Rolex Date Just Oyster Perpetual

Rolex Date Just is the mainstream for Rolex has one third of their watches go to this category.

Since i had my first Date Just, I was amazed at its simple design, durability, accurate time keeping and most of all: so dependable!

Now there are a lot of ladies going for men's 36 mm size Date Just, partly they want to tell they want to have all the best men could have. Besides, the size is just right as an unisex watch.

Which one do you like?

The white one, the blue one or the Black one?

HK Watch Fever Reader's Choice on Rolex Dive Watch

I have conducted three months on HK Watch Fever readers’ vote on the preferred model of all the major Dive Watch of Rolex.

From 209 votes, we can see Submariner Hulk (Ref 116610LV) got 72 votes, 34% of the total votes.

Second is Submariner Black, then, SeaDweller and DeepSea is the last.

As the golden rule say, the lesser popular yesterday, the more value as for Tomorrow!

So as of today, both the Hulk and DeepSea D-blue is most difficult to find, it is time to get these watches when they are still available

Hulk list price is $68,100 no Discount at AD, parallel is $66,000

DeepSea D- Blue List price is $90,500 no discount, parallel is $93,500

(Uncertified Swiss AD insiders’ news that DeepSea D blue is soon discontinued! I am still verifying from various sources currently)

Those Whose Bought this watch, use it only if you have 2, or You have better keep it for a period of 5 years if you have just one)

UnionPay Can save some 0.95% of your Rolex Purchase

Normal Discount you can get officially using credit credit at Rolex AD.

HK 5%

Singapore 5-10%

Australia 10-15%

Switzerland 0-8%

Holland 15-20%

This applies to regular model, hot model like DeepSea D-Blue, Submariner Green bezel green Dial and GMT Batman is not able to get such big discount.

This is rough estimation as we know someone could ask for more discount as they know the manager or they are VIP customers.

When We buy Rolex in AD (Authorized Dealer Shop), you can use Cash, VISA, Master Card, America Express and Union Pay. I Know That HK Rolex AD does not welcome Diners Club as their bank charge is too high.

Amongst those, Union Pay seems to have the smaller percentages of Bank Charge, 1% only whereas VISA and MC is 1.95% and Am Express 2.5% (correct me if I am wrong)!

In Normal practice you can get as many as 5% discount in HK, and many people ask what is the discount if we pay in Cash, actually, same for card and Cash, but up to now I really don't understand why.

I was told that if you work down for more discounts, they may charge your surcharge if you use the credit card, at that time an UnionPay could get more discount as the bank Service change is just 1% which is the lowest amongst all credit card.

So, next time, bring a Union Pay card to Rolex AD in Switzerland and or Japan.

(For the above discount, since many people may get different discount, I hope you can tell me exactly what discount you can get in your countries.

What is my Favourite Material for Rolex...?



Gold has been described as the precious metals since the Egyptian Time.

As far back as 3,100 BC., We have evidence of a gold silver value ratio in the code of Menes, the founder of the first Egyptian Dynasty In the code it is stated that “one part of gold equal to two and one half parts of silver in value.” This is our earliest of a value relationship between gold and silver.

Take for an Instance on Rolex:

Ref 116234 stainless Steel Date Just 36mm with Fluted Bezel with Oyster bracelet MRSP HKD$58,000

Ref 118208 Day Date 36mm 18KT Yellow Gold with Smooth Bezel with President Bracelet MRSP HK$209,300

Ref 118206 Day Date 36mm in platinum, smooth Bezel with President bracelet MRSP HK$430,000

Now I should say under Rolex Marketing Strategy. …

One Platinum Day Date equals to 7X Stainless steel Day Just.

And One yellow Gold Date Day equal to 4X Stainless Steel Date just.  (to be exact is 3.6X)

The Cost of the movement of Day Date is not much higher than that of a Date Just, rough estimation manufacturing cost of The Day Date Movement is 1.6 X of that of the Date Just which is in range of a few hundred dollars.

The message is if you want to enjoy Rolex, going for the basic Date Just!

And if you want to be a bit standout of the crowd, pay a respect of 7X for a Platinum, flagship Day Date!!

This is my pure personal opinion only, of course only if one could afford!

USA and Europe Top 10 Rolex Submariner

Sent by a Philippine Friend on this interesting Site about Submariner.

This is the referral material that you can refer before you search for you best beloved Common Submariner with your budget.

Special species are not to be discussed here, as those are very hard to find with sky high price, it is normal that higher end Submariner will be likely the target for those watch Specialists who are keen on re-creating the “Authentic Fake”! :(

As a Short Summary, the top 5 Model for Submariner :-

No. 1 Ref 16610

No. 2 Ref 16613

No. 3. Ref 5513

No. 4. Ref 114060

No. 5. Ref 1680

The Top 5 Vintage Rolex Submariner:-

No. 1 Ref 5513

No. 2  Ref 1680

No.3  Ref 16800

No. 4 Ref 5512

No. 5 Ref 6538

What bother me is what the best model that you still can buy in the market. These are the common model that we still can get in the Market.

16610, 16613, 114060, 1680, 16680, 5513.

Rolex Submariner Ref 5513

What is my target!?

Ref 5513

The 5513 was produced from 1962 through June or so of 1990, which must be one of the longest continually produced Submariner in Rolex history. The reference 5513 was introduced in 1962, and replaced the reference 5508.

The reference 5513 used calibers 1520 and 1530. The caliber 1530 was used in both the 5513 and 5512 calibers for a time. The 5512 carried the C.O.S.C. certification while the 5513 using the same caliber DID NOT have the chronometer certification.

Today, the 5513 is one of the most collectable Submariners, and while it is still accessibly priced, market prices have almost doubled from 2003 to 2009.

Estimated price

5513 year 1965-1967 US$13,000 to 19,000

16610LV Flat 4 Submariner

Ref 16610LV

In 2003 or so, reference 16610LV was introduced, but has only cosmetic changes to the Submariner Date -- a green bezel and a "maxi dial" which has larger hour markers. Note that there was an earlier version was made with “Flat 4” bezel, that one should be one of the watch we should not ignore if you want to turn it into your investment item of Rolex as Still we can buy it with Full set in market with Reasonable amount.

Estimated price

16610LV  year 2003 to 2005  US$ 7,000 to 9,000

Where can we buy?
Vintage Concept, Kuen Kee, Union Watch...etc
