Rolex Day Date Pyramid OysterQuartz in Lapis Lazuli Dial Ref 19028




 
This is exactly the same watch taken by different time/camera
 
 


I have been looking this Holy Grail of Rolex...


Solid Gold, Lapis Azuli Dial, Day Date, Pyramid Watch Case

Well, finally this Italian gentleman sent me pictures of his newly bought Watch..

A Rolex OysterQuartz Day Date pyramid with Lapis Azuli Dial. 

Look at this, what else?

I think Rolex has made less than 10 pieces this particular watch ever from 1977 to 2003.

We should be happy...




How you find the culture of HK and Philippines?

When you stare at a beautiful lady in Hong Kong for more than 0.5 second, immediately her face will change black and she may give you dirty eyes!

When I stare at a beautiful lady in Manila, usually she smiles at you bas return.

When I saw someone wearing a nice watch and I ask him to show me., well, they would, at least so far I have asked five people and all they would…and One time even the gentleman took it off and pass to me, that was a Solid Gold Rolex Day Date Oyster Quartz, (the first one sold in the Philippines with USD$5,000 back in 1977)

If you ask the same in Hong Kong, I bet there will happen…

50% that the man will say “Sorry, No!”

10% of the people will give you his middle finger! Perhaps… well, there is 10% of nice decent people will share his watch with you… ! Even though, I will not do so in Hong Kong!

Well, I fully understand the difference of culture and difference of the people who live in different world. Philippines is a lands of smile and paradise and Hong Kong a rich place but many of the people are so much suspicious about the other motive…

Everyone wears a mask to go to work, and there is so much stress for most of the people living in this place.

I was happy in the past except the last ten years, I see the changes, people are living in a pressure cooker!

My boss of the company asked the hotel receptionists that if there were any women sleep with me ever at in my room?

What a pathetic life of you?….  Come on, what is my privacy!? Are you crazy!?  %%#$#!

Life is too short by time I write this my life calculator has already shortened by 30 minutes…

I think we should always happy… should we!?

IWC Porsche Design Ocean 500 on sale











Since their inception of Porsche Design in 1972, they have worked with Orfina, then IWC, and since 1998, Eterna. Without a doubt, the most fruitful collaboration was during the years with IWC, from 1978 to 1997.

 

These were dark years for the Swiss watch industry, yet it was a time when Porsche Design and IWC turned out some amazing watches, many of which broke new ground in the use of materials and capitalized on both brands’ emphasis on Germanic, functional design.

 
This is Ocean500 diver watch in sleek Titanium bracelet, Automatic, 34 mm, Screw lock Type bezel which later on Longines took the design out it onto its Conquest.

This Watch is now available for sale at HKD$10,000.

Vomit heart and Splash Blood

Richard Mille and Yeezy Boots 350, what else!?
 
 
 
First things first; his is a Chinese slang for trying very very, very hard….that it seems like you have literally thrown out your own heart and spilled out your blood.

 

What do HKers vomit their hearts and splash their blood for? Freedom? A lawful society? Monster Parents, Political chaos, Democracy, Wealth? Fair treatment? You have overestimated us.

 

These are all very important but meanwhile lofty things to fight for. These things are noble. They are complicated. They are worth fighting for. But most of us are too paltry to chase after these world-changing values.

 
The red horse of one of HK Watch Fever friends


So, we work very hard for materialistic things. Rolexes, Ferraris, Lambros, Pateks, Piguets,……. Or very fine wine Petrvs and DRC? Which could cost a grass-root level person his monthly salary X10 times or X1000 times.

 

But we are never tired of chasing after these things. We work till we cannot. We sell what we can sell, just to buy what we will later sell. Everything can be bought by installments.
 
 
You know, flats can be bought through 30 years mortgages. Rolexes and Ferraris can be had through paying by installments. I doubt for some exotic Ferraris!?

 

I am not lucky not because I am not wealthy. I am lucky because I do not know much about other more extravagance other than watches, Pen, Vinyl, Hi Fi, good food, wine…LOL!

 

Whether one vomits his heart and splashes his blood for something because he likes it is important. If you do so because you want to satisfy your ego or vanity, then forget it, because both will never be satisfied.

 

Buying a Rolex or a Ferrari will make you happy. But not for long. You will eventually sell them and look for something new. Life, however, sometimes is built on such pieces of temporary happiness. Nothing in the material world is eternal.

 

So, if you are trying too very hard today just to own a Platinum Daytona, a Richard Mille or a Ferrari, please do realize that you are about to drop into a black hole. What you want will eventually come if you really do want it.
 
 
Sweetness is the end result of all endeavors. I myself work hard to buy my beloved watches. But, it is necessary to know when you are trying too hard. If you don’t, you may lose something priceless.

 

We all live in a world full of temptations. We all live in cities where even everything is not enough. Some people work their butts off to have a sip of Laffite. Some pay his annual salary for a Patek Philippe, these are real connoisseurs, they are not collectors .
 
These are all good impetus for us to work hard. But, if in your world there are only these things, you had better take a look at what is wrong. But don't worry, When one can have passion to such a watch that take your annual income, you are the real watch lover. Same as you can buy 3 month salary to buy a Bottle of DRC, well, you are real Wine taster!

 

So I am stingy, as I always trying to buy one good one instead of twenty so so one… that is not Chinese say: One Song to run all Karaokes… this is a really watch frantic and at same time Watch economist!

 

I met a young handsome Pinoy Alfonso who worn a pair of Yeezy Boot and a stunning Richard Mille RM-11 on his wrist at First Class Airline Lounge, he looked very causal having style and all I felt he is having Motivation to chase for what he loves…

Is that what “Passion” calls in positive way or “Materialized Spoiled brain” in negative way... whatever, nevertheless I think he enjoys life.

 

Vanity of vanities, Saith the Preacher, Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!
 

After all, if you don’t have a dream what is the difference between you and Tai O salted Ma Yau Fish!?
