My Asia Passion Rolex Report......................
What a amazing impressive trip it was indeed !!!
I was overwhelmed from the hospitality of my new Rolex friends from Asia. Thanks YOU very much guys!! One of the reasons I came to HK was because a great Rolex collector with a mindblowing collection and really fun guy got the first example of the Hillary Tenzing Edition: 01/88 personally delivered at home ;-) As his vintage Rolex deserves to be published, that interesting I found it I can't share any pictures untill now with you, a problem i've always, maybe 1 day I mix it all in 1 big book ;-) Untill then, this pic isn't bad either ;-) Allthough I tried to arrange a much bigger meeting it ended up with most old friends that came by having some drinks at the skybar of Upper House Hotel. Not easy to get everybody together in a short time but for next my next visite, I really like a GTG with you asian! Paul and his team where taking care of me perfectly once I arrived in HK, many thanks to you guys! specially Patrick;-) Honestly, i'm still surprised that all auctionhouses don't offer more of their vintage Rolex at their HK sale...the time I gained after a quick look I spend on checking out and studying the new & old PPC's at Christie's, who sold again very strong with $ 18mil. Just getting used to the ritme of HK, It was already time to move on. Next stop was Macao for only 22 hours !! where my good friend Eric Ku attended the DFS - Master of Time show with a stunning area full of perfect vintage Rolex... Kind of dizzy from all the dancing move ;-) leaving Macao back to HK to fly to Malaysia and meet a great friend in Borneo ... And No, before you start, it was not Orchi, lol! Instead it was the best eye candy Orgie ever for me!! ;-) I'm happy at least I can share following 2 super rare vintage Rolex with you guys!! Enjoy the pictures.... & Best Rolex ref 4113 Spiltsecond I've seen yet, such a amazing beauty !!!! What a honor it was to enjoy it's beauty up close, incredible, just whaooo! Back to HK to meet some more friend and preparing my way back home. Thanks YOU HK, hope to be back soon!! Regards Philipp |

Was that you holding the one that went 7 miles on the bottom of the sea? Quite an experience if I must say.
