Rolex is no longer on the list of the top 20 coolest brands in the UK ...

Time to sell!

I've never been cool....

SWISSAHOLICS · 30 September 2015, 06:50 AM

Crap, it's time to liquidate the watch collection and have a garage sale this weekend to get rid of all my uncool brands

Racerdj · 30 September 2015, 06:52 AM

I'm not worried at all! At 61 I don't need to be cool.

wantonebad · 30 September 2015, 06:52 AM

Wouldn't have it any other way!!

watchwatcher · 30 September 2015, 06:57 AM

Tudor should make an appearance on this list...they are way cool.

No other watch brand is on the list either; there's a surprise. Apple doesn't count.

Headshrinker · 30 September 2015, 07:00 AM

Utter Poppycock! I wear one...

Who cares what others think?

RayRay · 30 September 2015, 07:33 AM

I believe there is an element of specialness that comes with Rolex not being on that list. It says, "We are a company admired by those who desire class and beauty, not simply what is 'in'." Conversely, one could probably say the same thing simply if it was on the list. Besides, it's cool not to be cool.

Lordofrolex · 30 September 2015, 07:34 AM

That list yes have some cool brands on it but some are debatable. I would argue with the source of this site.

madmax21 · 30 September 2015, 07:35 AM

I'm not sure if the Rolex brand has ever really been cool. They really haven't done that much advertisement in the past as far as I can remember. I'm seeing a lot more in recent years where they're sponsoring major sporting events, like F1 auto racing and tennis tournaments. Still when you're paying a watch $10,000 I'm not your cool and trendy is really even a factor. I think the real point for Rolex is (when you want the BEST there's Rolex) If people want to be cool look around and find the flavor of the month.

Not going to loose any sleep over that!

Love where your head is at in the last sentence.

doubleinfive · 30 September 2015, 07:40 AM

Rolex was never a cool brand, but cool people wear them...

REFZ · 30 September 2015, 07:40 AM

Never thought about that but for me: mission accomplished.

superdog · 30 September 2015, 07:42 AM

It makes me like the brand a bit more.

Nice.

Agreed.
And I appreciate the brand more

beshannon · 30 September 2015, 08:28 AM

Fantastic news.

Perhaps those who buy to be popular and to be noticed will move on and leave the brand to those who actually appreciate it.

rootbeer7 · 30 September 2015, 08:31 AM

I think the young people say "whatever"

jeffgo888 · 30 September 2015, 08:38 AM

That mention list is for the masses, ROLEX is too special, and so is Omega
There is our exclusive club right there..:)

jeffgo888 · 30 September 2015, 08:40 AM

Oh..and lemme add..I dont give a flying %%%%....LOL

isnt SHE EXQUISITE?

Ruud Van Driver · 30 September 2015, 08:43 AM

With brands like Virgin Atlantic, Instagram, Spotify and Google in the top 20, I don't want to be cool.

That list is all over the place and really makes not to much sense. I understand the intent, but why would I compare brands of different categories. Makes no sense to compare Apple vs Nike etc
