Watch Sold 15 June 2015

I only Live Twice, one for my life, one for the Dream

You Only Live Twice or so it seems,

One life for yourself and one for your dreams.

You drift through the years and life seems tame,

.

.

.

Make one dream come true, you only live twice.

And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on,

Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone.

This is the beautiful James Bong Movie Theme song

"You Only Live Twice - Nancy Sinatra": Greatest Hits 1965-1971. It was written by Barry, John.

Honesty, I don't have the luxury to live twice, we need to capture the opportunity to make a bold decision to make your dream come true. The dream of a James bond Watch; a basically indestructible Rolex!

For friends who know me, in HK, I have sold three of my Rolexes** that I spent $222,000  in five years ago and I sold to collector at $281,000

That is a profit of 27%.

Well, we cannot say this is not bad trade, either I cannot say this is very good as comparing with some of the Vintage Patek Philippe. But my investment is small while my growth is 2 digits in just  4 to 5 years.

I have been using these watches every day, that is one of the beauty of the Rolex. You keep on using it and it is getting aged day by day, but still it can create extra value by time I sold it. Is that Awesome!?

So what is the best items that we can be made as my next dream, here is my personal opinion.

Ref 116660 Deepsea D-Blue

Super Rare and seems it is harder to get, it may be matching my earlier saying that it is the plot of Rolex to select this watch as the star of the sky!

AD MRSP $90,500

It was sold at open market at HK$89,000 Sept 2014.

In march $91,000, May $92,000 to 93,000

Now it is about to leap into ranges of $93,000 to 94,500

So it is time to get one, I would like to say yes, as there is rumour that this model will be discontinued soon.

So what is the lowest price we can get it, it is About $93,000 now.

Ref 116610LV Submariner Green Bezel and green Dial, simply I like this for the first full green color made for Submariner.

MRSP $68,100.  A reasonable price is $65,000 to $66,000

Ref 16610LV Submariner Anniversary Green Bezel, black dial Flat 4, this is the earliest release 2009, full set NOS. I believe the price will soar high in coming years.

Current Price is about $75,000- $80,000. Note that this was selling about $40,500  in 2009.

Ref 116710BLNR GMT MASTER II Batman, MSRP $67,300, a new one is about $64000 to 65,500

The above models are difficult to be found at AD, the price here is the gray dealer import price in HKD.

Remarks **

Ref 18049 Day Date, 18238 Day Date Yellow Gold, Ref 19018 OQ Yellow Gold in Oak dial.

Rolex Daytona White, Black, Submariner Two Tone Blue on sale

Do you think Daytona Black is more preferred for People of Hong Kong?

Generally, yes, that is true, but as far as a user, everyone says White is preferred as it can tell time easier whereas Black dial looks confusing.

Price Black is Higher as Rolex wants to control it for their marketing need.

What is the most prepfered Submariner date? Yes, many of the men above 30' like to go for Two Tone Blue dial.

As it is a bit more not that bore with stainless steel, the Blue looks adorable to me.

Nevertheless, here we have :-

Daytona Black Ref 116520  $90,500

Daytona White Ref 116520 $85,500

Carpe Diem

Bruce Lee Said, "Don't Bully me for My poor Education!"

There are numerous happy moments in our life.

Of course there are equal number of miseries in it, let’s forget it with a glass of good wine with your friends.

There is no association between Happiness and Wealth; but there is always a good price with a pitiful good watch!

The Mango Popsicle of a 5 years kid is as adorable as the Black Aventador of an executive.

My vintage 6694 with patina dial may not be as less adorable as someone’s PateK’s 5711 white gold.

No matter what the Tomorrow will be, either you face it with laughter or with pitiful pathetic worry!

Today we had a long chat with friend about the young generation who would have much less opportunity then we were in the 80’s and 90’s, I don't agree as nowadays there are still many chances for the young ones. If you have passion in your work, if you could really work hard; work Smart is the terms of those lazy people as an excuse. Your work will be soon been recognized, and reward will come!

Standard for Good Rolex search

No standard at all, most of the key point so the one you Like with the budget you have, and use it every day. That will be your GOOD Rolex!

Standard for a Good woman

Well, old said there should be having Three Big, and three small

Eye, Breast, Hip should be big

Mouth, Wrist and feet to be small.

Standard for your girl friend’s age

My golden rule Man’s age divided by Two plus ten will be the right age of your girl friend.

Standard for good taste

Try all the bad taste first, then you started to know what good taste should be…

No matter what the Tomorrow will come, either you face it with laughter or pitiful pathetic worry, it is my choice!

This AD has what you want at the window Display

This is a Picture I took on 30 May along Nathan Road at Mong Kong MTR Station.

Well, It carried all the Hot Models we are looking for:-

The GMT Master II Ref 116710BLNR at the Left, the Submariner Hulk Ref 116610LV.

But for most of the time, when you enter and ask, they told you those are reserved by their customers.

Or if you want to buy you have to pay cash for the MRSP or sometimes even you have to pay more than the list price.

Anyway, worth to try if you pass by...no harm!

It is at 646, Nathan Road!

Happiness and Worry



Happiness and Worry

Most of the people carry worry are not happy,

However happiness always comes with Worry. 

It would be easy to tie up an Index Happiness with how rich you are.

But most of the cases, they aren't…

Many people are very rich, not necessarily they are Happy.

I have a Friend who is the top 200 tax payers in Philippines, but he has to eat 20 over pills a day.

He is Rich but I don't think that is Happy. I had learnt a story from a French I met yesterday that he met a Super Rich lady in HK, she has to carry bag of medicine and pills every day. And she won’t feel uneasy to have her French teacher waiting for 3 hours to start the lesson!

Well, many of my colleagues are very rich, but I hardly seen them smile, well, Money that is really matter for them, work hard, save hard, rush to finish his plate of Cha Siu Rice at Tai Pai Dong lunch time, then rush out to breathe his dessert of Marlboro Gold.

A CFO running after Money for the past 25 years, earned average 5M a year. That is not had money for a position in HK. After his retirement, he got cancer and passed away within 2 years. Why? Because he had so focused on his work and that his Engine kept running 4,000 RPM during his life serving the company. Once he retired, the engine is idling at 900 RPM, and his cancer cells have had started growing at 5,000 RPM….

I had another friend who is so rich that he can buy a pair of Loud speaker cable 6 feet with USD $12,000, It is about HKD$640 dollar for an Inch? How about sound likes? Well, must be “Different” but that Difference” is what you had paid for, well, he is happy, that is what money spent for.

Another friend “C” who love to have PP, and he is looking at a discontinued Model 5960P Blue dial.  When I offered him once he did not respond, after the watch was sold out.… and one day…

He asked me to find one for him, well, good friend Leon spotted One in Watch air in HK on last Friday with HK$328,000. I informed “C” he can go and buy… he returned me message : “Ask them to offer HKD$280,000, then I will consider? “

I was shock ….Well, as a friend, I said: “Hey, those people selling watch there are some of the Rich people in HK  Class B in HK, the Show start at 10 and close at 5, they don't have time for tire-kickers, and of course me and my friend will not do thing “insane “ to be so cheap asking price reduction in front of this nuisance in the fair.

….

Most of the rich people think that they deserved to be served. The process of buying a watch is fun.


Of course, it is pitiful that after you have bought it, it will be kept in the dark cool safe deposit for year, and waited to see the light one day someone will offer better price to “BUY” from you. That is Watch trading. You are he Store keeper of this watch, not the real owner…

What is life meaning to the watch is to tick on your wrist, only when it get rains on it, wind, sand storms, fogs, sea water, morning dews at Tai Mo Shan, sweat, and that is the real function of a great watch.

I have seen a friend who never like to wear “new “ watch, after he bought a new Watch:-

He held his watch and rubbed on Sands at beaches, he put in a glass of diluted ammonia and left the watch inside there for days, then he put it in a “ Washing Machine “ with Clothes to wash for hours, and he worn it happily…probably his watch is very Clean…  his watch is now made to look like a vintage Patek Philippe!  He is Happy!

Hong Kong isn’t the poorest country in the world and people is not poor I mean the Class B and C,  but I think most of them is not happy!

You know most of the men have only 2.3 times sex a month?  Of course I think if 60 Times a month Might not be a “Happy Event” too!

95% of your boss never showed smile to you and your colleague, only in front his direct superior and or his customers, well, when you get old and you can read faces like I do,  And it is hard for me to tell any difference between cunning grin and smile from his cheek.

The above mentioned is not story, it is real things I have experienced….

You may ask why I write this … well, I really don't know myself! Till next!
