Interview for a new Job



Above is young engineer's Sea-Dweller Ref 16600 (Year 2000)
Below is my Submariner Ref 16800 (Year 1982)


A Young engineer was asking me buying a Rolex since May last year and he had limited budget like HK$30K

And a while I sold him a full set Explorer II 16570 white dial, and he was jumping away with gratitude after wearing that watch.

Once in a while I met him in and he said the watch is running perfect and he loves it…

Two day ago he came to me saying that  ”Paul, I have to leave, because your Rolex had helped me working in another new company… I said WHY as we are in a World No. greatest Company!

 

He said he had been thinking of changing new job, new opportunity he is not quite a style of a R&D engineer and would like to change to be a sales person. So he went for an interview... in a Public Listed Technology company….
While he said down and not too long later, the interviewing manager spotted his Rolex and asked ” Wow, you are wearing a Rolex? “


He said yes, this is a simple Explorer II… The guy said, “No, it is not simple. Every Rolex carries a Story… and He was wearing a Yacht master II…. And they kept talking about his experience and the interviewer about the job offer, FINALLY… He got a new job in this Company, as a sales Manager station in China.

 

The Manager then invited the Rolex Gang to see him… The CEO wears a Day-Date in white Gold, The Chairman wears a DeepSea D blue….

 

My Colleagues talked to me, that was a wonderful experience to have such an interview and he said these few people is Rolex Lovers… and now he is…

 

Well, He asked for an upgraded and I got back his Explorer II and I passed him this Sea-Dweller 16600..

He runs away and I believe this new young man one day will come to be as an Important Asian Collector of Rolex!
