Colour
of jewel
99% watch jewels is fuchsia, but RM is using black as they are more likely matching the skeleton movement design to look cool! La Pierette had started this manufacturing in 1915... well that company can supply the rubies for these companies yearly consumption: Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, Rolex, Panerai, Richard Mille, Omega. etc.
Remarks : each manual winding watches contains 17 rubies, automatic watch has 21 jewels. RM-11 has 68 jewels and most complicated watches has 242 jewels. Each of the jewels having cost of a few Swiss frans!

Their production volume if not high but the price is, so revenue is very high.
I had tried the RM-11 which was fantastic for the first impression and there they have launched newer I can't remember only RM-11 had how may variety on dial design, plus combination of material and minor design feature.
They have Titanium pink gold case, they use ivory embedded on the crown and or black carbon bezel, circular case and bezel of RM33, RM62 looks like the Eclipse of Patek ...etc,
Yes, we see RM is doing very good in sales, and their watch is very expensive, they use High technology material and innovative design, but in 1969, the high tech quartz had brought Seiko a success, but later took over by Swiss on the mechanical watches again.
The recent RM27-04 designed for Rafael Nadal which is US$1M...
RM is an success, interesting to understand what is their marketing strategy for the next 5 or 10 years to keep them in the top if the luxury lines of watches.
Well, I really hope that it will not follow the same path as Panerai in the last ten years, by making too many similar models, limited edition after another limited edition with similar or even equal design.

What is in the hype now?
In 2012-2018 the hype was GMT Master no matter the green
pointer 116710LN, the Batman 116710BLNR, the Vintage 1675, Pepsi 126710BLRO and
the latest Batgirl 126710BLNR are the hot topics in social media.
In 2018-2020 was SeaDweller 126600 Single Red, we started selling
at $98000 up to $114,000.
September 2020, Rolex launched the colour OP (Oyster Perpetual) with 31, 36, 41mm.
Initially there were some stock but no soon later there was no more.
Ref 126000 Tiffany Blue $92,000
Ref 126000 Green $89,000
Ref 126000 Orange $82,000
Latest price of Rolex at dealers, not Boutique as there is no way for getting a Rolex Model at SRP nowadays without long waiting.
GMT Master II Pepsi 126710BLRO $150,000
GMT Master II Batgirl 12671lBLNR $142,000
Submariner
126610LN Black $100,000
126610LV Starbucks $148,000
116610LV Hulk (discon.) $142,000
Daytona
However, ever since 2009 up to now, people never stop talking on Daytona. Meaning Daytona s the perpetual talking point.
Daytona Green gold 116508 was $356000 in 2020 but now $490,000
Daytona ICE blue platinum 116505
$720,000
Ref 116519 Grey was $226,000 in 2019 and now $300,000
Ref 116500 Daytona White dial was $190,000 in 2019
Now new one is $230,000
People asks if one day Daytona steel 116500LN would reach
price tag of $320,000?
I think possible. As whatever price is under Rolex’s hand, if he reduce
production 20%, price would be up 30%! Simple. Just if they want to do it or
not?
Last but not least, what is best to buy now?
Most of the people had switches focus on Daytona rather than GMT Master or Submariner.
Something that you like and not losing value over time…
Daytona 116500LN White or 116508 Daytona
Green dial if you like the look which is not my cup of tea.
Price listed here are for reference and are subject to
changes daily. And it depends on if that is new old stock or not.

黃牧其實就係古鎮皇，80年代好出名嘅作家，著作有金錢遊戲，投資指南，旅遊雜誌，他收集古董墨水筆，名錶。他一個人就住3000尺嘅studio 屋, 冇結婚, 曾經有一面之緣因為同香港筆王TK 係老友記, 1992, 1993 年在灣仔天地圖書館開左個古董墨水筆筆展我哋去過兩次買咗唔少墨水筆.王牧一年有三季在外國旅遊嘆世界。聽到心情都有唔係好舒服，人生苦短，愛要愛到盡，錢要花凸，見到心頭好而有升值潛力的，買！
大表的潮流
講起Panerai, 1990年代只不過一個意大利一個街邊小店. 根本無人認悉，而那時侯重未興起超過40mm 的大型手表。想當年香港筆王TK Lee擁有自己嘅時裝旺角在Landmark，太古城，太古廣場有十三間店時裝店，Try Me, Momento, Marizo Bonus. TK 自己經常啲去意大利辨時裝.週時經常一家小店同老伯伯打招呼，因為無生意.大有時間吹水。店也吾出名，當時無太多用勇於戴這大型怪獸表。Panerai 屬於冷門表，但係那時侯已經出現了有Panerai 致駕勢的設計，簡約，大隻44mm , 47 mm, Tritium 夜光3，6，9， 12 ，兩針，半圓形霸的guard 直到1996年Richemont 用銀彈政策先至開始托起Panerai 亦都搞得有聲有色，所以你問我Panerai 早期嘅錶1993到1996 年代表作最值得收藏。那時侯是Pre-Vendome 資本運作的，因為規模少所以產量更少。有啲型號甚至只出兩隻。而有最原始的意大利優美設計。1996 史泰龍拍 Daylight 帶住呢隻201/a開始帶出大表潮流，繼而阿諾舒華辛力加同時帶啲Panerai 表就把超大型錶帶入呢個亞洲市場！
後來2003年阿諾舒華辛力加拍Terminator 3用嗰隻錶足足54 mm大就是AP嘅T3
手表嘅設計就越來越大⋯
後記
我上過筆王李半山大宅。屋企內大概有4000支墨水筆！目不暇給真係一時無兩！佢要收埋好多
Patek Philip呀寶璣呀，AP,
Rolex 錶!

“What’s Hi Fi” had selected these few pieces of all time favourite or memorisable pieces of legendary audio equipment. No matter you have once used them or still using them now, they represent the best examples of good engineering and special designed masterpieces! Though there is arguable why not Rogers LS3/5A Loudspeakers is not included or not. Let’s not talk about your own favourite pieces first. Do we agree that these are some of the legendary Audiophile
Equipment in the past 60 years ?
Have you notice that the Maclntosh MC275 was sold at US$444 in 1965 worth how much now ?
Well if a super nice condition with original component in is about $7,000!
Can you image if one used the US$444 to buy three Rolex GMT master 1675 and keep until
Now in super good condition worth how much now? In case of a 1960 GMT Master is kept till now probably worth US$134,615 which is 20 times more in value.
The moral of this story is keep your Rolex and sell them to buy audio equipment! As most of the audio equipment will depreciate rather than appreciate over time

A story started with mentorship to a young student who came to me after finding me at my Blog.
He learnt from me on buying and selling watches two years.
Now he has his own office in Tsim Sha Tsui and making ten of thousand of US dollar a month.
Readers of my fb knows about this story and started to ask for more and how about a setup in a group such as to share the technique and knowledge in making watch selling fun.
We are encouraged to set up a new chat group in form of facebook, WhatsApp group or other media for the following purposes:
1.To share watch trace secret
2. How to make a successful deal
3. What we should buy and when we should sell?
4. How to tell the fake watches from the real stuff?
5.....
Many people would like to join as we had talked about the name of the group.

Price of Rolex has not been affected by this COVID-19 and bad economy locally in Hong Kong.
The price of Rolex was estimated to lower by most of the speculators and watch dealers a few months ago but
that is not the case.
Take a few examples:-
Let’s compare the price of today with 6 months ago
Daytona 116500 White today price $200,000 ($185,000)
Daytona Gold green dial 116508 Today price $420,000 ($365,000)
GMT Pepsi 126710BLRO today price $139,000 ($136,000)
GMT Batgirl 1266710BLNR today price is $120,000 ( $118000)
Sea dweller 126600 Single Red $111,000 ($106,000)
Submariner 116610LN 40mm discontinued since Sept 2020 , NOS still available about estimated $98,000
Submariner 126610LN 41mm now is $115,000
These are not SPR at AD, because only a few person could get Rolex sport model with SPR in Hong Kong, needless to be discussed here.
The price here is the trading price of watch dealers in Hong Kong.
Let’s observe one more month.

This is Rolex Day Date coral.
No matter you like it or not, I was able to persuade Rolex Swiss to assemble one last Coral dial on to a 118238 and we bought it three years ago at AD and sold it to a HK collector at HK$2XXXXX !
That watch is probably worth with almost $700,000 or more now!
Now Antiquorum is carrying a 1996 ref 18208 with coral dial.
The most collectible colour is Coral, Lapis Lazuli, Malachite, onyx... I still Remember someone looked at me saying too expensive as I sold one 18038 Coral with Rolex paper with certain price, half of this price 2 years ago.
Sometimes it is not hunch but knowledge that could predict what is the value of some watches in future!
The rule is how rare it was and how “ ugly” it was! After certain year peoples ’ taste would change and it becomes how beautiful it is! 😂

After 1st September, there is never short of surprise, first the slightly enlarged 41mm Submariner 126610LN, 126610LV was available in the authorized Dealer (AD), actually each AD should carry one set of new Rolex in Hong Kong, but not Taiwan, Philippines, nor Thailand.
Price of Submariner Green bezel is highest hitting $200,000 in the first two days, people will think that price will drop one week or so to a state of $120,000!
It is proven wrong, as of today 13 September, the Green Bezel Submariner (it got a nicked name Starbucks) is still selling as an average $165,000.
Submariner Black with date 126610LN is $121,000
How about those OP? An oyster perpetual 36mm ref 124300 with SRP $43,400.
This is the known price on media like fb, IG.
Turquoise $77,000
Green $65,000
Yellow, Red and Orange yet to be seen and no price
Black and Silver should be around SRP.
I guess that orange and Red shall not be cheaper than turquoise and green.
Let’s watch out
We don’t have 41mm yet in the market.
If you can see those colour selling at SRP, I think you should buy, if not let me know where if that is in HK.
Price indicated here is in Hong Kong Dollar
