Patek Philippe Ref 5035J annual calendar
When you look at it at first instance ......
Agree with me or not it looks a big “crowded” at the dial layout.
When you are using it for a while well I start to know how practical approach this watch is designed to.
It is very clear to be read just one glance. This is very important design objective for dial layout as Watch function is to tell you the time by display.
The watch diameter is 37 mm excluding the crown and the dial diameter is 28mm.
Within this area we need to show these information:- Month, Day, Date, 24 hour display, hour, minutes and seconds.
Pls the layout of Roman Numerics hour indexes that occupying space!
This is a challenge and I think Patek is one of the best master in this classic display dial design.
They try to use as large as the fonts with additionally simplicity on the letters to let you have a easy reading.
for example : TU instead of TUE...
Also the Day and month display dial
Is slight beveled to add a bit isometric contrast on the dial as a whole.
I like it in yellow gold more than white gold as the ivory dial matches the yellow gold case colour perfectly!
Roman numeric is more on classic approach on the design, plus a standout look on the two lines represents the essence of the swiss best watches
“ Patek Philippe, Geneve”
This is Ref 5035J

The comparison of GMT Master from Rolex and Tudor
Three GMT Master Musketeers and Batman
Rolex introduced GMT Master II ref 116710LN (SRP $63,200) Black Bezel black dial with green second hand in 2009, that was the first Rolex Watch made with ceramic bezel insert.
This great invention was highly appreciated by the Rolex Fans and lovers as the bezel is likely stay the same condition for the next few decades. This was walk we called “Green Pointer”.
This is still in production.
Rolex continued to research to create that a new colour combination to add half of the bezel with Blue. So this is the GMT Master Blue Black Ref 116710BLNR (SRP $67,300) so this was justified to add $4,100 on SRP over the green Pointer with blue colour, not long later people started to call this “Batman”
In 2014 I used to get it at AD with less 5% discount , well, 2015 has been quiet for a while, because Rolex created another expensive Hi End GMT Master in White Gold, Ref 116719BLRO SRP $297,900 the Pepsi with Cherry Red and Blue.
Which is I think very beautiful, and is very heavy too. I know that not so many units were sold because people is speculating Rolex will issue a steel version of Pepsi at a lower price in next year or two. I have seen a PAL Pilot using it…
So 2016-1017 is Batman best selling period as they have no more new rival of new colour creature created by Rolex bezel Designer.
Price of Batman was going up from $67,300 in end 2016, to up to $71,000 in beginning of 2018.
In Feb 2018, Batman price reached $78,000, in March, then went up to $80,000, In April and May it shot up to $82,000. Now Batman market price is $88,000 to $90000.
Closely chasing the Crazy Hulk $97,000! I think it may shoot up to $90,000 because I have a lot of friends asking this watches In the last two weeks.
This game isn’t over yet. In BaselWorld, Rolex was able to offer a totally new Pepsi in Steel, or even in Jubilee bracelet, remember in the 60’s the GMT 1675 was offered with Jubilee and Oyster Bracelet. Now this 2018 Pepsi Ref 126710BLRO at SRP $71,800, well, this is only watch that comes with Jubilee bracelet!
Many watch Critics says that is one of the “ugly” Rolex Watches made with Jubilee, and many people include of my good friend says “it is corny” “ it is a “Mixed blood” of Date Just and a Traditional Rolex Sport watch and he will never buy it…or use it…
The fact is, it is a new Pepsi, it is Jubilee of a retro type of that used to have 50 years ago. And it is steel, Don’t worry, new movement, many people will craze for buying this… Why as the White Gold Pepsi is having a SRP $297,900 , this is steel Pepsi is just 24% in price of White gold. Why not?
But once it landed HK in June, Oh, the Dealer was asking $168,000, in end June it was falling to a reasonable level of Unreasonable High $140,000 to $149,000. And the supply is so little, So many people will keep an eye watching for the net price drop… even during the Sino-US price war people, HS index dropped from 32,000 to 28350 points… but the Pepsi Jubilee price is solid as rock standing still at HK$145,000.
Why!? Because of the Rolex limited supply and because of the tempting Cherry Red blue bezel.
I believe the Pepsi Jubilee will be one of the latest hot items for all Rolex Fans.
Well, at same time Tudor, the younger brother of Rolex made a new GMT Pepsi Ref 79830RB with 72060 Rivet bracelet with 41mm with No Cyclops. That was supposed to be selling at $29,800. But immediately market search for it and short it price up to $39,000 or more.
So there are three Pepsi Musketeers:
1, The White Gold Pepsi ref 116719BLRO SRP $297,900 market price is about $250,000 hard to find!
2. The Rolex Pepsi in Jubilee Ref 126710BLRO SRP $71,800 Market price $149,000 , damn hard to get it.
3. The Little Brother Tudor Pepsi SRP $29,800 market price $38,000, easier to get comparing with the two big brothers.
What is your choice if you want to get a GMT Master?

The Tudor Harrods
Bucherer is one of the oldest watch retail In Switzerland.
To celebrate 130 yearra birthday in 2018, they created a few Theme of release with “Blue” as the theme.
The Paneria PAM694 45mm with beautiful blue dial and blue crocodile strap.
The Blue Editions with Tudor partnership is the Heritage Black Bay Bronze Blue. And it's exactly what it sounds like.
Technically speaking, everything about this watch is identical to the original Heritage Black Bay Bronze that launched back in 2016.
It's still a 43mm dive watch with a special bronze case that houses the Tudor MT5601, which is a chronometer-certified, in-house movement with a silicon balance.
We get both a blue dial and a blue disc here.
The contrast with the bronze itself is high. And the watch really pops in the images.
To complement the new color scheme, there's also a new blue and gold fabric strap with bronze hardware too. On the reverse, you'll find a special engraving commemorating Bucherer's 130th anniversary in 2018.
Here are a few more photos, showing off the details on the latest iteration of Black Bay for now.
The Tudor Black Bay Bronze Blue is available from today, exclusively through Bucherer. It is priced at 3,800 CHF, which is the same as the standard Black Bay Bronze. For more, visit Bucherer online.

Daytona Zenith appreciate 9 times in value over the 18 years
一隻地通娜手錶的價值十八年漲了九倍
What is the best investment regarding riskless over the past 18 years?
I cannot say it is not Rolex!
This is an example .
A Daytona zenith Ref 16520 was sold at SRP $63,000 well I am sure you could get a discount of ten that was $56,700!
After 18 years that is today.
You can sell it at HK$4500,000 to HK$520,000 of course your watch should be in mint condition full set!
That is 9 times the price you bought!
What is next?
Well I am looking good at some of the rare species such as DD with Special dial, special dial GMT or Submariner.
But these are already rare. So by now I keep some of these in my safe
Submariner Kermit 16610LV full set
HULK NOS 116610LV
Batman 116710BLNR
GMT PEPSI 116710BLRO
I rather put Daytona aside coz it is already untouchable now, but if you have I should pay a Salute to you
This is purely My idea only!
What do you think?
