I would prefer the Royal Oak Chronograph to the time-only Royal Oak as it is even more versatile, for both dressy and sporty occasions.

 

The Royal Oak Offshore Diver will be your choice if you want to surprise your spouse with a bold and high-end sports watch. Either way, you are going to spend around 110k to 150k. 

What about suit wearer? 

Easy. Go for either a Patek Philippe or an A Lange dress watch. For around 200k, you can get a PP Nautilus. It is a bit similar to the Royal Oak in the sense that it is both sporty and dressy. If you can pay a bit more, go for the A Lange Lange 1. It will make your husband love you even more.

 

What more? Well, you can always pick the A Lange 1815 time-only models. You can the same fine movement finishing and a very classic look. A PP Calatrava is also hard to beat if your husband(s) is a suit wearer.

 

Other brands you can consider include Glashutte Original (Panomatic Lunar, Panoreserve), Jaeger Lecoultre (Reverso) and H Moser & Cie.

 

GO gives you exceptional quality for a bang for your buck. Hand-engraved double swan neck regulator and the off-center dial are something you will not find in any other brands for that price range.

 

JLC’s Reverso is another regular classic for suit wearer. It is elegant and classic. Your lover wearing the Reverso will definitely be more charming than ever.

 

H Moser & Cie offers you some exceptional pieces. The Funky Blue dials are great for extraordinary achievers while other fume dial options are also very eye-catching. At around 100k to 150k, you get something that means exceptional taste and class. The movements of any H Moser & Cie are decorated finely and they are manual movements.

 

For the exceptional, buy an refined piece for them. For the ordinary, buy a loudly piece for them. Happy Valentine’s Day to all.
