Rolex Day Date 1803 in Stella Dial.

 

 

In the 1970’s, Rolex made a series of colored dials with a multi-layered lacquer coat. Referred to as

Stella dials, they can give the impression of porcelain and there is a certain translucency about them.

There were red, turquoise, green, yellow, purple…

This is the green … on Ref 1803 Day Date in white gold. 

It is a Collectible item.

Market Value is about HKD$130,000 to 170,000 in Excellent Condition…

Watch price in the coming Quarter

US economy is Strong

GDP 2015 2.4% from a forecast of 2.5%

Unemployment Rate 5%, best since the past 7.5 years

Per hour min., Wages increased $0.5 

Excellent Auto sales record

99 Exchange Rate Index, going up to 100- strongest US Dollar.

China Economy is slowing down

GDP 2015 6.8%, 2016 6.5% forecast

Oct drops 6% Export and 18% on import

Having 61.4B Surplus on import export

BOC interests rate reduces not enough drive for Stock market Boost

Oct. Reduced Iron Ore 12.3%, will affect Australian Dollar performance

Sign of weak internal Consumption and export…

These are the data we have to tell the two world largest economic automotive is slowing down…This affect the luxury watch sales in HK, hi end watch sales dropped more than 40% in this years. A lot of sales has lost their commission which is the major portion of their income in HK. Many Boutiques haven been close at Causeway Bay shopping hub.

This is Daytona Watch whole selling price of a major Dubai importer…on his IG.

2007 $84,000

2011  $96,000

2012 $93,000

2014 $88,000

2015 $84,000

Well, he is talking about Ref 116520 Black. , however don't forget he is big importer, and he has no box provided. The price is good if you can buy direct from Him. But No many people can get from him as he is selling fast and in volume…

I am trying to say that the watch price has been soft, and the high US Dollars (HKD) will definitely make the offer not too attractively especially to neighbor countries like Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines…

Singapore was top one buyer for me in the past three years, and there is no one  in this year….

Because Singapore watch dealer is offering good price , especially for those who can get rid of the 7% GST…that will be comparable to price of HK.

We don't know what will be the price for 2016. And I believe that it would be more or less the same.

However one point we need to think about it, if you really need a Daytona, if yes,… it is time to buy as it is LOWEST ever…

If not then forget about it… go for a Date Just or a Simple G Shock.

Happy Single Day 11.11.

11.11. represents four stick… in Chinese says, “Guanggun Jie” , Single, bachelor’s day is today.

Today is a holiday in China, probably no, but Today is definitely the days for the singles and it’s been a huge deal in China. It’s called Singles Day and it’s basically anti-Valentine’s Day. For all those who believe V-Day is a holiday made up by card companies to sell millions of greeting cards this year – you’ll be interested in Singles Day.

Singles Day, or Guanggun Jie in Chinese, was founded by a group of college kids in 1993, inspired by the imagery of “11.11”, since guanggun translates to “lone stick”.  Well, stick could possible related to the male genital in shape, four of them could be a big deal!?

 It started off as a “Bachelors Day”, but the day of being single and partying with other single friends spread to females as well. But in 2009, Alibaba, e-commerce company that owns sites like their own version of eBay, were all like, ‘Hey, let’s start marketing to these lonely single people on Singles Day and push them to splurge on one-day sales’.

No matter what, we wish the stick could find a right matching hole and lock it up tightly…

And The Hole could possible find a solid stick that could go in freely and smoothly…if not smooth may have sentimental barrier!? Who knows? And I hope there is no stick fight tonight at Lan Kwai Fong!   LOL…

For those who does not want to find hole or hole being found by stick.. go to buy a gift for yourself, that could possibly the most easiest way to make yourself HAPPY.

My most Adorable Rolex Day Date

An attractive Rolex, Oyster Perpetual, Day-Date with an coral-red lacquered dial with applied yellow gold bâton indexes on the right, and the Malachite dial of the bark bezel Day Date. Some even made with Coral for the dial.

These are rare and it is not cheap at all, however, when you buy it make sure the shop is reliable and the dial is free from any hairline crack.

I had just been traveling USA in the past 7 days....

Flying HK to JFK- Boston, Dallas, Phoenix, LA, then HK
Total flying time about 39 Hours.,
I waited my US colleague at Air port about 14 hours adding up...

Travelling on cars about 14 hours.

Sleeping time total about 15 hours...for the past 7 days.

Well, the purpose of the visit is to sell my company product to US customers.

Just visited 2 customers, and total meeting time is about 2 hours...

In conclusion I should say this is a very exhausting stupid trip, nevertheless,  I think I earned a lot of Mileage... LOL! haha 

Well, during the 14 hour flight LAX to HKG, I spent time talking to a couple about life, money, children, philosophy and I should thank them sharing their experience in running business, dealing with people and their precious experience on how making a happy family.

I also spent time doing the about graphics, I extracted the pictures from my Hand phone and doing cut and pasted the Rolex that I like...It was great fun...you know after ten hours finishing your favourite movies...
what else could you do if you cannot sleep?

Just one thing in my mind... Rolex is always on my mind...
