WIS and RPR

Learnt from Suzanne Wong of Revolution Asia Magazine the terms WIS (Watch idiot Savant)

Yes, I am a Watch idiot but not a watch savant! There are a lot of watch savants in the world.

However, I think "WIS" is a nice term to describe those people who love watches...

Friend of mine talked to me his friend has a lot of Rolex, probbaly 30 Piecs of White Gold 1803 of different colour, I think he can join this RPR, Rolex Passion Report club!

You may feel the same as me to open my eyes to see so many good stuff they have!

Hey, does not matter, there is always a higher mountain, there is always a Richer people, there is always having people who has 5,000 Rolexes...It is odorous to compare!

Sometimes it is a pleasure to see how many good stuff someone has. From there the more I learn, the more I feel I know nothing. More watch one has, more humble he behaves as he knows there is a lot of big mountains in this world.

Have Fun on what you have!

Date Just or Daytona? Black or White?

Recently I was addicted some of the Dutch, Japanese Danish egg, they are all labeled organic farm egg I don't their Chemical construction, but the colour of the yolk is different.

Reddish orange is the Danish whilst the other ordinary egg is yellow. The taste is also different, the egg white seems chewable, the yolk tasted stronger and the the favour of the yolk is complicated as those 30 years Po Er tea or the Chateau Angelus 1989!

As for Rolex Dial, there is always a tendency of change of colour over the years, say after 20-40 years.

When the so called “White” would becoming creamy beige!

A creamy dial is a few times more expensive than the white one, Well, there might be reason why the colour has changed from white to Creamy? The formula of the creamy luminous paint of Submariner , the aging effect of the ultra violet and heat over the year, it changes colour of the dial, from snow white transition, creamy, yellow patina, tobacco patina… more even more intense of the colour, Likely to be more expensive!

Because of the value of it, more and more fake patina colour dial in the market by some of the genius who applies colouring,  accelerated aging method under some chemical and ultra violet light. This kind of watch dial may not last as the original Rolex Dial.

It takes a lot of experience to tell if that is original natural aging or not, I am not good at this, but I am trying to learn from some of the expert, but for certain uncertain dial, I rather stay away from it…

Side Track

Most of the people like to go Daytona Black rather than White, well, because of the very small number of Black released from Rolex.

The price of Rolex Daytona Ref 116520 Black is HKD$98,000 and White is HKD$90,000.

If I were asked to buy Daytona Stainless steel again, I would rather take the white one for reasons:

1. Cheaper

2. Availablility in Rolex AD

3. Clearer to read the time, ( I use it)

4. More Chance to have the White Dial to change to creamy (really) after 20 years,

Someone said no as the new Rolex dial painting technology has been improved,

Well, Who know what will happen after 20 years.

Kung Fu Mister 

I always have a Dream!

Do you have a Dream?

I do, no matter what sometimes I wish I could had my dreams come true.

When I was young I planned to be a See Fu of Kung Fu, I was amazed with Bruce lee’s kicks that come and go…in fraction of a Second faster than any camera could catch.

I remember he made a demonstration he kicked the iconic lamp on top of his head where he stood!

I tried to follow, practice, and I could kick at a height of 7', I was 5’ 3” only, Well, I made it., but that is not the real kung Fu… the Kung Fu dream lives on…

Back to 1985, when I met my first beloved wife who was to pretty and kind…. I married her after 7 days we met and I stayed with her for two years in Thailand…. Doing nothing, just Kung Fu practice… I was criticized as “Tsee Sinn” Crazy by my friend who knew me…

Well, up to this moment, that two years could  ikely the best time in my life…

After a whilst I was “Tsee Sinn” on Watches… this is not just Crazy, but it is like ghost that possesses me sincce 80s’;  and  I always thought That it could be a great happiness If I could have a Rolex Day Date ( or any Rolex in Gold! I got it From Kiu Tai Yu, that was a Bubble back Date Just 14K watch, I paid with HKD$5,000 in 1986. And later on my next dream of watch is AP, what if I could buy one… I got it later on…

But when I get older, those watches to me is not too meaningful after I own a few piece of watch , a Rolex… as Rolex was my first  Ghost came into my heart!

Well, I have owned a few pieces of Rolex once in a whilst, I upgraded it by selling and buying… somehow it was great fun was I EARNED some money after I sold it… Somehow this kind of dream made me get into real crazy….

One the other hand, I miss a few good occasions to get some of the POTENTIAL watches, but due to my limited RESOUCES (money), I had REGRET,.. many people know me I missed at least two of the GOOD Watches… one of them is the Submariner 16613 with Lapis Azuli Dial, at HKD$120,000 . I was sold at auction 6 months later at HKD$730,000..... " &*$^$&#)#&$&:)L"

Now I always tell to my friend, or someone who knows me if you want to buy good watch, these are some of the guide line (my own opinion only)

1.Buy no ME-TOO watches

2.Buy Ugly Watch nowadays ( it may be tomorrow’s beauty, not always, but quite often)

3.Condition, Condition, always go for the best condition

4.Always get the first ONE, the first lot, the first Release…

5.Complete set, unless you are going to use it every day.

6.If you have question, ask your friend, if still there is question; let the fish goes!

7.Wait and Smile!

This is my dream… and I hope one day I can catch a beautiful fish!

Today’s airport I “met” Charlize Theron… I grasped my Note III on an Impulse and make this Picture..

It is also my dream to meet her!
