Suspicious! Suspicious!

Hi guys!
Yay i'm backkkkk from Pennsylvania! Did y'all miss me? ^___^ (lol okay don't answer that!)
Now imagine my utter happiness and surprise when i turned on my PC and saw the Charray news/rumors; it's like the best welcome-back present ever! <3 But is it just me or is there a lot of loop-holes in Ray's response? Hmmmm...

Suspicion Factors
1. "他即紧张地维护阿佘"
Raymond was extremely nervous in his response, a definite contrast to the usual calm manner he responds to rumors with other female celebs.

2. Raymond was quick to DEFEND Charmaine. Usually when questioned about rumors, Ray is quick with a "No!" or an "Impossible!". However, this time around, instead of hurriedly denying it, the first things coming out of his mouth is "Please don't accuse Charmaine!"

3. "我依家有做手表品牌代言,其实艺人来来去去都喜欢几个牌子啦!"
First of all, the incriminating watches that our lovely Charray sports is from the brand Panerai. From all my knowledge, Raymond is not and has never been a spokesperson for this brand. (he is the current male spokesperson for Ernest & Borel watches) And secondly, if anything, Panerai is definitely NOT considered a popular brand of watches in Hong Kong (it's an Italian brand) for they do not have any flagship stores in HK and thus, they're very very rare and extremely expensive to obtain. So...what are the chances?

4. The timing is also another suspicion factor. Charmaine was seen with a Panerai watch from the Historic line, the "Radiomir 8 days" model since the beginning of this year. At the same time, Raymond frequently wears (he was seen wearing it while filming for The Drive of Life) also a Panerai watch from the Historic line, the "Lumior Base" model. (which is very similar to Charmaine's Radiomir 8 Days").
Here are some pics:














However, in 2008, Raymond had apparently bought a new watch, again, from Panerai!
This new watch is from the Contemporary Line, Luminor range, "1950 Chrono" model.













Suspicious enough, at around the same time period, Charmaine also obtained a new Panerai watch, also from the Contemporary line, Luminor range, the "GMT" model.














Now, now...sure it could be argued that having similar watches is a fairly common & normal thing among colleagues. However, when you put 1+1 together? Isn't everything a little TOO coincidental? His and Her watches from an extremely rare and high-end brand that's very uncommon in HK, new watches, from the same brand, range, and line at around the same time? I'm usually a skeptic but even i have to say that's a little too forced to be a simple "coincidence". ;) Either way, i'm just happy there's finally some Charrayness after the long and painful drought. >< (and to think of it, the watch observation originated from our very own Charray thread on Asianfanatics! ^^) I just hope after this Charmaine and Raymond won't start avoiding each other because of the rumors!
