A fine timepiece is part of dressing like a gentleman. When I first made a little money, I bought my first watch, which was a Rolex Daytona. It was just one of those things that said I was successful.

You need a Quality Strap for a Quality Watch

You may need a better presentation of your watch by the proper use of size of the strap.

Usually you cannot find 20/ 20mm width of both end of the s strap.

This is 20mm/20mm croco strap and Rolex Buckle.

How does it look like!?

PM me if you want to know price f the 20mm buckle.

Different combination of dial and bezel are not hard to be found.

R-series with "bezel 200" and "4 lines" does exist.

The "L-series" is fund to have "floating Cosmograph" and "

bezel 225"

Even a combination of Bezel 240 and floating Cosmograph exists officially from Rolex.

the Early version of R-series were made with white porcelain dial, super rare and only in white version. Estimated price is USD$75,000. Estimated only 50 pieces made!

So called "Patrizzi" version with sub-dial colour turned brown... especially happened on S-series and W-series. Price is about USD$21,000.

During the 12 years production time for Daytona using Zenith El Primero Movements,

I have had a new Daytona Zenith recently, however when I worn it with me meeting friends in the Philippines... It was taken away for saying " let me see"  after that it become "Let me own it!"

And I am trying to look for all dealer and collector to buy this Daytona Zenith when my pocket is not yet empty. as I know

Comment

This is a fun watch to wear, comfortable, it weighs about 120 gram with 10 links, not as heavy as a solid gold Submariner 16618 (172 gram) not too shinny as it is still a tool watch, it is super accurate as all Daytona Zenith I have it keeps perfect timing less than 2 seconds daily variance.

Moreover ... It has no date so you have a excuse to wear another Rolex with date on your right wrist!

Since it is made with such a small number for supplying the large number of Rolex Fans in the world, price will be only be

"UP" year after year!

It is time to keep yours!

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!
