Affer a Horse, A bull, a Sturdy Watch, a Analogue Set-up, what's next for you!?












After you had a wild horse, a mighty Bull, a nice Time Instrument, no matter RM, PP, VC, RD, Hublot,
I like Rolex, well, it is best in terms of value for money and it would not be losing face when you meet some of the Celebrities in town.

Of course, it may not be just one-watch for every Sunday, but Rolex DD is what I prefer most as an every day’s Watch.

How about other things that you Must have One and that you may have to speak to and listen to it more than to your spouse!?

That is your mobile phone, if you have a Horse, a Bull, a Sturdy Gold Watch, a pure Vinyl Vacuum tube Analogue Set-up, then you may need this Omega Elite Phone….

All in gold of Platinum, decorated with Diamond, and could be customized to have your own arms design, signature on the phone., Absolute Unique and Absolute affordable for most of the executives.  

If you think you will not buy, well, because you are not yet ready only….

Price starting USD$6,500, if you are interests, let me know.

Manny Pacquaio and Mayweather's "Flight of the Century" and Pacman's Rolex Daytona




Perhaps that $500 million Contest was not that properly handled and gave off the pungent odor of   scam. Imagine a ticket of USD$330,000 is good enough for someone to buy a house in Hong Kong.

The “fight of the century” what was mislabeled as it mired in controversy minutes after the scores were read on that Saturday night.

I think Pacquiao will have another fight with Mayweather again, Will you come to Watch?

Well, that should be done within maximum 1-2 years as Manny is now 37 and Mayweather is 35, they can wait but time cannot!

Well, what watch did Manny wear after the fight in the media meeting… That is again his Favourite Rolex Daytona Daytona valued USD$480,000. That he had once forget and left in a CR of a Manila hotel, and was found after he offers a reward of Peso 5,000,000!

Is that a legendary Watch!? I would say yes, and That was has used as an icon Watch of Manny, the hero of the Philippines….  Does he look like Bruce Lee?

Phillips Auction on Rolex Day Date in Hong Kong

1958 Rolex DD in Platinum



Rolex Day Date
From those who have been reading my Blog know well, I am a big fan of Day Date as I have posted a lot more on this Rolex Flag Ship.
Over the past 5-8 years, I have been saying that the Day Date Value is Under-estimated… I am glad that a few of friends now were being poisoned by me going from Submariner into Day Date Collections. And they are many times crazier than I am!

Well, those Day Date Watches has earned a nicked name of “Old Cake” meaning old men’s watch. (老餅).

By right, it is not mocking at the Watch because the Day Date is made of Gold, either yellow Gold, White gold, Rose Gold or Platinum.

Rolex Day Date price is not cheap at all. I guess a young executive nowadays could easier afford, but all all could.
Majority of the people may not be able to consider that, that is why large number of Rolex Fans go to those Stainless steel Watches Submariner, GMT Master II, Explorer…as their price is lower.

If I had an amount of HK$95,000 I would not die for a new Daytona Stainless, I Why not go for a Day Date?
Well, this is purely my preference as I always believe gold is precious metals, value is always there.

Look at this recent Auction in HK, it gives you a better and clearer picture on prices of Day Date…

The Most Expensive is a 1958 Day Date in Platinum; What? 
                
                              "CHF 473,000!"


I feel that there was a insider boost of the price with purpose to promote this auction of the first time as final price is too high than we can find from other auction.

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?
