When Richard Mille Meets Richard Mille






RM11-02
 
 


When we had a meeting with Omega Elite CEO, Asia Pacific sales director and his personal body guard of a Muay Thai master...
and group of friends as the potential interested parties for the Omega Elite Phone at Peninsular Lobby Coffee Shop, there was a parcel sent from Richard Mille to our hotel via Ferrari, that is a Big plastic bag with size of a sack of 50 kg cement!

When it was opened, we could see a big box which contained a smaller box and the small box contained the RM-11!

That is a beautiful watch made by Richard Mille, it is heavy as it is entire block of Rose gold case to house a few hundred parts inside. I love the way they display the Date under a Rectangular box with slant red strip to catch your attention.  The background is White and the data wheel is a black Date mask on a transparent sapphire disk. Good design!

The owner of the watch had had a RM-11-02 with him, and I could see him scrutinizing his new toy RM11 with smile.

He is of course using Omega Elite Phone… He carried the new Watch to tour around Hong Kong…

A tale of two cities




Hong Kong and Singapore bear many similarities in economic structure, reliance on finance and trade, as well as size of territory and population.

Back in 1997, Hong Kong’s gross domestic product stood at US$179 billion, almost two times that of Singapore, but in 2013, Singapore had boosted the figure to US$295.7 billion, surpassing Hong Kong’s US$273.7 billion.

Hong Kong’s or China idea of HKSAR is based on the principle of positive non-interventionism, which gives impetus to the creativity of individuals and the private sector. Singapore is likely the opposite in this regard.

Hong Kong officials and Citizens have to spend most of the time to deal with the complexities in the SAR’s relationship with the Peking government where Singapore is free from the issues of the “one country, two systems” situation. I feel pathetic about HK when members of the pan democratic parties members spend most of their time doing filibuster… nothing is constructive to the development of HK economy.

As I say it may take 7 years to build a new airport but 10 years to decide build or not!?

Hong Kong has been lagging behind Singapore, and Shanghai for economic achievement, or may be after another 10 years Hong Kong will definitely be lagging behind Johor, Shantou or Batam!

How About Watch, Hong Kong and Singapore had a bigger Cult difference on choice of Luxury watches.

Back to 80s Singapore and Hong Kong had similar taste in watch. Nowadays we can say that Singapore has an advance understanding for what new watches are!

For most of the super Hi end watches, Singapore seems has a better sale than Hong Kong.

These are what we can see…

Whiles a lot of HK people are still in favor of brands like Patek, AP, VC, Panerai and Rolex...

Singapore has been falling in love with niche Watch market supported by these colossal Richard Mille, Hublot..and Urwerk.

In Singapore is whoever people goes with a Lambor, 80% of the people wear a RM.

Singapore may become the show off hub for those nearby country rich boys, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei?

Hong Kong, older and richer tends to go for Patek, younger
likes Panerai and the Rolex goes to the rest.

Will Rolex have a Pricing Adjustment in coming days?


On 1st of July, Rolex announced changing its 2 years Warranty to 5 years, I have mentioned this one week in advance.

Well, as my speculation, that Rolex might be introducing marketing plan to promote more sales with more profit.

Don't forget the warranty will incur extra huge operation cost to the whole set up of After Sales support of their watches sold worldwide.

So I speculate that Rolex will do something about their prices on coming days likely on 1st of August, 2015.


HK Snob

PS, there is no price changes Today, lets wait for a while,
or my insider's news is not reliable at all, I will keep an eye on this.

Kim Tae Won and HK Snob







My Rolex Day Date Ref 18039


Kim Tae-won (김태원, April 12, 1965) is a top Korean Guitarist with over 30 years of experience in Korean music industry, currently leading one of the most successful rock bands in Korean music history, Boohwal.

His life was dramatized in a four episode KBS2 short series Rock, Rock, Rock, where Kim was portrayed by musician-actor No Minwoo.

I had a chance talking to him Today in Philippines, I had felt his hand whilst hand shaking that it seems having no bone (very Soft) meaning that he is rich and life if full of joy and happiness.

Well, of coure, like most of the celebrities, he worn a Rolex White Gold Day Date Ref 18049 whilse I worn a Rolex White Gold Day Date Ref 18039.

He told me he is a fan of Rolex Like I, and He has a lot of Rolex.

I am happy as of Today I met a good friend Jerry, and I had a wonderful meeting with a team of Korean customers, I had two separate dinner one in outback that I took One Cloudy bay White and one Australian Red. then went ot A won Korean Restaurant to meet another group of Koreans.

Kim has same name as mine, he has same taste in Watch....


Day Date in White Gold is classified one of the watches for your eveyrday uses, it is not too shinnning like yellow gold, greyish silver colour, heavy but heavy not like a dumb bell that makes your wrist tired.


It is about 145 grams with 22 links of bracelet. Accurate and durable, my last Day Date Ref 18049 brought me profit HKD$12,500 even after I used for 4 years, what a nice watch investment and it is the best  watch for you as an Executive.

I am Waiting my new toy to come.... that Makes Monday like Friday!


Mad Dog Monday




It's Friday Again!


Do you like Monday more or do you like Friday more…?

From Statistics of Yell* University, 90% of the workers like Friday more than Monday, Only Workaholics like Monday, may be some of the Executives after being tortured by his wife at home on week end, it is the right time to revenge putting all anger onto his subordinates Monday ….


As I said, Boss always gets and gets and forgets, only working class like us give and give and forgive….


I hate Monday as most of the meeting are done on the same day, seeing the dark face of the boss…

Well, you might see him smiling to you one day, I am sure you are secretly being fired by him last Friday or he had won mark Six ( the Later one should not happened as I believe Mark Six should go to finery kind people…)
So beware on Monday morning…So what can we do?


… I am the only manager that wears Rolex, PP, AP, RD to work for many years, as I want to show to you, well, though you get. get all my salary away turning into you own Bonus...

because of my kind tenderly heart, I have a lot friends, who will drink with me…. I would like to giggle that someone always came to the bar alone Friday after work, 

who lighting up his cigarette unintentionally and goes into mediation until the cigarette burns his fingers...!!
As he had no friend…so lonely, pathetic!

My method of making myself looks young is a practice to buy myself a toy after a while, that keeps me HAPPY,

Looks Different all the time, and all the staff is talking about me… all my customers are talking about me… after Rolex DD, AP, Roger Dubuis, VC , may be RM in coming future..
Now, I am waiting for my new toy The Omega Elite Phone in Yellow Gold….
Last, Oh I think I had higher chance to survive in desert as I can use it as a Mirror when I lost in desert…! It is amazing Gold… Who Can resist? 



Lovely Monday!, as Every day is like Friday!

PS * Yale? Are you sure!?
