What Rolex will show off at BaselWorld 2014?

What will be the next eye-catching Rolex new Model at BaselWorld 2014?

Many gurus are forecasting the GMT Master II Blue Red Pepsi will be out this year.

This would be exciting news of those people looking for both the older generation people like I and the new players. It would be a good news for those who had an older GMT master II Ref 16170 with Pepsi Colour.  I don’t think so as this is not a usual practice to use exactly the same watch shape colour from Rolex as a retro watch launch. Well, if so, the price will be unchanged HKD$56,300 I think and I see no reason why they will further increase the price.

The price ref new 116710BLNR $65,300 is to test the market response.

As Submariner Ref 11660LN is Selling HKD$62,100 and GMT Master II Ref 1161710LN Green Pointer is selling HKD$61,200 which is about HKD$900 lower than Submariner. There will have tendency to increase price of Submariner from HKD$62,100 to somewhat higher but there should be some changes on the design.

Will Submariner stay on higher price like HKD$66,100?  But they got to have new modification, they have the Ref 16610LV Green bezel, and Ref 116610LV Green Bezel Green Dial now, What else!?

I think they may come up with a Chocolate Dial and Submariner which does look like patina dial that Would be a great new for me as this will be empty my pocket again.

If that is the case, I will be the first one to buy!

SkyDweller

For many cases, Rolexes will release a low cost steel versions after gold is released, but I think it will not happen for Sky Dweller, WHY?

They need not to go for these Steel version as they want to reserve its Prestige position as they will kill the White gold Sky Dweller market, unless they market a new colour to differentiate the White Gold Sky Dweller, somewhat like Day Date, no steel version.

Milgauss Ref 114600

I guess Milgauss While Dial will be suspended for production as it is a slow mover.

The Ref 114600LV green glass with dark grey dial will still be available in 2014.

The Ref 114600 Black dial the best seller will remain active.

I guess that Rolex will launch a new Milgauss of new colour Dial with the iconic orange second pointer in Baselworld 2014!   Which One In terms of popularity, they may consider this order :

Blue, , Orange, Green, Burgundy Red, Brownish Red,

For Blue colour to be revieled in BaselWorld, chance is high, Orange is good that is a great colour for young people who wears this Milgauss for all kind of activities. I like Orange Most!

Honesty, I like the Burgundy most and then the Orange

For the above model, thos are just my personal comment only.

一錶傍身，世界通行

March 8 1800. taken by Samsung Note III

下午下班後，這是香港一個寫照，

街上好靜，行人吾多，有警務人員忙於送上"美真香"比一台平治，两台BMW, 一台豐田，不奕樂乎。

對面那麻雀學校內又發生不少故事，愛賭之電車男，主婦，小商人，教師，銷營經理，剛拉上褲子不久陀地骨妹入内發洩發洩在麻雀枱上。

貼滿租廣告空舖找租客中，我心想，最好是開檔铺，不，左面己有一檔利寶押，右面又開一檔大押，那有這麼多客源?
有計，龍威的熟客拿金撈來多當半成!

鬼知咩，輸起錢想盡地一舖，拿到幾$都殺。

想一想，出擋的勞力士有不少數都是來自賭仔手上來的。

君不見澳開賭場不到一百米內必有檔舖。

男人必踫到標賭飲蕩吹其中一瓣或一瓣以上。

何謂嫖賭飲蕩吹? 分別解作:
嫖是嫖妓的意思；
賭是賭博；
飲是酗酒；
蕩是放蕩；
吹是吸毒（清朝時稱"食大煙"）
幾樣行為加起來是對男性陋習、惡習的統稱

香港勞奴勸誡兄弟們玩玩算，吾好沉迷，留番一些錢買隻勞士傍身。一錶傍身，世界通行!

什麼錶世界通行?Rolex GMT MASTER II 囉!


買大路勞力士賺錢是騙人的，賺到戴就真!

我四年前用十萬五千買了Ref 18049 白金Day Date 我昨年賣了十二萬五千!

我五年前買了一隻隻紫色面ref 18038 七萬五，咋年賣七萬八。呢D叫做賺到戴囉!

Shops that do Watch Whole Sales in HK



While Abenomic is working out some magic to change the Japanese Economy, at least some of the Japanese White collars are receiving an increase of salary for the first time in the past 5 years.

Well, while Japanese was used to be the major Collector’s paradise for Rolex in the 80’s. They have huge collection of various Rolex watches… but now there is a change for them to CASH them, more and more watch chain sell their Rolex in HK, Brand Off at Lok Road, and this new shop I found yesterday at Hoi Noi Road TST.

They do whole sales, for those people who buy watch and re-marketing them in their countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam…

This is the “Jupiter” you can try other than Kuen Kee who does Whole Sales.

Rolex Suspends production of Daytona Rainbow.

Rolex Daytona Rainbow

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona Rainbow Watch. 40mm 18K yellow gold case set with 56 diamonds, fixed bezel set with 36 rainbow colored baguette sapphires, screw-down push buttons, black dial with gold crystal sub-dials, 8 diamond hour markers, and Oysterlock bracelet.

Due to the necessity to source the diamond in a rainbow colour spectrum, it places a tough job to the jewellry smith in finding the right diamond of right size and colour matching the specification of “Rainbow”

Rumour that Rolex has suspended the production of this Watch, and there is very minimum stock available in HK Rolex AD, I should say close to zero, where some of the gray dealer may have a few pieces, that is all!

I would say this might be a good news to those who has bought this watch as it would be an auction hot item after 3 years!

I will try update on the production re-start date as I think they are sourcing the gemstone now.

Price in HKD:-

Rolex Ref 116200 Oyster DateJust, best value for money Rolex!

Pictures were taken by my Samsung Note III hand phone 3 March 2014

If you ask me what is the best value for money Rolex, I would like to say this is it the Oyster Date Just Ref 116200!

Yes, a Rolex Date just of lowest investment with most daunting performance and outlook, this is it!

An Oyster Date Just 36mm with plain smooth bezel resembles of the highest Flag ship top of the line Date Date with Ice Blue dial in Platinum Ref 118206 with a list Price of HKD$430,000!

This Ref 116200 carrying a list price of HKD$49,000, if you get less 15%, that is about HKD$43,000!

Oh man, this is just  about 1/10 price of the Platinum Day Date, with 1/2 of the outlook similarity and same Perfomance.

Why Should I say so?

They both has smooth bezel, yes!

They have the same size, both are certified Chronometer with perpetual Automatic rotor system of 42 hours power reserve. yes!

Of course, one is Platinum and the other one is stainless steel. One is Ice Blue Dial and one is white Silver!

Sinn U1 Ref SI-255 Diver's Watch

The Above Pictures was taken by Samsung Note III

This is a massive watch for deep Sea Diving, a head to head competitor of Rolex Submariner Ref 116610LN.  Function should be very similar but price is just a 24% of a Rolex!

Well, I was deceived by the Titanium look of the watch but it was made with super sturdy steel. This watch weighs 190 gram with metal strap, may be it helps to pull you sink faster in sea.

The Finish is superb, colour and arrangement of the hour minute hands is perfect, easy to read.

Price is just HKD$15,000 net if you had  a chance to buy in Munich. But in HK the list price is HKD$28,000.

This might be another choice for your diving gear if you have had already Rolex.

Watch Data

Model: U1 Tegimented reference SI-255

Price: $15,000 in Munich using card, HKD$28,000 in Hong Kong before discount, I believe I get less 15% only. You can find in Shop IFC Hong Kong Central or Shop in i-Square right at top of Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station.

Size: 44mm x 15mm (50mm lug to lug)

Weight: 190g on bracelet and 173g or 155g on rubber straps (large and small buckle)

Remarks: The bracelet diver's extension is not easily micro-adjustable as it need a special hexagonal Allen Key of about British 1.7’ (Comes with the watch)
