The Most Beautiful Cartier Watch for Women

This is the watch for woman....though this grey colour strap was the best colour to match with the dial. But I think a black satin strap would be the best to promote the gluster for the diamonds.

The Most Expensive Diver's Watch from Seiko

A selling price of HKD$50,000.00 for a Divers' watch from Seiko is classified expensive for me.
As this is the price for a Rolex DeepSea, or an IWC's Deep One.
But this is a Seiko; a very special watch called Spring Driving Watch was made with a mechanical auto winding mechanism to reserve the power. As the main spring unwinds, it provides power for driving the hands controlled through the Regulator called Try-synchro regulator. A small fraction of the mainspring power is to generate satiny current to drive an Oscillator and an IC. The precise reference signal of the IC will coordinate with the speed as the mainspring unwinds. A delicately controlled electromagnetic brake is applied to ensure the mainspring unwinds is exactly the right rate to match the watch oscillators for accurate timekeeping. The Electro magnetic brake will keeps hands for an accurate time.
Since there is no conventional escapement, the movement is smooth, the hands is swing smoothly and continuously as naturally flowing movement. The power reserve maintains 72 hours operation, the accuracy can be +/-1 second a day. A glide motion hand.
This is a Diver's watch, very heavy and sturdy built, I can say heavier than a DeepSea. Very Strong Steel to make the case, beautiful, it is selling at Yen 598,500!

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

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.

World First Single Control Buttton Perpetual Calendar Watch

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!

World largest Watch and Clock Fair

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!

My Hiking Watches

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!

Grand Seiko 2008

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!
