Don't Lose the case! Watch Case!?
Case 1.
An Eight year old boy is accused of rape.
In court his lady lawyer holds his dick out as evidence
saying, “your Honour see this, can he rape* with this tiny tot? “
The boy whispers, “Don't shake it, we’ll lose the case!”
A high school student claims her wallet has been stolen,
including $50, gift cards, and a few other items.
At which point the defendant
interrupts to say “There was no earpiece there, ma’am.”
The defendant loses his own case in 26 seconds flat.

We need to choose the right battery for your expensive watch, unless you just don't care
and send them to the Service Centre.
Advice:
Always use the specified battery cell model.
Always replace the battery with one of identical size and
characteristics, although the buyer can switch brand names.
Replace he battery once when the watch is stopped or change before the expiry life ends as recommended
by the service manual.
Usually the watch can run from 1.5 years up to 5 years,
depending on the watch design.
As
there is always a risk that the battery will leak if the battery cell is flat. The battery cell may leak and cause damages to the PCB board and the circuitry.
Some like Seiko is still able to keep accurate time when the
battery is getting low, but the second hand begins to jump in 2 second
increments every 2 seconds as a sign the battery needs to be changed. It is
time to change battery.
Digital
watch like Sunnto and G-shock has battery warning indicators… when it alerts
you, you should change the battery cells. I used to change the battery cell myself,
simply because of cost, HKD$10.00 only.
A
Patek Philippe or Cartier watch may take you HKD$2,500 or more to change the battery
cell.
A
Rolex OysterQuartz may take you HKD$7,0500 to change, as usually they will ask
you to service the watch same time to change battery, good news is;" Battery
is Free!" LOL.
If
you have a huge collection of Watch, I recommend you to remove the battery. Someone
still has 4,000 Swatch and it is a huge cost (time) to replace them with
battery.
But
When you go to service your watch at service centre, no surprise that you can
get the Swiss Brands as most of the people think that a Swiss watch should go
right with a Swiss battery cell, right!?
Amongst all brands, I like Maxell all the time for my Rolex, Maxwell is also recommended by most of the HK Watch repair shops.
Never use alkaline battery cells, use Silver Oxide battery cell only.

When you buy Rolex, take note to see the Laser mark Rolex Crown under the Crystal at 6 O'clock position. It may be difficult to see. We suggest you to take a Magnifying glass under a LED light to find it.

Rolexperience
When I was Young, I dreamed of having a Rolex Watch
When I am able to afford, I bought my first Rolex Date Just
When you are old enough like I, I like Rolex Day Date.
Why? I don't know, may be it is not as common as a Date Just
or Submariner.
It is a daily watch for every occasion.
It is gold.
It
is reasonable “cheap” if you know where to buy.

The Lovely Watch Doggy Spark has passed away
I have been trying to write properly but I could not, this is the best I could write already, for Spark!
I had known this dog and she knew me for more than 3 years since I stayed in this hotel.
She is Spark, the K9 dog for the hotel, she was cute, active, lovely, smiling, working hard.
I met her when she was 4, we had numerous nights that I took her walking around the hotel.
She followed and walked. One night, I could not catch her as she saw a big rat at the bush and rush to catch it... She is heavy and overweight likely due to my feeding her every time I saw her..
She liked Apple and in fact she ate Everything I gave her including the Wagru beef I ordered for her...
The GM has promised to give Spark to me and I will keep in one of my colleagues home as Watch Dog and I will keep her forever!
When I arrived the hotel on Tuesday, I felt something unnatural and the Hotel drivers, receptionists tried to avoid eye contact with me...
Oh My god someone had told me Spark passed away already on 4 Oct, right after my birthday, the vet said she had had heart attack...
Spark is one of my friend, man's best friend, I remember her forever! She is now in heaven, smiling and I wish she had an apple a day!
For those who has a dog, you know my feeling!

The Top of the line Rolex you can buy now
When you enter a winery, asking how much the bottle of Chateau
Lafifte 1945, I believe the shop keeper will not expect you would buy it.
Same for people who buys high end Rolex, they seldom buy
from Gray Dealer as who matters the different of 10% of 20% off?
If fact, Gray dealer seldom purchase these high end Rolex at all due to low demand in market as these are Uncommon Rolex.
If fact, Gray dealer seldom purchase these high end Rolex at all due to low demand in market as these are Uncommon Rolex.
Well, to a Real watch collector, the process of looking for
better deal seems to be more joyful than owning the actual watch.
These are some of the most expensive Rolex models in shop of Authorized
dealer.
Special discount applies!
Let me know which one you want to consider.

Rolex AD Sicily
Sicily Rolex AD has more sport models including Submariner Hulk Ref 116610LV and most of the Submariner model... good place for your Rolex Treasure hunting if you go to Italy...
One thing I don't like: they don't put price tag on each of the watches!
HKWF Special Agent "S" visited there 3 days ago.
