Jason Statham Wears Richard Mille RM011 in "Parker" (2013 Movie)

RM011 In "Parker"

Taken with SS Note III Hand Set on my Cheapo Olevia TV.

A Panerai in Jason's "Transporter"



My eyes are always falling on people’s watch, noticeable on their types, brand…style…even on Movie.

“Parker”, a movie where Jason Statham played as Daniel Parmitt’s who wear a Clearly Iconic Watch  design as a Richard Mille RM011 Felipe Massa. Obviously RM had paid a big lump sum for two Close ups in the entire movie.

Well, Parmitt’s Role as a Texan Rich man buying estate at Miami with help of Leslie (Jennifer Lopez) wearing such a Watch is a good choice… But Always I have a tough man as Jason in his movie… He should wear something like Panarai, Royal Oak Offshore or a Submariner….  Whereas RM011 should work better with Dicaprio Leonardo.

Silicon Nitride, applied on this RM011, is a hard coating material normally used in engine parts, semiconductor bonding equipment common on some surface that is requiring a smooth surface finishing a tough hard layer to withstand wearing, and a black coating to act as good background again the Lighter colour of lead frame material, such that Auto PRS (pattern Recognition System ) could take snap shot of the profile of the lead frame, that is a prerequisite requirement for the bonder to place the Silicon Chip right on the Bonding pad.

It is not an expensive process itself, but a stable process is required to maintain the evenness of the coating and colour. So the entire cost become High!

Back to the RM011 watch, 18 – carat gold, titanium details, flyback chronograph with 60-minute countdown timer, 55 hours of power reserve, Price US$119,000. Stock Available.

Proposal Of Making Watches with Human Gene...

There are so many kinds of material have been used for making watch case since the last two centuries…

Silver, yellow gold, White gold, stainless steel 316L, 904L, Pink Gold, Platinum 950, Brass, Silicon, plastic, ceramic composite, carbon composite and  solid Sapphire case…

Audemars Piguet using composite material to make a watch case that takes a tedious process to manually inserting fibre into as watch mold, then apply pressure and heat to form the light yet strong material as case.

I got an idea that watch has become a personal touch of having some human Tissues, hair or human Waste… as part of the material of watch case…

Idea is from a French Artist who put his personal "Shit" into a Can and sell in auction, someone bid with few thousand dollars.

We had some Chemical analysis on those excrement found in tomb of the ancient Chinese Emperor to analyse what food they took back to their time thousand years ago.

So what if I get some of the personal genes from some of the celebrities to make the case!? After a few thousand year, probably with that technology, the extraction of the DNA could possible re-build the man/lady…

As far as I know if portion of the material can be used for the watch case is Bone, tooth, blood?

That could be mixed with carbon composite!

So if say Obama limited Version can be made with Carbon Composition to make an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off Shore Obama-President-limited version.

Hillary Clinton Hublot Big Bang Pink gold called Hillary-Secrets.

George Bush Audemar Piguet Royal Oak you can call it “Bush Desert Storm special”

What if we mix with Bush’s excrement to make the case? Shall we call it Buxx Shit?

Erika Rose Prieto's Choice: Gold Daytona and Day Date from Rolex

As she introduces herself in her profile, she is an easy-going type of person.... She loves what she does.

She loves being an independent woman; stopped studying and focused in career as fashion model....fashion, party, traveling and meeting new people is not just of what she likes , but also

loves spending time in kitchen “cooking”!

Erika is of the Candidates of Miss Philippines 2012!

How about her watch?

I personally would recommend her using large and gold model from Rolexes, such as Daytona or Day Date in Pink gold or yellow Gold!

Maui Pineda and Celine De Castro's Watches: Rolex and Tudor

Maui was a smart and charming lady who used to work with us in our Philippine office as a material Sales. She was a finery lady and could possibly handle customer better than I could... She joined another company in May 2014.

We are good friends, She likes Rolex as much as I do...



Celine is a model and She like Two tone Rolex, also Tudor with Diamond bezel and colourful dial with matching strap. I could buy with special VIP Discount and that is no better deal in other places. Why not?

No matter what, Rolex and Tudor. I am sure you agee that she couldn't be better than perfection with those watches on.

Rolex Submariner Ref 16618 18 KT Gold With Kick-Ass Onyx Dial.

“A Haha, I can read Chinese, but not write. I enjoyed your 'casual' observations of the life as you experience and see it. One will realize there are many colors to a crayon box, and just as in life. There are always oddities, as such, life is full of Ying and Yang, and large shades of gray all over. Just enjoy as we can, we only live 100 years! on 週日發噏風 Casio, taxi”

I appreciate Glen that sent me such comment as stated above.

We are getting “MATURE” or “OLD” but not getting “SMART” by learning from mistakes… As I commented, my Life Battery has only 40% left...base on 100% =100 Years. There is no RE-Charge on life, we will consume it like Candle, an estimated life span provided no rains, no winds no jerk comes to blow off the candle as he thinks this is his birthday cake!

Life could be so meaningful, or awful is all depending on you... well, I would have made mistakes in my life but I don't regret as every time you feel regret you are still burning your candle....

Today, we had a chat with someone in a Restaurant, he is planning to run a new Restaurant such that only customer could come wearing a Rolex, AP or PP watch. I asked him what if he wears a Seiko, he said that well, they can BORROW him the watch for his entry.

On certain days, I had a plan to open a Cafe or Jazz Bar where y I can place my Analogue Audio Equipment there….playing 50 or 60s Jazz music from the B&W or JBL loudspeaker, the ECC803S and WB300B* power tubes could possibly delivery WATTS into the loudspeaker!? WE300B, can it be as it can deliver 6W max in an optimized bias into the loudspeaker. What I am trying to say is WE300B valve as Pre-amp tubes, not in the power amp stage. Driving the power starved JBL or B&W may need EL34 or even KT88!

Today, friend of mine show me his Rolex 16618 Solid Gold with Onyx dial, WHAT? Onyx dial again?

Yes, Onyx dial on Submariner a Solid 18KT gold Submariner?

This is rare, sorry I should say “SUPER RARE”!

And it comes with Paper and Box, who is that chap wants to sell this item!

Someone that may have two of these watches,  someone that is looking for Submariner with lapis Blue dial? Someone who may drive his Orange Lamborghini to go work!

Not me of course, But at least I have a chance to take a closer look into it.

Times flies only hours, there are already INTERESTED PARTIES looking for that.

Price, I think Only HK Snob cannot say “NOT CHEAP” simply I am poor, but someone who knows Rolex would have said :CHEAP!” but of course in his heart. It is only $180,000!  (HK Dollars)

By time I post this on my blog, likely It would have gone already…into some Collector’s hand, Are you interested?


PS 
ECC803S is the Telefunken pre-amp valve.
WE300B is Western Electric power valve.

Note this watch was sold to one pawnshop owner and a gem diamond expert on 27 June 2014. L

Watch that you cannot get it from Rolex, they are the bespoke or Customized "Rolex" by Project X Designs, UK.

The X-groove on the crowns is the insignia of X-Projects

Project X Designs is a UK Company doing watch Customizations especially on Rolex and AP.

Daniel Bourn established the company as founder, Average price of the Model is about 1.8-2 X of the original Rolex.

They change the colour of the watch black by putting a hard DLC (Diamond Like Coating)  and some of the dial are touch up with some of the ingredient people sought after… Like Comex on Submariner model. Green Daytona Dial!

Definitely that watch has no relationship with Comex. Well, I cannot speculate the future value but I think there will be some of them would hit the nerve of some of the Collectors some years later, especially those limited to few pieces…

Some of the designs are awesome but beware that Rolex will not be the one to take care your watch for any repair nor service. You have to go to Project X designs.

There is counter at Lane Crawford (IFC) HK on some of the models.

If you are interested, go and see, no discount Yet.

CASIO
我今日到九龍一錶店買隻Casio膠錶比公司旅行抽獎之用。

同老闆爹幾句，我孰他的，而每次我買平價手錶有有折的，無他，大家比面。

此錶定價$1,380. 他回價$1,250!,算了罷，利錢低得些好意須回手!
他戴住Explorer I., 看見我手上隻19018 ，佢都吾知勞力士，佢講，條錶帶好靚喎!係什麼錶呀?

我話勞力士石英錶!
佢話勞力士有石英錶的嗎? 嘩金錶喎，敢洗唔洗四萬銀呀?
我無言以對。。。。。。。

他賣錶至少二十年，錶店老闆，日日對住錶十幾個鐘。連勞力士有無石英錶都唔知?那是不是一種對自已行業的一種諷刺!

TAXI
有一次我坐開的士，那時候用係開手波的，我問那老司機如果吾踏極力子，可以由一波入二波，再二波入三波嗎? 佢一句彈過尼，話車有極力子，硬係要踏它才可轉波喇。重話我問D無里頭的問題。

同樣問題我問我在菲律賓酒店司機，他二話不說，得!，重立刻示範我睇二上三，三入四，四落三波，一路都未踏過極力子。他才28歲。所以話老師父不一定勁，後生的吾一定蠏，最重要你有無熱誠去學多D，問多D，思考多D。

我自幼家貧書少讀。大學門口都未入過。所以希望港人有書就要讀，有機會就多問下人，多D思考，我成日都這樣教D女兒門的。香港人多D努力，吾係吾得掂，行行都要專業至有飯吃。我都是廢人一個，就因為讀書少!

所以話我是港燦一名，吾係浪得虚名架!

看到一張說明書標示 "切勿在陽光下使用，以免把你嬌小的陽具弄傷!"

再打開盒子，內有一個不值十元的放大鏡!

無需多講，他無名火起三千丈，他很失望，他覺得受騙，決定報案。

網上太多太多不正當的賣買。

有一些貨不對版，

有一些貨品質低劣，

A Visit to Kuen Kee Watch Shop, Sham Shui Po

This is the way leading to Kuen Kee Watch Shop.

This is old building of no difference of the 60'.

Pak Hoi Restaurant staff is busily preparing dinner for the hungry Sham Shui Po

Residents who could pay only $20 for a meal.

A tank built by Land Rover with a Number 

plate of "AA79" which possibly bear the 

same price or more than the car

 itself, I asked staff of  Kuen Kee...

it is not theirs, may be it is belonging

 to one of the HK Rolex fans!

Another building with an external Staircases 

set up at end of Ap Liu Street.

Who could possible afford to have this

an luxury to have such a staircase anymore

My Rolex OysterQuartz Ref 19018 with Birch

 Dial I worn, which gained a little Respect 
 by Kuen Kee Old Shop Keeper with a "Nod"!





It was a very hot day yesterday with 32 Deg C. when I visited Kuen Kee which I used to go when I have time, tough it is a bit far from the Sham Shui Po MTR station.,

Well, Sham Shui Po as I mentioned, a very interesting small district , the people are not that wealthy as average comparing with other district like Wan Chai and or Central, but those people are real and kind in nature…

I could see that some of the building resembled some of the old heritage building in Penang or Melacca, it was fun to make a visit there. Don’t just focus on treasure hunting at the Rolex Shops.

I went to Kuen Kee and I talked to the people for Submariner Hulk (ref 116610LV) which I spotted they have three on their website at HKD$84,500, to my despair, they said they have nothing, meaning that their web site is not updated periodically.

I was able to help a Swedish who bought is 2003 Air King for his wife and he could get a discount of 7.5%. from List price $22,500 down to $20,800.

So meaning that it is always true to get a discount there off the price tag from 5-10%! The old shop owner spotted my Ref 19018, he grinned and looked at me and nodded once! Is that in indication of “Salute to Rolex RolexQuartz in Birch Dial or me??  

On the way going Kuen Kee , passed Pak Hoi Street, there we can see that the small “Pak ho Restaurant(北河燒臘飯店) that the boss Chan Chuek Ming（陳灼明）was helping those poor people who could spend ONLY $20 to buy three meals which is practically impossible in HK. May be he is not earning or even I should say subsidizing it himself at all.

I am thinking if idea is supported by people who would like donate one of his Rolex collection to help the poor people or not!?

If you are buying the idea doing that, we can set up a Club to help those people. I am eager to take out one Gold Rolex to help….

PS Cut out from Pak Hoi restaurants' fb

既老闆明哥（陳灼明）為咗令深水埗好多靠綜緩既街坊可以負擔得起，多年來都堅持唔­加價，二十蚊可以食三餸飯，或者買到一大碟好餸（包括咖哩蟹），又同慈善機構合作攪飯­票，而且堅持每一個月都派一次飯俾露宿者。

Some Zong Zi For All Of Us, In This Dragon Boat Festival, Today!

Dragon Boat Festival also known as the Tuen Ng Festival, this special celebration falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

The story of this festival go back to when government official Qu Yan flung himself into a river in a desperate act of protest against the nation’s corruption. His supporters frantically boarded boats and attempted to rescue him, which evolved into commemorative dragon boat races.

The next time you devour some zong zi, the tasty lotus leaf-wrapped glutinous rice traditionally eaten at this time of year, remember that it is in honour of the rice people who threw them into the water to prevent fishes from nibbling on Qu Yan’s body.

Well, to the Fans of All Rolex and HK Watch Fever, we would like requested Rolex to make some of these 18KT Solid Gold Zong Zi for us!

In case who will buy 100 Rolex at a bunch… Well, That if I could be the one, I will not be uneasy talk to  Jean-Frédéric Dufour on the request.

Wish everyone could be having a peaceful day at this time of the day “Dragon Boat Festial”.

Aftermath
Friend of mine does not like the 18KT Gold Dumpling, OK I have changed to the one I ate (made by my 84 year old mother) on the Dragon boat festival and a real-meat-Dumpling for those who need to ....Taste? Hmmmmm....
