Wish I could read Chinese this site and magazine look awesome

If not seen before check this site out: http://www.watchfan.com/

As mentioned, I wish I could read the Chinese as I picked up their December magazine and the pictures and details into the Rolex watches (Whole magazine is deedicated to Rolex) is the best I have seen to date.

Anyone know of any translation programme that could possibly help decode the lanaguage into English?

Give http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ a try. Looks like an interesting site.

The site is actually in Japanese :)

If you go onto it via google, there is an option to translate it. It's very much an "engrish" translation though, doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Hehe, to give an example:

"UOTCHIFAN - full of information about the Rolex! If you like the site of Japan's largest watch"

It is a good magazine I have the latest issue. There are many cool details inside like the pricing differences for a used Sub in Asia, Euro and USA for example. Or how some Sub LVs mainly the Y&F series had what they call Limes or Lime colored Bezels instead of the more solid green most LVs have. They thought these might be more collectable in the future perhaps as a mistake.

Here is a watch dealer in Japan that has some cool photos of Sub and GMT history.

Fine watches are very much appreciated by the Chinese. The BEST AD in my area is Hing Wa Lee, I think. They carry Patek, VC, JLC, the whole nine yards. They have enough Platty DDs for team of octopi.

Well I know at least what they are talking about....... ROLEX!

That sounded like a russell peters joke.

Correct, my bad

I've noticed that especially when traveling to Asia (Hong Kong and Japan especially). Rolex, Omega, Patek and PAM is almost on every wrist !
