Vintage Jaeger LeCoultre

 

 

This is a small and classic JLC watch, probably made in the early 40s.
I love it because it is classic, a big piece of curve crystal on top of the body.
Roman III, XI and XII adds on some more classic art deco ingredient on the dial.
The Small Second hand on a Square at 6' o'clock is the best element I like.
Solid 14 KT gold with Watch case made in USA.
17 jewel Manual Wind Movement.
A 70 years classic. A watch that I cannot lose it because I gave this watch to my brother some twenty years ago.
I will send this watch to Classic Watch Repair to overhaul and I will use it.

Rolex Day-Date 40 VS Rolex Daytona – HK Snob weighs in

 

 

With the new Rolex 116500ln Daytona Ceramic out, the attention of us is back to the Daytona. However, let’s not forget the brand’s most iconic model, the Day-Date. A new olive dial version has been released with rose gold case and bracelet. It is also available in white gold.

 

 

 

 

Some of you may have the same struggle – to go for the Day-Date or the Daytona? While the prices of the two watches may differ a lot, the Snob would like to make clear his stance on whether you should go for the Daytona or the Day-Date.

 

 

 

 

 



1 Price

The Rolex Day-Date 40 is way more expensive than the Daytona as there is no stainless steel version for the DD40. With that said, you will have to pay around 190k -210k (gray dealer) for a DD40. With the Daytona, if you opt for the yellow gold, white gold or the rose gold version, you will have to pay around 180k-210k (gray deader). However, the Daytona can be had in stainless steel which is around 130k right now for the 116500ln. (HK AD official list price HK$95,000)

2. Practicality

The Rolex Day-Date is a way more practical watch than the Daytona. We bet you have to know which day and date it is more than to know the duration of your drive, given that most of us are not professional race car drivers? The Rolex DD40 has the date and day display which makes everyday life way more convenient than wearing the Daytona. Moreover, let’s not forget the DD40’s 72 hours of power reserve That means you do not have to wind your watch as much as the Daytona.

 

3. Rarity

How often do you see people wearing the Daytona on the street? Very, right? But you do not see a lot of DD40. So, why wear the same watch that others are wearing? Stand out by wearing the DD40 is a good choice to show your elegance and special taste.

 

4. The bracelet.

The Daytona has a Oyster bracelet which features the Easylink extension system. Most of Rolex’s sports watches have Oyster bracelet with them. Again, it might be too common. The DD40 has a President bracelet which reflects light way better than an Oyster band. The polished center links shine like nothing else. It is more comfortable as the links are smaller, they can adjust to the shape of your wrist better.

Vintage time – Rolex Submariner 1680

The Rolex Submariner 1680 is a good choice for you to enter the world of vintage Rolex. Produced from 1966 to 1981, the Rolex 1680 has a date display window as well as a Cyclops date magnifier. These are what the 5513 does not have. Also notable is that the 1680 has the chronometer status.

 

 

 

 

The Rolex 1680 Red Submariner is named because the letters Submariner are in red. These watches are around 80k to 100k in the market. A normal 1680 great white can be had at around 50k. The most special thing about this watch is that it has a acrylic crystal which sits quite high above the bezel. It has bezel edges but it is not domed like the 5513.

 

 

 



 

 

 

Also notable is the font used on the date wheel. These old-style fonts give the watch a rather retro feeling as modern fonts are very different. The crown of the 1680 is a triplock crown which ensures 200m water resistence. Most 1680 watches have Maxi dials. The dials of the 1680 differ according to the year the watch is produced. The fonts and the spacing can be different and please beware of that. The dial of the right period has to be paired with the case of that period accordingly.

 

The Rolex 1680 is a very good entry level vintage Rolex. It looks different from those massively worn 16610 and 116610. If you want to add some chic to your style, it is your best choice.

God, Please give me one more minute...

God, Please give me one more minute to say again “I love you!” to my brother.

 

"I don't wish you all sort of gifts.

I just wish you what most people don't have:

I wish you the time to be happy and to laugh

and if you use it, you can make something out of it.

I wish you the time for your doings and thinking,

not only for yourself, but also to give away to others.

I wish you the time - not to hustle and run

but the time to be contented.

I wish you the time, not to pass just like that

I wish that some of it may be left for you

as a time to marvel and trust

instead of just looking at the time on your watch.

I wish you the time to reach for the stars

and the time to grow, to mature

I wish you the time to hope and to love

There is no sense in putting this time off.

I wish you the time to find yourself to see happiness in each day and each hour.

I wish you the time also to forgive. I wish you the time to live.                     Elli Michler
 

I wish you had time even one more minute such that I can say one more time “Peter, I love you forever!”

 

Remembrance to my beloved younger brother Peter who passed away last night.

1835 27 Jul 2016.
