Alex Fong, HK movie star had just been terminated contract with Doxa as their ambassador. reins was Alex was not wiling to do the things as on the contract after the watch event in Guangzhou 20 May.

Well, that is quite a surprise as all the advertisement was made with Alex Fong at the boutique, news media, that might have the consequence.

Doxa was immediately gains its publicity in facebook, news media and more than 100X people now know what Doxa is...

Is this termination of contract is part of the original contract?

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

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!
