Richard Mille with a Bit Complicated movement but asking a lot!

This is an Example of the Vintage Ref 1803 in Pink Gold, Rolex Day Date 1977
 
 
Come on, counting like this by hand, it may take 1 week for that piles of RMB
 
 
 
 
When we had a meeting with our Top Executives on Annual Sales meeting last week.

I discovered that our Top Executive now is aware what the Cosmetic and outlook could be an essential selling point even for industrial equipment, I mean that they were not buying this concept 5 years ago!

For Industrial product, the major selling point is UPH (unit output per hour), MTBA (mean time between assist) the higher the better, MTBF (mean time between failure) the shorter the better… Yield in percentage, the higher the better of course… COO (cost of ownership) the lower the better…

The colour of the machine has been painted grey for 40 years… and the machine is formed by stacking up square boxes… does not seem to be undergone a refined design on the chassis…I should say it looks UGLY!

Well, look at some of European Equipment design, they are sleek, very ergonomics... colour contrast,

Red Strip across the mid of the body, Round off corners, the Control Panel is moveable freely … or even remote control. Press a button the cover will open automatically, that makes a big difference in the outlook of the equipment..
 
They Look Smarter, smaller, colourful, whereas ours are dull, square, huge, and look clumsy…

Well, I agree what one of the top executives said about one of his story about his wife buying a Hermes… He told her that the material cost of the bag may be just 5% to 10% of the selling price… and he asks why that bag is selling HKD$100,000…
 
His wife says value of the bag is  “I can afford, but you cannot!” that differentiates… the value of a Luxury products.

Well, I think that is one of the selling points of the Luxury product, Mararati, Aston Martin, Omega Elite, Audi, Vass Shoes, Tiffany, Cartier, Montblanc, NSX, Richard Mille, Rolex….
 
They are good stuff, they have heavy R&D on the product, their quality is Superb, they are unique to be an iconic image to tell “Only A few can afford!”…

Brand New in Box Full Set on Sales at Big Discount

 



 








We have stock up for over 150 Rolex now.
Import from Europe, Korea, Japan for those hot models that you normally cannot get in Authorized Dealer, or even have to pay for a premium.

Our price is very competitive and friendly , but in cash as the credit card charge is more or less our nett profit already for Sport model Submariners, GMT Master and SeaDweller....

We sell in bigger volume at low margin to differentiate other gray dealers. Many people asks if I have a shop, not at the moment as rental is sky high in Hong Kong. but who knows the future that we might need to open a watch shop....

I can carry the watch to Philippines at no extra cost, other than local Hong Kong delivery. And I am being recommended by Philippine Watch Club and Singapore Rolex Club members as one of the reliable source for Rolex even for your first Rolex.

How To do Polishing on your Day Date?


Tool

The watch before polishing 

Cut the Polish Paper to the width of the side section and Pull the Paper to make the brushed Surface


After Polishing...the white gold cross was used for 
5 minutes practice  before the Day Date

After Polishing, picture taken at night 

This give you a better picture on how it look after 
polishing this morning 



I am not perfectionist, but I don't like my watch is having too much scratches…

Sometime even though you care so much on your Gold Rolex… someone on the road wearing a massive iron watch like a hammer would hit on your Rolex… Oh, no surprise to see a hair line scratches on your Oyster body… Oyster Body is Strong, but it is made of 18KT gold… softer than that Hammer

Will you send it to Rolex to do Polishing…?


I don't. as I do it myself..

Tools a hand held polishing motor, some of the polishing head for making mirror surface… a tube of German Autosol metal Polish… a piece of 1200CW Silicon Carbide Watch proof Polish paper…

A mini vice … that is it…

Procedure

1.  Remove the gold bracelet from the     Watch.


2.  Start using the Polishing Mop to polish the shining surface of the bracelet… unit you can see mirror surface with the Autosol.



3. Cut the thin strip of Polishing paper with the same width of the Semi-circular brushed surface of the bracelet, and lightly press with one finger and use other hand to pull lightly along the direction of the bracelet,.. and make it same for every link of the bracelet…


4. Note that the width of the semi-circular link is smaller at the buckle side of the bracelet, you have to cut the exact width of the polishing paper to fit it..


5.  Using the Polishing mop to polish the watch body, on the mirror surface area.


6.  Lock up the Crown and watch with light detergent under warm water to remove excess dirt, metal polish and dry it on tissue paper…


You Will surprise to see your Rolex is like new the edge remains sharp, shinning new Rolex

….it is fun if you like doing this mechanic stuff..

Warning, if you are not too sure if you can do it… Don't Do it or it will become a Polex!

In such a case, send to Rolex Service Centre…let the expert does it for you.

PS use Cape Cod for minor scratches
