I don’t believe Rolex themselves is launching the site, correct ? I thought it was something Jose Perestroika put together ?

Demand will shoot up 20% more because of the remeniscing and romance associated with history and heritage, especially the vintage variety.
Can't wait. Thanks for the heads up. |

Exciting, I hope this is a step towards Rolex appreciating their own vintage history similar to the way Porsche does it.

Marking the moment in history where all SS sports models were only available to the end customers vital the secondary market?

Most of the true Rolex history is already on forum.

I find this site strange. The articles focus on things like science and history and climate while injecting random bits of Rolex watch marketing. It’s odd. Cool looking site, though.

Sorry but the website is lame... People want the history on the watches from the beginning to now... From when submariners,Gmt's and so forth started and all the transitions, a true history... The website is nicely made but everything is irrelevant to what people truly want...

Why and what has led them to stay the course in their stedfast adherence to their design language. Maybe the answer isn't cryptic by intention as Rolex has had a very small amount of top leadership all who've been adamantly reserved in opening up about the company. Perhaps when Dufour retires, he may shed some light into the company since a few doors have opened during his leadership. Although in the end I suspect the secrecy and vagueness is intentional and part of the strict guidance left by Wilsdorf and that every Rolex employee is bound to. I still love the site. I'm an admitted Rolex loyalist. |
