Rolex Quarter Century Club

Rolex Quarter Century Club

This Rolex Quarter Century club was a hard earned watch as one has to work for Eaton department store for a period of 25 years in order to be officially presented with this watch as a token of apprectaion for long service.

The 1/4 century club starts from the 1900s to till the 1970s as it started with the Pocket watches, to Rolex Prince, hand wind till the final automatic movement.

I was told that the watch is in 14k to signify 1/4 and most of the watches I have seen are in 14k. Have not seen an 18k model yet..

How many can work for 25 years in one company in modern days?

Vintage Russian military watches



These are vintage Russian military watches issued during the USSR CCCP days! In original box and in mint conditions! I remember being able to find these in boxes during the early 1990s. Now, many of these USSR military watches out in the shopes were in fact replica of these..many are in quart movement too!

Rolex 1680 night view

This is a beautifully taken photo of the Rolex 1680 reb submariner!

Tudor Submariner

I have found this Tudor Submariner in mint condition many years back. At that time, the price is about HK$7000 only. Now, the price has gone up to HK$20,000 owing to the great demand in vintage sports watch. However, the values of the watch is only valuable when one sells them! Since I have no intention of selling them, its just paper values! ha ha
