bling....! mighty bling....!!

haha, how do you like this one????

i was rendered speechless for a moment after i saw it..... i mean the picture cos i have no idea how the real watch looks like nor am i interested to find out....

to each his own but i think quite a few people will like it very much but the bracelet model is kinda too much...... the watch looks better on a strap...

even the moon becomes a jewelled satellite haha......

maybe a little modesty is good........... when too much is obviously too much.....

for your info, the movement has to be manually wound so any lucky owner will have so much fun winding the diamond-tipped crown...... one can wind the watch and fondle the diamonds at the same time...... :)

rolex: a view from the back.....

a few days ago, i wrote about a fake rolex gmt master 2 watch....... now it's time to present the genuine stuff......



here you can see the 18k and 750 hallmarks i mentioned ...... the size of the maxi case is also clearly evident....... see how thick the lug ends are.......

a rolex movement has distinctive features....... note the red colour gears...... the stout balance bridge.... the non-ballbearing rotor........ and for the 3186 movement, you can also see the parachrom bleu hairspring.....

if the fakers attempt to copy everything, i think the fake will end up more expensive than a genuine rolex watch......... haha

slow weekend.......

there was no update recently cos have been busy these few days ....... so sorry about that if u came around recently and saw the same old pages......... that is if u enjoy reading what you read ......

was so sleepy after dinner this evening that i went to nap on the couch immediately haha....... i am always surprised how a good meal can make me sleepy..... especially after lunch at work....... a short nap after lunch, if possible, is a god's gift ...... 30 mins of a "quickie" always refreshes and make the afternoon more pleasant......

something in the news recently raised alarm bells in my head....... how can malaysia, the world's leader in palm oil production, run short of cooking oil?

i cant imagine if this happens during the festive period like hari raya, chinese new year....... haha we could have riots if people cant get their cooking oil..........

now they have rationing for this essential item....... pretty shocking right..... maybe it's a good time for us to cut back on the use of cooking oil........ much of what we eat is WAY TOO OILY...... eeks........ let's reduce the amount and also replace it with olive oil............ it's good for your heart ok?

more for the ladies....

firstly for the gals......... or little gals rather....... isnt this cuteeeee???

in pink trim and laces....... to make little gals happy........... or make little gals LV fans in no time....



and then for their mommies......... available in matching colours.......

expensive slippers they may be, but heard they are extremely durable..... for a few hundred dollars they ought to be........ i like the refreshing feeling that pink colour brings along......

rolex series continued: folex!! i.e fake rolex watches

wanna see a fake rolex watch?

pls click on the picture to see all the tell-tale signs clearly......



this picture has been around for quite some time...... in fact after rolex launched their new 116718 18k yellow gold gmt master 2, the fakers also introduced their new product not long after......... haha...... talk about meeting market needs, they are very efficient surely......

so let us go after them feature by feature.....

1. this watch attempts to copy the ceramic bezel............. however, there is no bezel in green for the gmt master 2 .. it comes only in black......... moreover, the numerals on a real gmt 2 are engraved much deeper than the folex..... the font on the bezel is also wrong....

2. observe carefully and you can tell that the gold surround for the hour markers are way too thick.......

3. unfortunately the fakers also got the shape of the crown protectors wrong......... far too sharp on this folex.......

4. for the 116718, rolex introduced the maxi case which is a more muscular and wider watch case...... this folex got it wrong......

5. the centre links should be a shiny polished surface.......

6. model number printed on the green hologram is wrong.......... it shd be 116718 and its position shd be slightly below the centre ....not that much towards the bottom.....

7. the SEL (solid end links) look pretty good but again, there shd not be any code on the bracelet...... for late-model rolex watches, the bracelet code are engraved elsewhere (between the end links).....

8. the oyster fliplock clasp is not correct..... only the submariner/sea dweller come with a oyster fliplock bracelet........

9. absence of 18k and 750 hallmarks on the supposedly 18k yellow gold watch case......

and most importantly.......

10. the movement is totally WRONG WRONG WRONG............. rolex does not use a plastic retaining ring.... the rotor shape and engraving are wrong....... the balance is wrong..... the ball-bearing rotor is wrong............... the gears are all wrong..........

awesome patek .....

when i first saw the pic of this fine collection, my eyes almost popped out................

HOLY SMOKE! i guess all the highly regarded and sought after patek philippe nautilus watches are IN......

was the picture taken from an AD? i guess not......... cos many ADs i have approached do not even have any nautilus watches for sale....... many are on a waiting list....... and these watches usually sell at a premium over list prices

GOSH..... *thumbs up*...... my personal favourite is the nautilus chronograph.......

so cute again...... :)

was browsing the latest LV collections...........

and i saw this one!!!

so cuteeeeeeeeee................. LV is introducing a tinge of green in their 08 summer collection and this pair of sneakers for kids is just so pretty.......

kinda smart to use velcro for easy wearing (most kids are not good at lacing after all) and i like the mix of colours very much...... but for fortunate kids only!

meanwhile for men, how about SILVER....!! METALLIC SILVER..!

i think not everyone can carry it off...... but it's pretty cool in a certain way........

great for parties if u wish to stand out from the crowd......... on the dimly lit dance floor, your friends could pick u out easily hehe

2008....

many like to have new year resolutions...... i dun..... perhaps i knew right from the start i could never stick to it..... so what for haha.....

how about a wish list then? well if i happen to strike the lottery, i have many things that i would like to have..... but then that's for day-dreaming..... i find day-dreaming fun...... certainly i enjoy it hehe....

it would be great if i could build an audio/video room from scratch........ having freedom to decide on the materials for the floor..... the colour for the walls......would be so nice........ and make sure that acoustic treatment is integrated into the decor...... not to forget, re-do all the wiring from the circuit breaker to the wall outlets with audiograde cables........

buying a new car would be fun too............. honda civic type r? honda accord euro r? mitsubishi evo x? mazda rx-8 40th anniversary edition? hehe.............. the more you dare to dream, the more realistic the dream is........ and the more the dreamy car feels real ....... :)

unfortunately i dun have much luck in lottery...... too bad..... :)
