真真假假，假假真真

偉大的發明不只限於飛機大炮。

錢無人嫌少，隨之而產生假貨，冒牌貨，次貨，舊貨翻新作新貨賣，一本萬利，中國留學生回國後發明多了吾少“勁賺"之產品…

用頭髮做豉油，化學假雞蛋，假奶粉，假鬉菜，假鮑魚，假燕窩，麵粉倒模做蟲草，地溝油。

假人?

八萬八千元買了一男嬰，四天後洗澡時那假小陽具掉下來!欲哭無淚!

八十年代勞力士假貨都是香港台灣做，九十年代基本上九成半以上亦係中國做。

像真度高，款式之多，嚇你一驚!

價錢只不過原價的二百份之一。

試想一下，你手上戴著的勞力士亦有可能是假的!吾會嗎，有証書都會架喎!

又係的，錶都可以假為什麽証書假不了!

有一些人，戴了四年再發現隻勞力士是非原裝的。

那，怎樣才買到正貨呢?

都係回歸基本法，光棍佬教仔，便宜莫貪!

到有信譽和相熟的店铺買囉!

主觀主義

Subjectivism 

主觀不一定對的，有一位都是坐擁很多名錶的人，

有一天，我帶著一位半百萬的萬年曆手錶*給他看…

嘩! 他一手拿住反轉不用看一秒透明錶底, 便說 "這塊錶的打礳跟PP差很遠"，我並沒有吾開心，相反，一隻錶己看透人奉名牌人的心理!

*註，那手錶是PP高師製錶師做的。

我當時心想，嘻!你都超過半百歲喇，眼力重好好喎? 差不多不用睇就知道那錶肉打礳比PP差! 我好配服你的主觀主義!

小模見大模，一山還有一山高

有人有一百隻勞力士，自覺感覺良好，漂漂然，網上認悉有些“多勞忍仕” 有五百多隻勞力士，再甚者有一“怕德犀利"收藏家手上有二三隻每隻三千多萬的名錶。除一除，可以買到三百隻每隻十萬元的勞力士了。玩錶之樂趣是用我有限的錢去盡買心頭好。下去同一些國際級的收藏家比較，意義不大喎!

"Pretty Woman" , The most frequently played Movie in this day: 14th Feb.

Edward Louis looks at his watch, a Rolex.

Edwards Lewis (Richard Gere) wears a Rolex Two Tone Date Just In "Pretty Woman"

For most of the time in this day, Saint Valentine's Day;  the movie in TV shown is “Pretty Woman” on the Day shown on my watch, I watch this on HBO in Manila.  I have been at least watching 7 times in the past 12 years in HK.

Pretty Woman is a 1990 American romantic comedy film set in Los Angeles. The film stars Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, and features Hector Elizondo, Ralph Bellamy (in his final performance), and Jason Alexander in supporting roles.

The story of Pretty Woman centers on the down-on-her-luck Hollywood prostitute Vivian Ward who is hired by a wealthy businessman, Edward Lewis, to be his escort for several business and social functions, and developed an intimate relationship over one week of Vivian's stay with him.

This is the fairy tale for most of the woman, especially those educated, pretty but no boy friend in the weird society of HK, where man has the right dominate power to initiate dating woman rather than the way reversed for woman to date man.

In the movie, I am well enchanted to the Hotel manager starred by Hector Elizondo who is really a nice kind man to help Vivian.

Edward Lewis only wears a Watch in the entire movie, that is a Rolex two tone yellow gold Date Just.

New Watch Colour Trend

New Rolex Day Date Colour 2013

Why my Gold Watch cannot be Red, Green or Yellow in Colour?

In the 80’s most of the Rolex is god champagne Colour dial, Gold was almost a symbolic colour for

Gold Rolex! We did have Blue colour as It could be used matching men’s clothes easily… You can see Submariner Two Tone had blue, GMT Master Had blue, but not green , Red or yellow…

That was why their “Red”, “green” was not the people’s choice at all… that is another reason these are already turnout to be gems nowadays, as scarcity is the reason for high price…

Well, at Beselworld 2013, Rolex has introduced a new set of colour for the Flag ship Day Date Series.  As this is a world of colour, whilst other watch maker are working on using different colour, material to make watch, Rolex is still using the traditional steel or gold and those bore colour dial… hardly can see a new Day Date using Lapis Azuli, or venturine to make dial….yes, there are but in a very small quantity.

Other players are not stop doing nothing as this is seems to be the trend of WATCHES… I saw a Piaget ultra thin manual winding  at HKIA with Lapis Blue dial, so beautiful with only HKD$175,000.00!

Chopard Micro Rotor Auto movement with Champagne, Orange Crush Cognac and Bordeaux and matching colour alligator leather strap

Chopard introduced the energetic Orange, and burgundy dial, and Jaeger also made the purple red on his legendary Reverso!

Enchanted Jaeger Reverso with Burgundy Red Dial

So today, your old Day Date with these colour will not be lonely anymore!

Remember colur is a reflection of your mood and colour changes men’s behaviour

PS

Most of the Love hotel is using Pink colour as the colour of the wall, as this colour can make human FASTER to go orgasm, in the opposite, Green will slow it down, love hotel manager does not like you staying in room too long whilst people are queuing at the corridor waiting for room… 

Ha, that is another reason I want to buy a Green Dial Rolex Day Date for prolonged Sex reason!!

How Rolex Fixation was started?

Many people was affected by parents, relatives, teachers' wearing when they were young. I was fascinated by my father as he used mentioning German engineering, Swiss watches to me when I was 12.

He told me story US president used to wear Rolex, Since then that name of model "Day Date" has been imprinted on my mind. So it was my story of Rolex fixation! My father used to wear a Seiko Day Date gold Plated one 25 jewel as I still remember.

The young people Follows local and foreign pop culture where they copy the idols!

木村拓哉Takuya Kimura was the one who brought up the heat for Explorer I in HK, he is a Rolex Lovers too. From What I could see K-pop start does not go so much for Rolex as the J-pop… am I right!?

Well, most of the HK singers and movie star like Rolex as may be shopping is best in HK for Rolex, and Rolex has spent huge money in Advertisement in HK. Don't forget there are 60 of Rolex Shipped to HK and China.

Many local Movies has shown Rolex, that is why Rolex is being known to you and me when we are in Cinema, we are being educated that this is the Watch for rich people, successful business men, tycoons, gangsters, Gamblers, office executives, sales ….

Look at the recent “GOLDEN CHICKEN” movie… what is that watch!?

Hmm….

平霸, 波霸, 旅霸, 惡霸, 槍霸, 錶霸

平霸

如果你是四十過来，相信你聪聽過電視廣告"買電視機，平霸喇，買雪櫃，平霸喇…"

平覇是七十年代在新蒲崗一家器舖。我都幫襯過一台二十一吋的西門子電視機呵!

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvdPc_WLzZQ

波霸

港產的有葉子媚，她可以算係勁…"從背面見到前面"，相信後無來者。

旅霸

近年來太多國內旅霸在香港發難，我香港人重以為香港無旅霸，香港亦好氣爭吾執書，你攻車，我攻郵艇。等了好機會，终於占領一首郵輪。這是香港旅霸成績。

 

惡霸

1. 頭等旅客，尾等品格，

吾聽國航空中服務員勸諫，雙脚撑X住前面樟板，悠閒自得打機。

惡霸

2.國泰頭等艙印度籍有米之人發現香檳杯上有手指模，要服務員為其更换，她已為了事，除不知他要投訴經理，更甚要把服務員開除!

槍霸

玩真槍玩不了，唯有氣槍，都幾係架，好重呀，算囉，改行玩"水槍"算了!

錶霸

吾洗多講，錶中之霸:勞力士!

年產八十萬隻，九成是天文台錶，夠霸氣未?

老錶你好嘢!

Ventage Rolex, the one in Centre is A Platinum DD!

老錶你好嘢!

勞力士的確做到深入民心。招牌己經街知巷聞了。

在香港年青一輩九成九選擇運動款式。

二十二到三十八歲:潛航者日曆和格林威治型日曆型ll。尤以谮航者為多，大約三隻潛航考對一隻格林威治日曆型。

三十九歲到五十二歲是金鋼錶的支持者，原因大概他們是較高收入的一群，再者他們對金"撑撑"的黄金無抗距甚至無愛上它。

近十年，越來越多年青女仕愛上了勞力士的運動表，吾多吾少都是受外國文化和本地主流派歌影星下影嚮。

七八十年定代，她們都會歸類"男人婆"一類無疑。今日嚟睇，確實幾有活力，多一份剛陽感!

中環潮人

有錢無錢大概都擁有這些牌子，大概都走吾甩勞力士，FM, Cartier, CHANEL, PAN 仔，PP, AP, VC, 伯爵…

為免跑入主流而流失品味，勞力士林林種種的型號中，他們會揀選一些不容易找到的，非大路的貨品;，如前一陣子綠圈綠面潛航者，紅金黑面Daytona，最近追紅金朱古力啡面Daytona, 黑藍格林威治ll，富貴一族就會求於鉑金Daytona.

而值得一提是多了很人追中古的Day Date, 如1803,1805, 18038, 18049之類，而大多都不是新入行的新發彩扮嘢一族。這是可喜現象。

因為玩勞力士玩到這些種類型號，他們大多玩過其他牌子錶型。他們大都覺得勞力士錶價尚算合理。甚至無有人覺得平得太吾合理!

原因是大部分三四十年前的勞力士即使己是風燭殘年的老人家，而事實上打開就發現錶肉美不可當!閃閃"零"!

但這些好品相的老錶不容易找，而戴出來的確不會流於俗套。如配帶得體，不失為為一種心靈止痛劑！

有一天下午，搭巴士下車跳入尖沙咀一家豪裝錶店代理, 想看看名錶。我自覺好鬼自卑，門口印巴人士想問我老幾。是否翠華送下午茶伙記?

我用普通話話想買隻五支火柴紅金啡面地通娜!

印巴伙記擰擰頭放我入嚟，重以為可人得到一些專重，可以暫時忘記水洗吾清的自卑。

西裝光頭經理叫我自己坐定定，因佢正在數緊錢，強國平頭山東響馬剛買了三隻日誌石面話買尼送比朋友人。

身傍姐姐三十有幾，成身珠光寶氣，"鞏俐"面型，"娜姐"身型，上身帶H字頭鰐魚皮手袋，手帶 " 變型”卡地喇紅金沙石手錶。破有女人味!

平頭響馬問MM中意什麽手錶好, 她二話不說，用修長的手指指住櫃檯中間....

一隻:  青綠珍珠貝面29mm 滿是石的Ref 80308, BRIL.

山東响馬看，心有不快，但不到二秒，老子山東土豪，怎能失禮於一港燦前面!

要硬上喇，從那德國飛機鋁拖喼內抽出差不多五时厚的港元一叠……全部一千元……光頭經理拿去數了差不十分鐘……九七折折實八十七萬七千元……

叫經理幫忙調較把錶錶戴上……MM問平頭可以嗎？

平頭連隨說: 好! 好!……

經理說……一流……名錶配美人…………

美人笑著的用秋波示意坐冷板的港燦比意見……

我說: “你接近完美，我接近麻痹!”

……我心想:

平頭喪盡理智討好你，佢可能只得個跟尾!

五支火柴你卻最具人氣, 那九七折價錢實在無理!
