Haven’t post for very long

Firstly happy new year for all and hope it’s another great year for you guys!

My 2017 was awesome and that led to an amazing start for me in 2018! Blessed with a new baby girl and a good work year hence decided to do what I wanted to do for a Loong time

這個。。。師兄你就不明白嘍。。。
有些人可以把萬多兩萬的錶當"存款",有些當工具。買了不戴為保值,買了粗戴不理值啦!平時能夠奪他人欽羨目光算回值了。。。

agree bro, dont want wear too much, later depre too much. hahaha service also another price tag. i have a number of watches, just want to get something new for myself this year. haha

Hahaha thanks bro! I too happy cause this was not expected. I wanted to hoot 116613ln before CNY but the watch just don’t give me the feel. So I was thinking of shelving this purchase. Then I got a chance for this piece so went down to try and all is history.

Always felt that Submariner bracelet and glidelock are the most awesome thing but this royal oak bracelet is out of the world too! Extremely comfy and the finishing is crazy nice!

Seems the 1st thing that strikes 1st time RO/ROO owners coming from so called lower-tier watchmakers, is the level of craftsmanship and finishing AP put in. Even the winding and setting feels perfectly made. Enjoy :)

Actually no leh.
The winding is Okok only.
The time setting, the min hand tend to wobble when adjusting and closing the crown.

To be honest. I think rolex movement more refined.

AP finishing I say zai and different, a class of their own. but I think rolex is on par based on quality of finishing.

To be frank, I think luxury watches in the tiers of PP, AP, JLC etc are one of the greatest hustles of this century...
Personally I wear these because my work environment pretty much demands a watch of decent “face value”(i work in HK) and if I would be perfectly happy with something geeky but stupidly useful, like an Apple watch or a garmin.

Really? Why not though? Heard a famous Chinese wearing a very plain watch.

Clothes don't always make the man.

點樣都係要睇你職位幾高,收入幾多嘛。。。如果衹係一個小經理,唔通要你洗嗮戶口買隻錶嚟撐公司嘅面咩???
