撥慢一秒

香港天文台今日提醒巿民,協調世界時將在香港時間二零一五年七月一日上午七時五十九分五十九秒和八時零分零秒之間加上一閏秒。由於香港標準時間為協調世界時加八小時,因此香港標準時間亦會同時撥慢一秒。

天文台建議資訊科技、電訊、運輸、金融業界等持份者及操作者審視其所管理的系統能否正確處理閏秒,並在有需要時考慮測試及調整系統,以確保在加入閏秒期間及之後仍能正常運作。

協調世界時是以原子鐘內的原子振動頻率為依據的時間標準,是十分穩定而且均勻的時標,亦是現時國際所採用的民用時間標準。

根據地球自轉而釐定的天文時標是另一常用時標。由於大氣運動及其他的地球物理現象,地球的自轉速度並不平均,並逐漸減慢,現時以天文時標定義的一秒比標準的原子鐘時間的一秒稍長,因此每隔數年便有需要引進閏秒,使天文時標和協調世界時之間的差距保持少於0.9秒。

市民可參考以下網址,以獲取更多有關閏秒的資料:

正正此時此刻香港特區在灣仔七一回歸纪念日升旗儀式
進行中……希望香港更加繁榮、少一些政治爭抝。人人有樓住,有民主,有工開,有錢花,有尊嚴,有撈戴……

Rolex Service Centre Makati, Philippines.







This is Rolex Service Centre in the Philippines.

Pictures were taken by my MI6 007 special agent Jacky Kong, sorry I cannot disclose his real identiy or the
RVC security guard will track him. As it is "Bawal" to take Pictures at Rolex Service Centre even you are sitting at the waiting area~~!

Even in the Rolex AD, you are not supposed to take picture on the Rolex on your wrist.


However Jacky found that he was receiving good courtesy service there.

He bought his watch with scratched bezel there for repair.

Even it is still under warranty, Rolex may have to charge him as Rolex can provide warrany on the movement but not scratches or damages on casing due to accident....beware

Majority is Rolex, AP, PP VC, Cartier, RM, IWC, JLC, Panerai, there are about 10 Money counting machine,
One thing I like it is there are really good people who open their watch to show you whether you buy it or not.
Somewhat negotiation I could see, 5% to 8% off or even more.
