Montblanc Moonphase annual Calender Watch






I believe the list price f Montblanc would make you smile whilst sleeping and on the other hand pressurizes those bigger name like Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille and or Vacheron Contantin...

This is a 18KT solid gold annual calendar watch with a beautiful Blue moonphase display,,,, limited to 238 pieces , List Price HK$89,900.


Do you agree what I just said?

The new Zenith 42mm Chronograph made with Black Ceramicized Aluminum Ceramic is launched just today in Hong Kong.

It will be a classic after certain years from now on. There should be no one questions about the movement, as it is the famous El Primero.

Rolex's Supply on their sport models is getting less and less!



This watch was sold to a Gentleman in Makati two days ago.




Since last November, I have notice that the supply of the Sport model namely Submariner, GMT Master , Explorer, Sea Dweller is getting less and less.


I used to get special discount like less 10% for years at Rolex AD, but it was not possible beginning of the year as they not even have stock.


Reason is Rolex wants to maintain a prestige brand image by reducing production bit trying to maintain the price.


So Don't ask me again until further notice to get discounted deal at AD for HK 888 Rolex :
Submariner, Daytona, Deep Sea, GMT Master, Explorer II.


So as the price of the watches.

The attached Submariner Two tone Ref 116613LB was supplied at a price of HK$78,500 to HK and Philippines from me on cash basis . but now it is HK$83,000


As it is really hard to get a price on my hands.


This is some of the gray dealer sale price , as a reference for you


DeepSea D blue Ref 116660 $95,000

Sea Dweller 116600 (discon. ) basically not available


Submariner Hulk Ref 116610LV $70,000


GMT Master II Batman Ref 116710BLNR $69,000


Submariner Date 116610LN $59,000

Price is floating base on supply this is an average figure for your reference only.

Whatsapp me more if you want the update price information and supply status..

Rolex Daytona Zenith Ref 16520 Production Number, configuration, availabiity and price Reference.





We believe that there is just about 184,700 total units of Daytona made under the Ref. 16520.

This is rare of course, that was why it take someone two years to get one watch from the Rolex AD.

Transition version is always present between the production years.

Different combination of dial and bezel are not hard to be found.


R-series with "bezel 200" and "4 lines" does exist.

The "L-series" is fund to have "floating Cosmograph" and "

bezel 225"

Even a combination of Bezel 240 and floating Cosmograph exists officially from Rolex.

the Early version of R-series were made with white porcelain dial, super rare and only in white version. Estimated price is USD$75,000. Estimated only 50 pieces made!

So called "Patrizzi" version with sub-dial colour turned brown... especially happened on S-series and W-series. Price is about USD$21,000.


During the 12 years production time for Daytona using Zenith El Primero Movements,

I have had a new Daytona Zenith recently, however when I worn it with me meeting friends in the Philippines... It was taken away for saying " let me see"  after that it become "Let me own it!"

And I am trying to look for all dealer and collector to buy this Daytona Zenith when my pocket is not yet empty. as I know




Comment
This is a fun watch to wear, comfortable, it weighs about 120 gram with 10 links, not as heavy as a solid gold Submariner 16618 (172 gram) not too shinny as it is still a tool watch, it is super accurate as all Daytona Zenith I have it keeps perfect timing less than 2 seconds daily variance.

Moreover ... It has no date so you have a excuse to wear another Rolex with date on your right wrist!

Since it is made with such a small number for supplying the large number of Rolex Fans in the world, price will be only be
"UP" year after year!

It is time to keep yours!

Interview for a new Job



Above is young engineer's Sea-Dweller Ref 16600 (Year 2000)
Below is my Submariner Ref 16800 (Year 1982)


A Young engineer was asking me buying a Rolex since May last year and he had limited budget like HK$30K

And a while I sold him a full set Explorer II 16570 white dial, and he was jumping away with gratitude after wearing that watch.

Once in a while I met him in and he said the watch is running perfect and he loves it…

Two day ago he came to me saying that  ”Paul, I have to leave, because your Rolex had helped me working in another new company… I said WHY as we are in a World No. greatest Company!

 

He said he had been thinking of changing new job, new opportunity he is not quite a style of a R&D engineer and would like to change to be a sales person. So he went for an interview... in a Public Listed Technology company….
While he said down and not too long later, the interviewing manager spotted his Rolex and asked ” Wow, you are wearing a Rolex? “


He said yes, this is a simple Explorer II… The guy said, “No, it is not simple. Every Rolex carries a Story… and He was wearing a Yacht master II…. And they kept talking about his experience and the interviewer about the job offer, FINALLY… He got a new job in this Company, as a sales Manager station in China.

 

The Manager then invited the Rolex Gang to see him… The CEO wears a Day-Date in white Gold, The Chairman wears a DeepSea D blue….

 

My Colleagues talked to me, that was a wonderful experience to have such an interview and he said these few people is Rolex Lovers… and now he is…

 

Well, He asked for an upgraded and I got back his Explorer II and I passed him this Sea-Dweller 16600..

He runs away and I believe this new young man one day will come to be as an Important Asian Collector of Rolex!
