ROLEX DAY-DATE Ref.18038 18K Yellow Solid-Gold Case.
An Rare Brownish Yellow Gem stone Dial, the best after Onyx probably!!?
Brown colour Croco. Leather strap 1990's
This is another one after I bought the similar dial OysterQuartz, This is an Auto Version.
Well, as for the overall appearance consideration, the OysterQuartz is more beautiful, this will be the 2nd choice as for causal Wearing. As if for Collection purpose, this is better than the OysterQuartz for sure.

This is a Limited Edition for from the world renowned clock manufacturing for the merchant vessel. This is the World No. 1 to have just one single control to set up all the calendar date, year, day and Month. This is a special serial number of “000” amongst the 150 pieces Nardin Made for us. The Dial date display arrangement is a bit confusing and not set in harmony. A bit uncomfortable to see that the F/S adjustment gear is not goose neck type for such a watch of USD$30,000.00!

This is the World largest Watch and Clock fair heldin Hong Kong Converntion Centre 6-10 September.
Well,, There are numerous exhibitors from overseas to participate this watch fair. And I expected to buy some of the exotic watch for me... But A bit disappointmed to see that a lot of the World Famous Watch designs were being C & D* to form a new watch makred with some other Brand Band name....
Like AP, Hubort, Piaget, Roger Dubuis...etc...
On the other hand, we could see a lot of new innovative design from some of the young watch designers from Korea, China and India...
PS... C & D means copy and development...
The big hand's Rolex was Paul... he is a famous HK watch trader and collectors!

I used to have a Sunnto Hiking watch, then switched to a Tissot Touch Plus Titanium watch,
The Sunnto was gone due to my mistake in damaging the battery cover latch. Tissot was dead after using for three years and I sent to repair, Now is OK.. My next consideration is this Casio as I have seen a lot of Hikers are using this watch. Besides, I have a LL Bean which I recently used a lot for Hiking! LL bean is in fact Hamilton watch, built with simple solid piece of Steel plated with Chrome, hand wind, sturdy design. It can keep time well under extreme temperature conditions But it is a bit small in size.
The Casio Pro Trek. Triple Sensor, Tough Solar with Titanium strip.
There a few verison of diffferent prie tags, Made in Japan and Thailand have 2X price difference.
Friend of mine told me that there is another version that can have Radar-Satellite detection signal code included. Which mean, if some with loss in the jungle, signal transmission to tell helicopter the position!
Beitling used to have a special for Pilot that has a function of sending RF signal to nearby rescue station for alert. I have seen that, quite expensive!

This is a purely item for those who are collector, as it is hard to build a Grand Seiko and harder to find one outside Japan.
As This is a very special watch from Seiko which is running at 38,000 Cycle per hours. It is a challenge to the watch design in reliability particularly the escapement design, lubrication and friction control.
It was sold in HK for HKD$36,000.00. Who Could Afford to buy a Seiko with this price!? As I said, only watch collector watch appreciator.
This is almost new, unused, with all boxes, certificates and booklets!

This is two lady wathes of the Polo Series, Quartz, of course who cares it is mechanical or not!?
More important is convenience and Beautiful oranment for those who can afford for putitng this on her wrist!
Polo was one of the most sucessful series by Piaget started in 1979. The unique design of the dial come with with the bracelet in harmony! After 30 years, we still find this is not out of the trend! As it is a piece of Classic from Piaget.

I have seen this watch was in Some of the most decent watch shop in Tsim Sha Tsui 1990.
I had been watching in the window for hours and I could imagine that it was some of thes best Swiss Craftmanship that money can buy!.
Well, It is a Gold watch with likely the same movement of the Royal Oak 2130 movement, may be some modification. Full decor with carvings on the rotor, solid, heavy with the size of it, shinning, beautiful and most of all, Slim...Note that there is double shock absorber built for best reliability.
For hose who like to have a piece of dress watch for your ball. Of course, he must be at least 45 or more...who could admire the glorious days of HK in the 80's.

This is a new watch I bought yesterday, a Seiko, Traditional Automatic watch.
Automatic is alway preferred than Kinetic Power as the storage battery iniside the Seiko Kinetic Power watch will fail in 5-8 years. Then you have to send the watch for replcament, it is about HKD$150.00. So Kinetic is not too popular as it was launched some 10 years ago!
This Sieko is big at 42mm diameter, the dial has been sputerred with Luminous material with Big indictaing hands. I like the orange dial. That was the reason I bought it.
