Rolex Submariner White Gold Ref 116619LB...One of my two Rolex Dream Watches.
This is a Big poster on the same Watch taken by my Note II LTE in 2012
in one of the Rolex AD in Ocean Termnal Tsim Sha Tsui
This is the Submariner Ref 116619LB 18KT white gold with Blue Ceramic Bezel and Dial. The colour makes this watch looks like a “Toy” on top of the WHITE gold…But the price isn’t Toy Price. As it is priced at HKD$263,600.
The polishing of the cases and strap are one of the best man could make… with finest final touch up of the Oyster Case after Robot does the Automatic case prime polishing for the exact Oyster Profile.
I had tried to wear on my wrist once in Rolex AD, and I almost unwilling to return… it is so comfortable and has the “MASS” on my hand… I am sure I do not like too much Watch made by Titanium… it lacks of the “STUFF” inside… White Gold and Platinum is my preferred Precious metals for watch. Titanium is best for make passenger aircraft and the stealth bomber jets! not so much for Watch cases.
I believe this watch was polished by the most experienced technician…and was well taken care by Rolex watch smith for the final inspection. With the AR coating on the sapphire, I am sure the Shark in the Pacific Ocean will salute to you… when it sees the dial!
The Owner of this watch is a Celebrity of course, a Super car lover, a Hollywood Movie Star… and an Idol of many sexy Women… I am one of his FANS now!! Because he gets my dream Submariner…
Well, he has the same charisma as Leon Lai Ming of HK who has the same watch…
Next buyer may be HK Snob, but I do not know when I can get this watch into my Collections…
Well, as the Watch Collector Adrian Said, The fun of WAITING is more than the fun of
OWNING it… hmm!

Who are the major Customers who buy Rolex in Hong Kong and Macao?
Who People buying Rolex in HK and Macao!?
Talking about brand name in vast scale publicity, I believe no one does not know about Rolex! And Rolex seems the most common name for Swiss luxury watch.
So what do you think WHO buy Rolex in HK!?
1. Rolex is mostly welcome by pawn shop of HK.
You can see how many watch is Rolex in those 100 pawn shops near Lisboa Hotel Macao? That is Rolex. So when people win a fortune in The Casino, the first thing is to buy a Rolex for himself and a DateJust Lady for his one-night Girl friend there.
2. People buy Rolex as testament for marriage. Many couple bought Rolex man for
he and one for her in 80s and 90s before the marriage. Every anniversary, they wear it and take the dinner under the candles.
3. People buys Rolex because that is a “Me too” watch!
4. Rolex Collectors buy Rolex.
5. Speculators buy Rolex, at least I was the one who bought 4 Rolex Explorer I with HKD$14,000 in Singapore in 1995. They sold it next day when I retuned HK.
6. People buys Rolex as a standard tool for work, salesman, tour guide, banker, pilot, carpenter, Pilots, flight attendants, construction worker that used Daytona SS Black Dial…etc
Salesman like I used to wear A Day Date White Gold for work.
7. Professionals that wear Rolex for diving, hiking, working in Lab, hospital, clinic…etc
8. Business lady that wear Rolex Explorer II black for work as they do not have to leave I on the table when she goes to take a bath.
9. Movie Star, Celebrity and their Fans, Leon Lai Ming wears Submariner White Gold Ref 116619LB, and fans have to catch up with him wearing the same or similar model.
10. Lucky Girl that buys a Rolex on Saint Valentine’s Day using her boy Friend Credit card.
11. Chinese Tycoon buys 10 Rolex each time coming to HK as give-away item to their clients in China.
12. Since Rolex is so boring as it never fail or stop after using for 20 , 30 years, only post 90’s people would be the new potential customer in HK, so the market for HK people is diminishing everyday, the major buyer is from Mainland China, Indonesian, Thai and Australian. I think 70% of the watches were going to the mainland China Visitors nowadays, 20 percents to the other foreign visitor and 10% to people of HK.
13 Someone had an affair with the one (2nd Wife) he loves in China, they used to buy a 26mm Lady Date Just Stainless or two tone for her…
14. Who else?

Likely this is the best value purchase for a NOS discontinued Rolex Date in Hong Kong.
Ref 16223 Discontinued Date Just Lapis Blue Dial
Note that the dials are all different in Colour
Ref 116233 Current Production Date Just Onyx Dial
Rumour was to increase before the Chinese New Year but it wasn't... and now it seems that it will happen after the Chinese New year? Who know?
What if there is a watch which is still selling the price of 2006 in Shop of Rolex Authorized Dealer, and that is a brand new Rolex of very special dial?
Is that possible? Yes, there are, and these are good stuff if you are not those few people who are so sensitive to Chinese superstitions on colour "Blue"! “難撈”
I find out there are three rare gems in one of the Rolex AD shop in Hong Kong today...
They discontinued since 2006 and has been lying in the shops are years, just because it was blue dial?
But do you know the materials for the dial is Lapis Blue, a kind of beautiful stone, the process of making such kind of dial is tedious and I believe Rolex does not produce many of this kind.... At least I can not see it on many models of Rolex.
The process of turning a piece of raw stone into a piece of Rolex gem dial including inspection of the stone for the best part with even colour and pattern of uniqueness.
Then cut it to the thickness of not more than 0.5 mm and lap to the right precise thickness under a lapping machine. And drill then hole for mounting the diamond at 6, and 9 hour index. Make another square hole for the date at 3 position and at last drill a hole for the Rolex crown.
The yield of making this beautiful dial is very low as 30% and I think it takes a least 10 man hour to produce one of this dial.
Now what if you can buy this great beauty Ref 16233 at 2006 price of HKD$72,950.
This new price of 116233 standard without and. Diamond and Lapis Blue dial has been in the range of HKD$72,500.
And this is a two tone watch with 18KT solid jubilee strap and bezel.
I can say this is the best deal in town for a new Rolex, is you do not mind " blue" colour. After standard 5% discount will be HKD$69,302. If you are lucky enough to get a VIP discount with additional discount? Of course, so long when the stock lasts... Do not miss this chance after these treasure was uncovered.
If you want a newer model of current production on Onyx dial, the price is HKD$94,700 of course the difference is a current production model has a new design strap with hidden clasp deployment. And a Better Feeling of New Production Watch that is it... But I am sure that the Lapis blue is a kind of specialty.
Remember a solid yellow gold Lapis Blue submariner Ref 116110LN had reached a hammer price of HKD$730,000 in 2012 auction. And the dream fountain pen so produced between 1929 to 1939 is Waterman Patrician in "Turquoise". "Lapis Blue" and "Turquoise"; the kind of magic charms of a fascinating colour!

Trade in his Explorer II Ref 16570 to Ref 216570
2000 Rolex Ref 16570 Explorer II 40mm
Ref 16570 Explorer II
Rolex Ref 216570 Explorer II 42mm
It has a drive for someone who has been used the Explorer II for 12 years, sold it in some shops and add up So if his wrist is large enough to handle the 42mm. The drive is the greater legibility, the improved 3187 movement, the AR coating (Anti-Reflection Coating) for the Cyclops, the new blue lume, and the upgraded bracelet/Easylink clasp are all pluses for me. Being into "retro", I also like the orange hand and "EXPLORER". And I like his "little brother". it will dress up or down.
Caliber 3187 is super accurate! Another friend of mine nought it three weeks ago, he has been wearing it in Australia and find the Rfe 216570 gains 4 seconds so far!! that is an record for automatic watch to have this kind of accuracy!
He bought this Brand new Ref 216570 List price at HKD$60,500. with some Discount!

How to get more discount buying Rolex in Hong Kong?
There is a Policy Rolex AD is strictly not allowing more than standard 5% discount to every buyer In Hong Kong.
And being a High profile Blogger, I have been referring some of my known friends to get extra discount… and many insiders told me Rolex is keeping an eye on me.
Well, to Rolex, I think I am being treated both Hate and Love… as you can see I am Rolex Collector, and Every article I am telling my true Passion on Rolex…
But on the other hand… I am considered doing something jeopardizing their selling policy.
I am doing my best to help many of the Rolex lovers to get some extra discount buying Watches Rolex, Omega, IWC, Cartier. and many others only. And Worst thing is , I earn nothing… I am working in another industry to earn my rice and congees.
As far as Rolex internal Price strategy, there will ne a very harsh punishment to the Watch Shop Roles Authorized dealer to sell watch more 5% to buyers..
So in order not to hurt anyone I know in the Rolex AD chain…
I have better keep away from this…
However, friend, visitor of my blogs advised me to give an advice to you on how to get extra discount yourself… this is some of the Advice,.,. And I can not say this is my Advice!
Try to ask as many discounts as possible as if they know you are not the undercover of Rolex and they will grant you more discount like less 8% to less 14%!
I have seen some walk-in can get a Milgauss green Glass with less 13% may be he is a smart negotiation,,, well worth a trial…
Buy Rolex at a low season, that is they need more revenue to pay the rent…
Xmas, CNY, New year, Feb 5-13 Oct 1-10, May 1-10 is peak shopping season, buying other than this period may have Higher chance to get more discount…
Show you are the Foreigner with passport, Driving license, and name card… that tell the Shop manager you are not really the undercover.
That is it… try your luck and tell me if that works…

Watch Slogan
There are so many taglines, advertisement and Slogan for watch.
A successful Watch Slogan will help in promotion of the brand.
Which one is that you had familiarized!? Which one is that you like most!?
Which one is a successful slogan that keeps you memorized!?
I think Patek Philippe successfully has been selling its image of Classic and Traditional by using Slogan “Begins your own traditions”
How about Rolex, It seems there is no such standard Slogan as Rolex is still searching way to fix a standard. In the 70s they have a Slogan, “You’re not ready”, that is an ironical way to tell people the Day Date of Rolex is not for you.
And this helped to tell everyone that is the Flag ship the next watch you should go for….
But I would like to ask Rolex, After Day Date, what else is not yet ready for me?

When Where you can see a lot of Rolex in HK?
This is the Chinese New year day whereby most of the people are on vacation except poor HK Snob had to work as to help the family.
In these few days started on Sunday 10 Feb as the first day to the New year, and Monday (2nd) and Wednesday (4th) that is the three days you can see many Rolex in the street? Why?
As a traditions, 3rd day is not good to meet friends.
As many Chinese buys Rolex for investment and they might just keep it in the cold dark Safe Deposit box in the bank of the Safe box at home, except these three days, they will take it out and Polished it with a puff of air from his mouth using a piece of cloth to polish away the passivation layer after sleeping in the safe for 300 days. And in the 80s 90s many new married couples used to buy a Pair of Rolex one for he and one for She…. Now they can take it out to show off a bit…
You can count in just one carriage of MTR, you can easily find 12 Rolex Watches in these days!!
Well, Enjoy your Rolex! And you might feel better as it has gain 70% in dollar value over the past ten years! At least it appears a piece of investment and luxury items for many people. Afterward, don't put it back in the safe for another year to come.

An Australian Friend bought a Rolex Ref. 116619LB yesterday
Only limited Rich people or Watch Lovers would like to consider.
This is not a common article you can find in the pre-owned Watch Market in HK. So far I have not seen one and my friend Andy saw once only.
Peter, friend of mine came to HK to buy this beautiful Rolex Dream Watch.... He paid in Cash, I belived the sales man had to count 15 minutes for that huge amount, it is about 4 times the price of Ref 116610LN!
and I hope Peter could find this watch a piece of gem and I believe the sharks underseas will salute to you and dare not bite you, because they dare not under-estimate you! The Rich Power!

A Snobblish Rolex Man
This is a snobbish RolexMan who wears a Rolex Day Date II, that is a big watch of 42mm carrying a price tag of HKD$260,000 and the cash on the desk is estimated to be enough to buy another watch he is wearing.
The Rolex is really looking a bit big on his wrist.
I think it will be more suitable to adjust the watch strap tighter little bit and I know that it is not comfortable if the strap is too short. I think a proper adjusted length of the strap should be having room to insert the index finger into the strap.
He is definite a Snobblish Snob! I admire the stack of Cash on top of the table in a Cha Chann Tang! What a powerful man!!
Sometimes, it might be wise to spend for the things you like and dream to own!. No matter why people would like to spend USD$2,000 to USD$420,000 for a Super Bowl ticket on Last Sunday!

Rolex OysterQuartz Ref 19019 White Gold with OysterQuartz Computer Dial
This is my dream Rolex OysterQuartz White Gold With Dark grey Computer Dial, it is so rare and prone to super collectible item for Rolex Collectors.
The total Production of OysterQuartz is 25,000 in the entire OysterQuartz production period between 1977 to 2003, amongst those 25,000 units, 80% is DateJust series, and 15% is Day Date (3,750 pieces) , and There is less then 15% of the Day Date is White Gold (563 pieces)... As in the 80’s White gold is not the preferred material for a GOLD Rolex.
This is of course my estimation, no one knows about the exact data except some of the senior executives of Rolex Headquarters in Switzerland.
This is one of them, and more important is that we have identified the Grey Black Dial with Chinese Date Day display.
This is not my watch of course, and this belongs Rolex Collector Paul who has been waiting 8 months for Rolex HK to change the Chinese Dial!
I believe this is the most Accurate Rolex Watch with the best feature and ingredients for a HK or Chinese Rolex Collectors… and this watch is likely the 2nd Rare item for Day Date except the stainless steel Rolex Day Date. There has been saying that there are not more than known 7 pieces of Stainless steel Day Date in the world!
Do you want to get this Beautiful Sample of Rolex OysterQuartz!?

Chinese's Superstition on Rolex Colour
My Work Horse Rolex Day Date White gold
Greg's new Purchased Explorer II in HK on 25 Jan 2013
This Chinese tradition keeps unchanged till now.
The most unpopular model is likely White Gold with Blue dial, as that means “難撈", in Chinese, it means "Very difficult to make a living!"
Rolex with White Dial isn’t so good too as it means “白撈”!, That is “Nothing” in Chinese.
Rolex with Black dial isn’t good too, that is “黑撈”, "Black dirt?"
So in short, these are not the preferred colour dials:
1. Blue
2. Black
3. White
The Preferred colour on dial is:
1. Gold
2. Red
3. Purple
4. Brownish Red (It was very popular in 80s)
So what is the best Colour dial of Rolex for Chinese?
1. Yellow Gold case and strap
2. Yellow Gold Champagne Dial
3. Diamond Dial
4. Diamond Bezel
Recently, we see that HK and Chinese people seem started to accept Black dial.
As For myself I still like most the White Gold Submariner in Blue Dial and I used to wear a Rolex Day Date in white gold with Diamond dial and Diamond bezel. I find that it makes me happy and work along with people smoothly. I like what I like and superstition is not my concern for Rolex.
Ps The Rolex Day Date as my daily working Watch
The Explorer II White dial Ref 216570 Greg purchased yesterday in HK in one of the HK major Rolex AD.
Hi Greg,
I went to meet the manager who sold you the Explorer II, he told me that you speak fluent Mandarin!! Where did you learn?
I hope the Rolex will be your long trusting working partner!
