RESALE RESALE RESALE

There is way too much hype about it, not too much meeting the facts.

Outstanding chronometric accuracy, everything else is icing.

- insecurity and the need to use a watch to show the world and oneself
- obsession with material objects
- willingness to pay more for a watch to be able to show off

dpkong · 9 April 2012, 12:59 AM

a nice, solid watch which doubles as jewelry since i'm not into stones and necklaces.

vince211 · 9 April 2012, 02:03 AM

Excellent understated tool watches
Personal achievement

Brand recognition and quality.

tranny · 9 April 2012, 02:50 AM

A Rolex is a ubiquitously understood symbol of unashamed success and affluence (which also happens to be a fine example of watchmaking). Anyone who says different is posturing.

bradiowausa · 9 April 2012, 03:17 AM

100% agreed. If I wanted just "a watch", a Timex keeps great time. Someone said insecurity? I wonder if any of the negative comments are from actual owners of Rolex or their counterparts?

Sarajevo · 9 April 2012, 05:21 AM

The endurance of quality.

Jonnybhoy · 9 April 2012, 05:47 AM

Universally acknowledged as classic elegance and timeless beauty.

Timeless, Quality, Innovation.

Reu · 9 April 2012, 08:45 AM

Fantastic quality watches, never ending price increases, and jumped-up AD's who stock them.
