Best of the bunch at Baselworld 2016
HK Snob Personal Score on Rolex
This is purely my personal preference, as being a Day Date lover, I always be a honest fan on precious Metal, gold or platinum.
This year's Rolex best of the Bunch is the Green Dial Rolex Daytona in 18 KT Yellow Gold.
Such a Rolex Green with red trim on the sub dial touched up with a Red "Daytona" below the centre of the hands are amazing. I believe this dial design is everlasting for me.
The most attractive for most of the Rolex Fans are no Question the White Daytona steel version.
Panda Like Daytona are likely be the hot star of all Rolex Daytona Lover.
Ref 116500LN MSRP 11,800 CHF or EU$10,740
Likely this watch will be set at List price of HKD$100,000.
I believe that the market price will be higher than the MSRP, unless Rolex will product the watches to fulfill everyone's request.... No way, remember this is the best skill of Rolex marketing: "less is more!"
I have already received 4 people with 5 orders all on the WHITE Panda.
One has already placed me Cash USD$4,000 such that he has the right to get it on the FIRST Hand, of course, Money Talks...
If you want to get this watch, you can talk to us and we will do our best to get few pieces in June (I guess they will launch at June), or people will smash the Rolex AD window glass to snap the display Daytona at Bucherer.

PS These are less people buying Rolex as I know you are waiting for the Baselword to see what you should chase for it.
We have been waiting for this Ceramic Panda Daytona, finally on 2016.
It is time for you to buy this watch....now
Baselworld 2016 – notable novelties
Baselworld 2016 –
notable novelties
So here we are
finally, after all the longing and waiting, the Baselworld 2016 Watch Fair is
underway. The moves of the brands this year are quite predictable, to be honest
by HK Watch Fever Group.
Rolex and Patek
Philippe remain to be the center of all spotlight.
Zenith and Breguet
have each given us some nice new watches as well.
The long awaited
new Rolex Daytona 116500LN is out this year. It comes with two dial options,
black and white, with their sub-dials surrounded by grey rings and black rings
respectively.
The ceramic bezels are black on both models. The white dial
version seems to be more handsome than the black dial one as it is too dark in
the overall tone. Other than that, the white dial version also reminds us of
the “Paul Newman” Daytona.
The ceramic bezel’s engraved graduations are coated
with a layer of platinum – just like other Rolex ceramic bezels.
The movement
remains to be Cal 4130. However, Rolex is not testing all its watches with its
own standard of +2/-2 seconds per day. Impressive, isn’t it? The new Daytona
also meet such rigid standard.
The new Daytona
116500LN will certainly be a hit. If you do not have a Daytona yet, buy this.
If you already have a Daytona, save up for a gold 116508 which now bears the
new style tachymeter bezel and a green dial for now. As the reference number
116500 states, the new Daytona may not replace the ref 116520 which may leave
us with two options in style – an elegant polished steel bezel or a sporty
ceramic bezel.
Other than the
Daytona, Rolex also releases a new Air King ref 116590. The views on this watch
polarize. Some say it is an unusual watch and some say it is handsome. Let’s
get into the aesthetics of the new 40mm Air King. My personal Comment is very
good as The yellow and Green can stand out sharp on the dial.
What attract me
most are the yellow crown and the green “Rolex” fonts underneath it at 12o’o
clock. It is special and catchy. The second thing worthy noting is that Rolex
blends the minute markers 3,6,9 with minute markers 5,10,20,25,35,40,50,55.
In pilot watches we often see minute markers
to be 5,10,15,20,25,30….The fonts of “Air King” at six o’ clock is
vintage-inspired. The second hand of the new Air King is green in color which
echoes with the green “Rolex” letters.. Rolex has done a good job in this watch
by finally linking it to the Air King theme – aviation.
What is worth
criticizing is that it seems like Rolex has only added something on the
Explorer design. The 3,6,9 reminds you of the 216570 Explorer I. Also, the dial
seems, to many of us, to be too busy. To me, I hope the watch could be thinner
to retain the curves it should have. However, at 5900 CHF, this is a good entry-level
Rolex.
The most notable
release of Patek Philippe this year is the PP 6300g-001. It is the white gold
version of the 150th anniversary Grandmaster Chime but without the
engraving on the case. It is also a predictable release as PP devoted a lot of
time and effort on developing the Grandmaster Chime. I expect there will be
more versions coming next year.
The other notable
release is the PP 5930g-001. It is a world-time chronograph which should become
a direct competitor with the Girard Perregaux Traveler WW. TC.
Zenith and Breguet
have released two military pilot watches which are both very impressive. Zenith
has released the Pilot Café Racer. The watch has an aged stainless steel case. It
is 45mm wide and comes with an olive green nubuck strap. The numerals are beige
in color and it has a grained slate grey dial instead of a black dial. The
whole watch feels super military and vintage.
If that is not enough for
lovers of military style watches, check out Breguet’s new Type XXI
Ref.3817. The
watch is the stainless steel version of the platinum one which Breguet released
for Only Watch 2015. I will let the picture speaks for itself.

BaselWorld Rolex Fantasy
Blueberries
What do we expect
to see at Baselworld 2016?
New Rolex watches,
of course.
The long awaited
Rolex Daytona with ceramic bezel is one of the hottest expectations from watch
enthusiasts.
Given the fact that the current 116520 has been in production for
16 years, it may be the right time for it to retire and be replaced by a new reference
with ceramic bezel.
However, Rolex is conservative as we all know, even in the
introduction of ceramic bezels on Daytona. The ceramic bezels on Daytona first
appeared on rose gold version with alligator strap. Then, it started to appear
on platinum ones.
So, if we look at how Rolex released their Yacht-Master II
(from precious metal to stainless steel), we may find clues that there can be a
new Daytona with ceramic bezel. I hope to see a black ceramic bezel with a
panda dial as a brown ceramic bezel may not appeal to everyone. Maybe the
stainless steel Daytona with ceramic bezel will come in versions on straps
first. But please do surprise us, Rolex.
Another watch I
would like to see is the Sky-Dweller in stainless steel. Given that Rolex a few
years ago made a stainless steel Yacht-Master II, I would like to see another
complicated timepiece with accessible prices in stainless steel.
I also expect to
see the stainless version of last year’s 116655 that did not come with a
bracelet.
Also on my wish list
are more dial options for the Datejust II. However, I expect the line may be
replaced by Datejust 40 at Baselworld, just as how the Daydate II was replaced
by Daydate 40. The new Datejust 40 may receive movement upgrades, which is
another step towards upgrading all Rolex movements.
What about some
fantasy watches? I would like to see another Deep Sea variant which is, unlike
the D-blue , officially announced at Baselworld. A white gold version with blue
ceramic bezel and blue dial may look good.
Another watch I
would like to see is the 116713 with a green dial. It will be a hit for people
who cannot afford the full gold version 116718.
Worth noting is
that there may also be surprises coming from the Explorer I line. A white dial
version will be nice.
Anyway, Baselworld
is around the corner, let’s hope that Rolex will bring us affordable surprises
this year.

PS
HK Snob ... I think the chance of launching Blueberries will drive the batman people crazy but make me happy!
Let's see who wins the jackpot.
Buying Rolex in HK AD Shops
The Submariner matches perfectly with Umar!
Nowadays I seldom offer a service to friend to go to buy Rolex at AD, partly I am not always in HK, well once in a whilst if there is a friend's request to go to buy at certain discount. I do...
Like today, I brought one Banker to buy his first Submariner Date!
He is happy, but he was not aware, I have already bewitched him on Rolex. he will buy his second and third... and fourth...
Happy Rolex Day my Friend!

Standard Kits for Rolex Bracelet adjustment
Every time when you buy a Rolex, most of the time you will requirement to adjust the right length of the bracelet for matching your wrist with wearing comfort.
And every time we highly recommend you to apply drops of Loctite 221 into the screw thread of the bracelet pin to prevent it to loosens by itself. a Drop of Loctite may save your Rolex to drop onto the floor!
