BaselWorld 2017 Rolex preview














We have guessed it right, there is Single Red Line for SeaDweller Rolex to be released this year.

43mm with Cyclops, What a nice watch after 50 years since the first launch of SeaDweller in 1967.

Definitely there will be little stock available for People like I. And We hope that supply should be larger than Submariner.

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak offshore Jarno Trulli on Sale







We are bringing you this Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Jarno Trulli Limited Edition Ref. 26202AU.OO.D002CA.01 launched in 2010 during the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix.

While Italian F1 driver Jarno Trulli only had a short stint in Formula One from 1997 to 2011, driving for Minardi, Renault and Lotus Racing amongst others, he was able to have Audemars Piguet immortalize him with his very own Royal Oak Offshore Limited Edition after becoming an AP ambassador in 2008.

While Jarno Trulli could never be compared to Michael Schumacher, at least their limited edition Offshores are somewhat up to par.

The Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Jarno Trulli Limited Edition is one of the most fascinating watches ever designed by AP with Formula One in mind.

Fitted with cermet bezel, sand-blasted titanium pushers and crown, a 42 mm forged carbon case and a black rubber strap, the Jarno Trulli is one of the most unique looking Offshores and one that is truly hard to find in the U.S.  or Asia, as only 500 pieces were ever made of this timepiece.


Case
Forged carbon case, cermet bezel, sand-blasted titanium crown and pushpieces, glareproofed sapphire crystal, sandblasted titanium sapphire caseback engraved with the legend “Royal Oak Offshore – Jarno Trulli” and with the “Jarno” signature appearing in red on the crystal

Model
Ref #26202AU.OO.D002CA.01


Dial
Anthracite dial with “Méga Tapisserie” pattern, silver-toned counters, white gold applied hour-markers and hands with luminescent coating, silver-toned inner bezel

Bracelet
Black rubber strap with sand-blasted titanium AP folding clasp


Price
List price was US$38,300 normally you get less 10% to less 15% Max.

Now I have one with 98% new full set, asking HK$180,000

Rolex : Stop Charging Premium for Daytona Ref 116500LN



Interesting Article about Rolex Singapore stops their main distributors to sell more than the list price.

But I don't think that Hour Glass, Sincere or whoever will be able to make a public open sales at MSRP SGD$18,000 (HK$98,640).


In HK, the current price of Daytona Ref 116500LN White is HK$131,000 lowest and Black is HK$124,800 (lowest) at gray dealer hands. Don't think you can get one at Rolex AD with List price HK$90,500.


I don't think Rolex Can call for a Fair price in sales in the open market where the demand and supply is still the  Golden Rule.

If Rolex wants to control the price of Daytona down to MSRP price , well make more production and ship more as they do for Date just...


If not, Price of Daytona is still as hard as Diamond!

Jaeger LeCoutlre SIHH 2017 HK preview on 3 March 2017










JLC Boutique is situated at Central Hong Kong Station IFC tower, with neighbor watches shops Elegant, IWC, Hublot, Rolex and Audemars Piguet.









One of the most complicated watches unveiled at the show was the Geophysic Tourbillon Universal Time (ref. 8126420). This has a domed-shaped dial in blue lacquer featuring a world map as well as a one-minute tourbillon on one edge, two complications that might be interesting separately but less so together.
This Platinum watch is selling with MSRP HK$1,090,000.




A Close up at the Tourbillon



The steel Master Ultra Thin Moon (ref. 1363540) is now available in white gold with a dark grey dial with the case being 39mm in diameter.

 

White Gold Perpetual Calendar auto estimated MSRP  HK$260,000
\



























The Reverso Tribute Moon in stainless steel (ref. 3958420) is similar, with two time zones and the addition of a date and moon phase display on the front dial.

 





Larger at 29.9mm wide and 49.4mm long, it’s hand-wound and powered by the calibre 853A. It costs HK$120,900 estimated.












I was wearing a Pink gold Reverso similar to the one I used to have in 1989.... Miss those beautiful days with beautiful Reverso.
As many watch collectors say, "Who does not have one or more than one Jaeger Le-Coultre watch?
