Comparison Between these Wild Beast of Rolex Daytonas
Rolex Daytona Ref 116500LN white 2016. clearer Layout on Display, this gains appreciation from end users.
Rolex Daytona Ref 116500LN Black 2016
Current Production Rolex Daytona Ref 116520LN Black
Basically the new Daytona 2016 having ceramic Bezel as shown above under Ref 116500 LN is having a sharper and smarter outlook than the old one Ref 116520.
The bezel is made of scratch proof ceramic material and has added feature of a white division bar, making the bezel more outstanding and Overall it looks a bit bigger on the new 2016 Daytona.
Definitely base on the material used on the bezel, the new Daytona is more to be the hot item we are searching for.
Price will be higher than current design by HK$10,000
The new List price is estimated to be HK$100,000
How about the current production Daytona?
Received credible source that the Production of Daytona Ref 116520LN has been stopped!
What is the price of the discontinued model Ref 116520, I don't think that the older model will drop the price but rather stabilizing it at HKD$89,000 to HK$91,000 whilst the production is being less and less.

Truly you need to go for a Trustworthy supplier for you Real Stuff: Rolex
Everyone wants to get the best deal using his money for his
dream watch…
Who told you that Millionaires do not negotiate price?
I have seen Multi-millionaire who used to take bags of the sugar
at airport Lounge back home…He likes negotiation as he told me that is the fun
part.
They wear Giordano Khaki jeans and G-2000 Jacket to work… but
they earn easily USD$3M a years.
Somehow it is not bad to be tire kickers, but beware real
stuff cannot be so CHEAP!
There are many ways that seller can make a product looks
expensive but in fact they are real cheap!
Such as for a Watch… Some used watch could be polished a bit
to become Like new or Claimed to be Brand new.
Don't be feel bad for a watch that has lines of scratches if
that is used watch, it must have scratches.
On the other hand, a 20 years used watch does not have any
scratches.. that means it has been polished…heavily!
I don't mind scratches but I mind being heavily Polished… Unless
that watch is hand polished.. Who will hand polish for you nowadays…?
So next time you buy a used Watch ask…
1.
Is that polished?
2.
Is that a Franken Watch.. a Pinoy who told me he
bought a 10 watches in one shop, not even
one was accepted by Rolex Manila for servicing, because all are genuine Rolex but of wrong misplaced parts or we
called “Frankenwacth” the dial, bezel, hands and bracelets are all Lego-fixed…
3.
So you should talk to them what if you can we refund
or replaced!? Well, Kuen Kee can refund
if that watch is not genuine.. That give you assurance…
Buying a Watch is fun, if you bought a Franken Rolex.. You
will get mad, even you are Millionaires. As your feel like being cheated or being
ripped off!
Always go to a reliable source…. Reputation is the key!

From Cannonrun to Lamborghini Countach, Waterman filigree to Rolex Day Date White Gold 1803.
The story is about a cross-country car race... we could see
Dodge Tradesmans Ambulance, red Farrar 308 GTS, Mercedes Benz 280SEL sedan…
Jackie Chan and Michael Hui race in a high-tech,
computer-laden Subaru GL 4WD hatchback with a rocket booster engine.
Roger Moore drives a silver Aston Martin DB5.
Jill Rivers (Tara Buckman) and Marcie Thatcher (Adrienne
Barbeau), two attractive women who use their looks to their advantage, start
the race in a black Lamborghini Countach. My eye was widely open to see such so
car super car racing and overtaking the Police cars in few seconds!
Jamie Farr portrays an oil-rich Middle-Eastern sheikh,
driving a white Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow.
Jill and Marcie use sex appeal as their weapon, unzipping their
race suits to display copious amounts of cleavage during traffic stops. My eyes opened even wider! However, this fails
to work on a busty female traffic officer played in a cameo appearance by
actress Valerie Perrine.
That was an amazing film, a lot so stars and fabulous cars
of the 70s.
Jeff Ippoliti, a 51-year-old attorney in Celebration, Fla., loved
the Movie, So Bought the Lamborghini.
When "The Cannonball Run" came out in 1981, he fell
in love with the 1979 Lamborghini Countach LP 400S that's in the first scene.
He thought it was the coolest car ever, and he didn't know any kid his age who
didn't have a poster of it on his wall.
12 Exhaust Pipes and CB Antenna
After he bought the car, he immediately put the car in a
2½-year restoration by Lamborghini expert Tony Lerardi. We made it true to the
movie. The 12 exhaust pipes, even the CB antennae—it's all there in exact
detail. Refer to the pictures.
Jeff Ippoliti's Lamborghini Countach LP 400S.
So As I love this Black Countach, but I am afraid I could
not afford buying such a car…
This story started with car end ended with Watch, the first
time I saw a gentleman with silver lines wearing a Watch… It was a Rolex…
I noticed that with an additional Window at the 12’ o’clock position…
Curiosity pushed me to find out more… Oh, that watch was called “Day Date” the flagship of Rolex… That’s why I could recall I saw a lot of Time magazine that carried this watch as an ad.

It is white colour as the man’s choice, he loved Sterling
Silver, he loved Waterman Sterling silver filigree fountain pen. He used to
carry his White Gold Rolex Day Date Ref 1803, and a Waterman Sterling Silver
Filigree fountain pen 452.
Rolex Day Date in White gold Ref 1803, 1977
I was wearing a Rolex Stainless Steel Date Just with White
gold fluted bezel, I told myself whenever I could afford I should get one of
those White Gold Day Date.
You cannot get everything you like for example a 1979 Lamborghini
Countach… but at least I get a Rolex…white gold Day Date one of the best from
Rolex.
The Moral of the story, you cannot get everything in the world,
get something you can afford and it could last… Like a Countach., till now, it
is a Collectible Vintage… Like a White Gold Day Date.. is it very pricy!
Someone criticizes me… It is partly because of me that makes
the price go up! Really!?
May be... as these are all truly Classic!

What a father leave a son?
Courtesy picture WrightMarshall on the Panerai 3636
A Rolex 17 Rubis Movement
How about a watch that
never quite seems to lose its value?
An English
gentleman found a watch when he was clearing what his late father has left him.
It is estimated that the watch was bought by the man’s father around 10 – 20
years ago for 10 pounds. The watch comes without a strap and it does not work
very smoothly during winding. He then tried to auction off his watch and was
informed that the watch sold for 56k pounds.
The watch’s value
literally increased 5,500 times.
What watch is it?
It is a Rolex 17 Rubis Panerai 3636, which was used by frogmen of the Royal
Italian Navy during WWII. The watch was developed by Panerai using a Rolex
movement.
What does this
story tell you?
First, auction is
an amazing thing. It can help you discover the true value of things.
Second, buy
yourself, or your son a watch, be it a Rolex, a Bulova, a Panerai or a Seiko.
It is one of the best things that can keep or even increase its value after
years pass by.
I sometimes doubt
whether these stories are true. However, what is true is that the value of a
good watch never fades. Watches for divers are especially hot. Look at military
Panerai or Comex Rolex.
These watches are for divers and carry a certain kind of
glamor to men. Moreover, these watches are historically important.
How about if your
father does not leave you a Rolex or a Panerai?
Never mind young
man. Not every father can afford a Rolex. But I believe that most fathers want
to make sure that his sons can. Do not blame your father if he leaves you a 1k
HKD Seiko. Instead, wear it with pride because its value cannot be counted by
any calculator.

A diver is meant to dive, so as the diver Watch!?
We all treasure our
Rolex watches. They are expensive and precious. They represent our hard work
and they are a symbol of status. Seldom do we put our Rolex in dangerous
situations. The Rolex Submariner is an icon of modern Rolex. It is 300m
water-resistant. But of course wearers do not really dive with it. Some people
may wash it with water but that is probably the most “dangerous” situation it
may face.
So, how about
leaving your Rolex in the sea for 14 months? Do you dare even thinking about
it? Do you expect the watch still works?
The story goes like
this.
A gentleman went
fishing in British Colombia while the bracelet of his Rolex two-tone Submariner
was somehow snagged on his fishing rod (I don’t know how he did that). The
Submariner flew into the sea and quickly disappeared. As the gentleman knew the
watch must be somewhere within the area he fished, he located the area with GPS
(Prompt action it is! We normally just panic!). Later, he paid local dredging
85USD per hour in the hope of finding the watch somewhere. **
After 14 months,
the watch was found in the middle of debris and sediments at the depth of about
100m. After some winding, the watch still worked!
We can learn a few
things from this story.
First, a Rolex is
usually very tough. So, if you have ever scratched your watch and yelled for a
polish, stop and wear your watch like a hero because a Rolex is meant to be
scratched, especially a diver.
Second, Rolex
sports watches are true tool watches. They can withstand extreme situations. If
you think your bracelet is too loose or too tight and go to RSC requesting for
a change or repair, you should never do it again. Wear your watch happily.
Picking on Rolex’s quality is an easy thing to do while making a diver that
still works after 14 months in the sea is hard.
Third, wearing a
Rolex makes you think faster. If it had been a Seiko that had fallen into the
sea, the gentleman would not have thought of the idea of locating the area with
GPS and recording it.
Fourth, Always remember
to tighten the crown properly with a push, hold and align the thread by anticlockwise
say 90 degree and then clockwise to tighten up. This preserves the misalignment
and cause damage on to the screw thread.
A diver is meant to
dive. It is not meant to be worn in showers where some may worry that the watch
will be damaged by water vapor. Go for a Day Date if you wear a suit. Haha
Again ; Day Date!
**
I doubt with today
current technology is that so simply to find a watch in the sea?
Is GPS can be
located a watch of size of an egg in the sea bed?
The GPS signal in
space will provide a "worst case" pseudo-range accuracy of 7.8 meters
at a 95% confidence level. (This is not the same as user accuracy; pseudo-range
is the distance from a GPS satellite to a receiver.). Now the things is in the
sea, should be more complicated…
Why MH307 is not
found?

Tribute to Rolex Day Date ref 18039 and 18049
My Day Date 18039 and Kim Tae Won's 18049
My Rolex Day Date 18049
HK Snob, Kim Tae Won and DH Lim
I never feel imperfect about my Day Date White Gold watch.
It is a great watch under all weather.
It is dependable and it has the maximum function that I need for work and minimum function that could keep the watch simple and tough.
The pearl grey colour of white gold is like Monica Belucci lying at the Sicilian beach... and once in a while it turns herself into Charming Kim Kardashian at Beverly Hills.
It never lose its lustre, it never lose face to the other luxury watch, Patek, AP, VC, RM, RG, FM, whatever...
It is never too aggressive neither.
It is a watch for successful men and the individuals who live in a low profile way.
