Rajinikanth's Inspiration

Coincidently friend of mine invited us to go for Titan black Watch show in HK yesterday, and Today Anthony from Philippines talks about Need and Greed of Rajinikanth. They also mentioned the Titan Watch.

Lathbridge Limited 20pcs

Project X

Titan is an India Watch and Titan Black is from Lathbridge ; a Rolex Customization by plating with DLC.

Well, there are too much materialistic Temptation:, car, phone, Watch and other personal effect.

i8

When I first saw i8, I shouted loud ”Wow! What a car!” though it was selling $2,530,000!

There you are buying the first class engineering product from Germany, a three cylinder 1.500cc turbo charger engine with a stack of battery cells could deliver a few hundred horse power and speed up from zero to 100km in 11.2 sec!

What is my option?

I am no RICH man, I always like to buy the best I can with my budget, , that that is why I need to have a little sensible control on what I would spend.

Car is not my need in HK, I would not buy any at this moment.

London & Co, 24 KT gold iPhone6 001/250

An iPhone6 gold version or a Cheapo Java, Xiomei, or a special 24K gold version of iPhone 6?

I choose Samsung Note III, as I had to use the “S Note” function for all my illustration on my Blog as my need.

Rolex Submariner in 18KT gold Patina Purple Dial Ref 16618 L-Series

A Titan, Timex or a Rolex?

As for Watch, I don't think I have to say more, you should know my choice,

Rolex!

In all purchase more than $30,000 I need to go through with a “Calm Down period”, think again should I need to buy?

Or simply “ is it an Investment ?“ or just a Consumable item!?

It matters most is if you feel Happy and affordable to buy; go ahead!

I learn from A Philippine Friend Anthony Today: 

Materialization is not everything!

Rajinikanth



The Inspiration of Rejinikanth confirms my saying…

Whether you have a Maruti or a BWM, the road remains the same.

Whether you travel economy Class of business, your destination does not change.

Whether you have a Titan or a Rolex, the time is the same.

Whether you have Apple Samsung or Lava, people who call you remains the same.

There is nothing wrong in dreaming a luxurious life.

What needs to be taken care of is to not let the NEED become GREED.

Because needs can always be met, but greed can never be fulfilled  -  Rajinikanth

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!
