Super Rare Rolex Daytona Ref 16528 on Sale




Another Watch Wonder that I wander buy of not!?

Under this economic situation that one can create a Trade breaker if the share price drop more than 5%! Is that some kind of manual manipulation on the free trade market?

My Company share drops again $0.6 according today. What is the year end bonus mean to me now?

Every day we can see my money is being evaporated by this unhealthy economic erosion!

Someone has to let go some of his collection to trade for some hard cash…

What is the best collectable Watch of Rolex in the last 25 years? Yes, that is the Daytona…

This Model 16528 is getting hot now…

Especial the one with these features will be the holy grail on all auctions:

A Rolex Daytona Ref 16528 with 18KT solid gold embedded with the Renowned Zenith El Primero that has a heart beat of 36,000 per hour, ensuring you accurate time keeping.

On this Black Dial, the word “Cosmography” is floating, or suspended versus a regular dial where the word “Cosmography” is vertical aligned along with the lines of text above it.

The word “Daytona’ on this dial is more vivid red that ordinary 16528 model.

The bezel is a collectible one as its scale begins with 200 UPH instead of 400! (UPH stands for Unit per hours)

Also the number “6” on the centre dial is “Inverted!

These feature will ensure people go HBP when they see this in any auction…  (High blood pressure above 160!)

This is an Authentic watch that we will show you picture by tomorrow…

It comes with a Wooden Box and the watch Catalogue… no paper…

POA… Whatsapp me if you are interested…  it is also the lowest price you cannot get elsewhere…

Why?…. I told you already in the beginning of the message.
 
 
Reference.
A Similar Stainless steel Daytona with similar feature as for your reference.

PS , the above watch was sold at 1700 Today.

How can you resist this Beautiful Rolex Date Just?

 
 
The best known gemstone for Rolex Dial are the green tourmaline and the pink or red rubellite.
 
 
Rubellite is a particularly beautiful gemstone from the colourful family of the tourmalines.

However, a woman who is truly aware of the extravagance and beauty of the rubellite will derive a great deal of pleasure from it.

Fortunately, nature has created the rubellite in many colour nuances, so that every woman can select the right rubellite for her type.

Many gemstones change their colour depending on the light source. A true rubellite does not . It shines just as intensely in artificial light as it does in daylight.
 
Rolex seldom makes watch using Rubellite as they were in the 80s; This is the one we can see at One of the Rolex AD Shops in HK.
 
Look, how could you resist this kind of gem dial!?
 
 
Ref 179171 Rube MSRP HKD$95,500

After Day Date, What else!?




 
 
Someone asks me after Day Date, what Rolex you like?
 
TBH, I have no hesitation to say GMT Master, if you can get a Vintage Pepsi, Blueberries!
 
If not, then Why not get a GMT Master II stick Dial Mint, or simply go for the latest Blue Black?
 
The early one may be good as a show piece but not for your everyday uses.

Be yourself and be a Style in 2016

Celebrating the new year eve at the train...in Tokyo
 
 
 
Shipping Santa Claus left behind back home in HK at new year eve.
 

I believe that by this time, may people are still drinking or sleeping home...after the New year eve celebration.


Many countries have their own traditions when it comes to welcoming the new year.

The first New York City celebration happened in 1904, nowadays billions watch the Times Square celebration worldwide of the ball drop…

Find out where revelers traditionally eat 12 green grapes at midnight in Spain, throw furniture out the window of South Africa, choose Your Underwear Color Carefully in Latin America. Offer White Flowers to the Goddess of the Living Ocean in Brazil, eat Lentils at Midnight in Chile, celebrate around a New Year’s Tree in Russia, folks jump into 6-degree Celsius water in Lake Constance In Konstanz, Germany, bang Bread Against the Wall in Ireland…

I don't see any tradition in China, we should have as for long History , we don't as I think as tradition, they are more about Lunar new year.

How about Hong Kong…Hundreds of thousand people go to TST area to watch the Fireworks sprung out up sky from Victoria harbor and then go to Lan Kwai Fong or Time Square to celebrate the COUNT DOWN…  How about Singapore!? I don't know, would you tell me?



The Legendary Nokia 8110
 

How about myself, as I have told you I had to buy me new watch if my finance could allow…that is one of the gift I had like to get it too.. But all my family members had not felt about my “need”.

However I felt my Daughter’s need, as her Iphone 6 was badly deformed probably she left under her butt while sleeping.. Her iPhone 6 looks the Nokia 8110!  Whilst all phones are completing on the thickness whereby trade off the structural rigidity…

Last night I went to buy the iphone 6S + in Pink gold for my daughter before the shop would close…

Time has changed, when I bought my TV set back in 1980, we expect to use it for 10 years.

Now… Will you stay with your TV for Ten years? That is one of the reasons why I don't spend much in on this electronic gadget… instead I spend money on this item that will “retain” it value over time…

Watches, Pen, furniture made of ebony, classic Vinyl…. Etc…

Well, in order to welcome the new year’s arrival, we go to do some changes

How does my Rolex look like!?
 
 

Being a Watch Lover myself, as I know I cannot afford, new go polish it to “NEW” That was why I polished my Rolex last night and I am happy to get to get as Pretty as 95% like New a Rolex… I will bring it out to SHOW to member of the HK Watch Fever Hi tea!
 

A GMT Master II Ref 16710
 

For watches, I think the most adorable Rolex is Black Blue GMT Master II, Pepsi is only available in White Gold, so more people is looking for Pepsi 16700, 16710 in the pre-owned.

The best if to get a Ref 16710 with 3186 Cal. stick dial in Mint Full set, guess how much? 

HKD$160,000 I think it is still a good price to keep it as investment item!

 


How about this weird dial GMT Master?
You may be shock as my dealer asks me for 1,000,000 pounds!  OMB!

Times runs by itself and we need to plan in these few days of the new year.

As for my job I have already submitted a 2016 Sales Quota, that is smaller than 2015 as I can see that the industry will not be as good as 2015! Lets’ see and I learn from History that that is no point to put up a high forecast that is un-reachable… Why not be a bit low profile to put a lower quota and we can meet it in this year… as a consequent result… no matter you reach it 130%, 100%, 80%., 50%, you get the same Bonus… ! That is the Sunset industry…you cannot out-perform without innovative products.

If you had an old girlfriend (old does not mean her age, but your relation with her) who curses you every day not able to buy a house, well, it is time to tell her…”Sorry, we need to depart in 2016”

Go find a girl friend who is happy to eat MacDonald Burger with you and live in your parents’ house whilst saving up money for your house… that is Sweet!

I learn that most of the younger people aged between 20-40 are dressing up to please the others.

Whilst people in the age group 40-60 people are dressing up more or less to please himself…

So I can say why not you try to dress always to please yourself.. no matter it is a pair of shoes, hand bag, watches, tie, outfit , jacket… choice of colour,

 
Be yourself and be A Style…  in 2016

I like this message which is the Whatsapp Icon from one of the Dutch Friend
 
 


TBH, I like it

How to Polish my Rolex Bracelet

Separate the watch bracelet

 Mask the area that is not going to be polished, do it section by section
 Clamp the Bracelet on s Plastic surface of the Vise
 Cut strip of the Silicon Carbide polishing paper 1200CW into width of the side section to be policed

Insert the sand paper onto the section of the bracelet and add drops of Jojoba oil and pull both end so of the sand paper lightly and steadily to Polish



Do the same on the snug of the watch, polish at an angle of 45 degrees steadily..
then you can see the fine polishing result...Watch looks like NEW


Friend of mine asked me to talk about on how I polish my Rolex watches ...

You just need a Sand paper of the finest grade, I used
1200CW Silicon Carbide Watch proof Polish paper… (5 Dollars) a few of jojoba oil, if not have use other light clear Lubrication oil,a vise... that is it.

Question is, whether you dare to use your Gold Rolex to try!?
