What I expect Rolex will have in 2014!?







一人有一個萝想
如告知某一些戀愛結果會心傷
曾偷快一試何妨....

 
這正好形容我對勞力士新裝錶士舊裝錶的睇法。

  勞力士新錶價錢其實自二零一零十一月到今天都未嘗加過價!有很多人都問他幾時再加價。過往很多時候勞力士都會在農年前後都有價格的動作。

而作年九月出的GMT MasterII REF 116710BLNR藍黑圈。勞力士諚價$65,300,
而同一係列白绿針 ref 116710LN 仍是售$61,200
我想勞力士會在2014年內買完綠針.2015年中可能不再生產錄針。
住後GMT MASTER II, 諚價會鎖定在$65,300 這價位中。再加價作特別論。


DSSD
Deep Sea Sea Dweller ref 116660
這是世界一級專業潛水錶。價$82,500.供求也不多,今年仍然不會有新款面世。

潛水表
Ref116610LV
缘圈绿面基本上生產很少量。大概每個月一隻。價錢,$66,100 。間中有一些有貨九七折現金。
Ref116610LN
生產五年。我相信今年勞力士巴塞應該有新錶亮相。.可能會些少針和圈顏色改變。

Explorer II Ref 216570
42mm
錶型出表二年半。相信今年無變。價格會维持在 $60,500.

DATE JUST
勞力士最暢銷的型号,亦會會繼續發展一些新款。


Daytona
Ref 116520
少數民族黑面亦是高,諚價$87,500 抄價$93,000 到了
$95,000.白面$87,500 係是侯有新款今年出現了·
我想新錶有新錶的玩柴……中古有其中古味氣.是圖是同事义燒譚在首爾機場買到GMT MASTER  II REF116710BLNR、用卡只需要HK$64,000. 已是-個合理價格。


PS
以上主作纯粹個人意見




Rolex has not been having any price adjustment since Nov 2011. Most of the time, Rolex will have it price adjustment around Chinese New Year.
This year up to now, still no news of the price changes :P


Rolex launched the new GMT Master II Ref 116710 BLNR Sept 2013, that carries a higher price of HKD$65,300 whereas it Green Pointer GMT Master II ref 116710LN stays at HKD$61,200.


I think Ref 116710LN will be discontinued by 2015 and the GMT master II ref 116710BLNR will be staying at the price HKD$65,300 if there will be no more price adjustment.


DSSP
Deep Sea Sea Dweller Ref 116660 still world No. 1 professional Diver watch.
Supply and demand is not as big, there will be no new facelift model in 2014.


Submariner
Ref 116610LV Hulk green bezel green dial is under limited production. About one piece per shop per month, price is HKD$66,100. You may get less 3% if you pay cash
Ref 116610LN has been in the market for almost 5 years, I believe that there will be another new model at BaselWorld 2014. May have some colour changes on Pointer and bezel, Will see… Ref 116610LN price stays at HKD$62,100 we may get less 10% with card. Or 12% with Cash!


Explorer II Ref 216570
The new enlarged 42mm watch comparing with ref 26570 has been in the market for 2.5 years, I believe they will stay unchanged in 2014, price stays at HKD$60,500


Datejust
The best seller model., will come up more colour, combination of dial material and pattern in 2014


Daytona
Ref 116520, a minority black is still hottest model to get, List price is $87,500 no matter white or
Black dial. Price for black is $93,000 –$95,000, White is $87,500


I think it is bore to see the black one for too long , it is time for Rolex to launch a facelited model in 2014. A Chocolate colour trim on the dial!?


I think there is fun to have a new Rolex model, but cannot underestimate the fun to have a vintage Classic!


Colleague of mind Cha Siu Tam just Bought a brand new GMT Master II Black Blue at Seoul Air port at price of HKD$64,000 using card!


PS
This is purely my personal opinion only.

港豪和土豪, Kong Ho and Tao Hu


No matter Tao Hu or Kong Ho, the Rolex Day Date should not be fake one. The Yellow Gold Day Date on the right man's is FAKE!  Appeared on TVB series.


港豪和土豪

港豪不乏有才有識之仕,土豪不乏有大财有好色之仕!

  音響
港豪以声收貨
土豪以音響價值高低收貨,三十萬一台麦仔前置,十五萬二條喇吧線呀!聽來聽去都喺幾隻試音天牒!



土豪以五十五萭元買一瓶五十年茅台。比現金、HKIA免稅店女同事數足二十分鐘、成枱人秄好不壯觀矣!
五萬元一瓶拉菲八二溝七喜、

拉菲洒莊莊主暗笑、這可能未來的潮流飲法!港豪一萬五一瓶馬歌六六年加多六千鋸手板大的花膠、王子隔離枱的日本客人跑來問什麼酒禁鬼香嘅?!



手錶
手錶土豪以陀飛輪多少決定錶檔次、當然越多越貴越覺高級, 致於什麼是陀飛撚、哦、Eason的手本名曲嗎?
土豪買勞力士要黄金的Day Date加大粒沙糖、太古荒唐N放得入吾區!港豪會找那些失去的回憶、六十年代的白金ref1803.港豪真的無出色、幾萬元的白勞都玩得禁開心!



對喇、其實玩錶最聚緊要自己玩得閞心、行家見了起色心嗎!


What is the difference between Tao Hu and Kong Ho!?



=内斂
土豪=財大氣粗?



PS
Who do you prefer to be? Tao Hu or Kong Ho!?

Rolex Crown Logo and Rolex Watch




Since middle ages, Crown was often only used for the coronation of a monarch and a few other ceremonial occasions, though the monarch may also be often shown wearing them in portraits, as they symbolize the power and continuity of the monarchy.

The Crown symbolizes highest power of Administration over the Country, only been worn by the King. As a watch, Rolex has gained an international recognition for its superb quality, reliability, value. It is an icon of World’s most famous Luxury watch.

Rolex original idea is to put a “Hand” or “Palm” as an implication of hand-made watch in the early days of the company. 
Later on, they changed into a “Crown” shape logo of the watch brand starting from a flatter proportion version and later on Solidified as the current design at 60s.

新年Rolex 888隨想







新年Rolex 888隨想

很快已是大年初一。同以住一樣,到處都是人潮。
除外出避年的幾十萬人,還有幾百人萬留港消費。

今天最多勞力士露面。最多是DATE JUST 
型号。因為年初一拜年最佳"晒勞"時機喇!

一早。用沙田柚葉洗過澡,喝了一碗花膠,打算出外面跑跑。帶什表好?想了一輪。帶隻豪爵萬年曆好了。貪它夠大隻,四兩金!。



還記得看過六十年代粤話語片, 好似係"兩儍走天涯",新馬仔講過,"有食無食;全靠滴滴!"


想當年一隻手好鬼重要,時至今日,男士手上那隻亦顯重要。


以往打工仔出左年尾花紅,好多時買娛己,自從二零七年我每年都買勞力士,最多一年買過五隻。

自一零年公司生意下滑,正一黃小二過年,花紅一年少X過一年。我己兩年無買勞力士了。每以見到阿Paul D好嘢,只有拿出口水堅!

我安慰自己,每年交税一年少過一年!


哈! 講起交税,如果人家問你幾時交税,我就吾會話比人知。
我老板都係一月一号交的。通常年薪一千萬都係一号交喎。二号到三号都係一百萬到五百萬果堆人囉! 即越遲收入越少!


新年買勞記得買行貨,為什麽呢? 因為行貨Country Code 888.

幾好意頭,我會再揀隻日日快3秒的,嘩,帶住隻888 日日"生"的勞、夠勁未?



未夠? 買隻DD 118238喇!


未夠? 買隻118388好未?

手腕大一些的,買隻DD II 218238囉。好意頭呀!


喺找阿蟲介紹攞個八八折。夠好意頭未?

末夠?


找方向店舖找隻Serial Number 最尾四數字8888的....吾夠?

揀隻每天快8秒嗰囉。不過而家D勞力士品質好好,每日快8秒的已是算次貨不能出廠囉!



Rolex Day Date II 42mm Ref 218238 List Price $248,100



勞力士218238  888 8888 88 3....祝大家馬年發發發發發發發發發發發!!

Beautiful HKIA Watch ADs









Above Pictures were taken by me at HKIA Arrival Hall by Samsung Notre III on 29 Jan 2014


I used to appreciate the advertisement, as I think that is a kind of Art, original idea and creation is the key. As well the technical achievement could attract some of us when you passing by in airport, as a matter of fact, who is not running to the customs and immigration whenever you landed, how could you stop and look at that like that is a Mona Lisa at Louvre Museum.

Every week I fly via HKIA and I have seen many pretty Advertisements.
I believe they have million dollar investment on the propaganda campaigns.

From these few years watching these ads. I have noticed that these are the new emerging brands
Roger Dubuis, Blancpain, Breguet, Hulblot, Zenith and Nardin…
Of course Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Rado, Tissot, JRC, Piaget, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin is everywhere.
I like these new Blancpain watch Ads, look at them.

Three Survival kits for the Hong Kong Mobster in 80s! 八十年代救急三寳





八十年代救急三寳:勞力士,都彭和蒙特嬌。這都是當年古惑仔必被的。
原因勞力士好值錢、上當舖收致少五折、好多時果D大佬過大海必備金勞一隻……重係最""果款……金面金針金字連幾多點鐘都差吾多睇吾到果隻!……
重有一定見吾到白面勞力士……
原因賭仔古惑仔都相信帶金勞會"琴撈"……白面劳力士即"白捞"

古惑仔另一方面怕人地講佢地無文化、所收以好多都中意插支法國都彭金沙漢漆原子筆在果件成千元的法國夢特嬌T裇……再加一個打開會發出头""一聲的都彭上火機!

點解用這牌子夢特嬌?我估因為第一、不用熨、吾太失禮、出汗吾黏身啩。
最近看周潤發的早期電影"賭神"。除了周潤發之外、差不多位位都帶金勞……
都係不外三個原因,
第一、勞力士耐用、出去摰友時刀都斬吾入、第二、勞力士等同即時現金、第三、金勞金燦燦夠照呵!

九十年代勞力士嘗试一洗鉛華,廣告大多集中在運動手表上。對! 八十年代絕對是Day Date 天下,直到九十年代運動款和金表才一同平分春色。
到昨年巴素表展才出現睇落比較年青加活力的皮帶 勞力士Day Date !

As Chinese Says, "Gold is always Gold, it has to be “Gold” to be Gold!", A recent AP RO court case!


 Swiss Legend Trimix Diver Chrono Black watch


Audemars Piguet Awarded $9.8 Million in Damages by New York Court
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled that Audemars Piguet has valid trademark rights in its Royal Oak watch design, that such rights were infringed by the sale of Swiss Watch International’s Swiss Legend Trimix Diver watches. The Court also determined that Swiss Watch International engaged in an act of unfair competition.
The Court awarded the full amount of Swiss Watch International’s profits and trebled them for bad-faith conduct, meaning Audemars Piguet will receive $9.8 million in damages. Audemars Piguet will also be allowed to apply for an award of its attorney’s fees and costs of the suit. Finally, the Court entered an injunction forbidding Swiss Watch International from further sale of the infringing watch products.
François-Henry Bennahmias, CEO of Audemars Piguet, commented, “The Royal Oak was the first of its kind. 42 years later, it remains unmatched amongst prestige sport watches. This is only the beginning of an authentic icon that is making an indelible imprint on the history of modern watchmaking. Thus, we are fully committed to enforcing our rights in the Royal Oak design and insist our trademarks be fully respected. We owe it to Audemars Piguet, and the founders’ families.”
Original article was written on JANUARY 13, 2014  |  BY VALERIE JACK.
The moral of this article is:-
Don’t ignore the Big Four: PP AP VC and Rolex, they could sue you to hell if you copy their design and make a sale.
This is a case of Trade mark right infringement, not copying the watch at all, so there have been a long way in court.

I believe the Swiss Watch International’s Swiss Legend Trimix Diver watches was not in purpose to copy the design, may be just borrowing some of the idea only.

As I see there is a lot of un-similarity in the design. But the richer always have a better position in Court to win!

AP senior official should make a visit to ShenZehn Lo Wo Commercial centre, they will be surprise how exactly their replica was being made by COPYING.

We should not encourage to buy, wear the copy watches, as US and Swiss may not allow you to enter their country if they find you carry fake watch.

Another big reason for me to go for Gold Watch is it is having much higher cost to make Copies…. You can see 99% of copy-watch are stainless steel one… as Chinese Says, "Gold is always Gold, it has to be “Gold” to be Gold!"

Start to Search for the first 100 Pieces of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 39mm Jumbo.


An interesting article about more first AP RO Jumbo


Love to see this DAP 1977 AP RO


A 1970s Royal Oak Owned By Venezuelan President Carlos Andres Perez AND Signed By Bulgari: This Is A Special One






This is No. 68, a WF Friend sent his watch picture to me



No. 64

This is No. 64, I picked up at Ebay , watch sold but no price was mentioned



Can We find out the location of all the first 100 Pieces of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 18KT solid Gold 39mm Jumbo!?
This is an AP RO 1972 with S/N. 68, Mine is S/N. 7X.
Well they can be said built under the same batch of ten!

Amazingly this watch owner is also a AP RO Fan like I, when he comes HK, we shall meet and take pictures with two watches placed together side by side and show you.

This watch has been cleaned believed as the 8 screws on bezel has been randomly positioned. But this is just very small issues to the Audemars Piguet Watchsmith!

This watch owner bought it with USD$20,000!
I am waiting the chance to meet this watch Owner!! 
Could I start a facebook to search the rest 98 pieces?

Good idea? If you have this watch please try to send me picture and make a collection of this!

Or to establish a First 100 Pices APRO FAN CLUB.

I speculate that by time 2022, this watch will have its 50th anniversay, where we could get a high auction price of USD$80,000 for a excellent condition APRO 39mm Jumbo.

it is time to buy when you have spotted a good one in the market, help to send me pictures of yours if you have One...

Another lousy part of it, my "wife" had hijacked mine and keep it in her safe deposit box!  As sooner she read my blog, sooner she know the price...!  : (
please see that the Serial number is 151 with 1977, this watch was opened to market in 1972, I believe that they are really made in very smaller number, Might be just 30 Pieces a year, so these are the asisgned Serial Number, well, may be when the popularity was becoming higher, the number of unit will be more...

So I think that the number of Stainless steel is more than the number of Gold as the intention of creating this watch is to going into an image of SPORT. And I have seen three stainless steel verison in the pre-owned market for the past 6 years in HK but just one in 18KT gold.


1972 S/N 000-030
1973 S/N 031-060
1974 S/N 061-090
1975 S/N 091-120
1976 S/N 121-150
1977 S/N 151-180
1978 S/N ??
This is purely my guess and if you have a better information, pls share with me
