I bought my first Rolex, a 2006 platinum Yachtmaster, in 2014 as a divorce anniversary gift to myself. I love the watch, it’s simplicity, elegant practicality, quality, value. I sailed 3500 nm from West Palm Beach to Mt Dessert Isle in ME and back to Annapolis (mostly solo) with this watch keeping my time the entire trip. It is one my few possessions and I cherish as well as my opportunity to pass it along to one of sons one day.

There are some amazingly accurate replicas out there. Rolex can always distinguish what isn’t theirs because they have their own foundry producing parts, using proprietary formulas. Broad spectrum photometry is like a fingerprint of metal composition. They can detect when an alloy isn’t meeting their secret specifications.

Like the part about the chronometer cert.; Omega held the top spot for watches in general and had been creating Chronometer certified POCKET watches since long before Rolex ever existed. Wrist watches were simply not popular among the buying public at all when Rolex released that wrist watch. The movements in the competing pocket watches were no larger than that Rolex used in their wrist watch. And that Rolex watch did not sell particularly well. Sheesh, and that's just the start of the lies and half-truths.

My favorite Rolex is mine. GMT Master ll Black & Maroon, nicknamed the Coca-Cola. Purchased new in December 1987 for the crazy prize of $1,200. This video mentions price, but does not take into consideration the fluctuations in Exchange Rates from U.S Dollars and Swiss Francs. A weak Dollar means you need more of them to buy a Rolex. One problem with my Rolex, it sat in a Safety Deposit Box for 10 years and the Luminous Dial no longer glows.

I have a 2005 GMT Master II. Paid $5300 for it. Just appraised at $12500 used retail. I weare it every day, and it has never been treated delicately. It is a rugged watch and I use it as such. Just had it serviced and it is +2 spd. Perfection, and the GMT is the most difficult Rolex to purchase retail.

My favorite Rolex watch is 'Tudor Oiyster' which I am using on my wrist from 1961 to date without any problem.

I’m a huge watch collector, but don’t have enough money for a Rolex. I’ve got Citizen, Guess, Invicta, Fossil. I definitely would have to say my favorite Rolex and dream watch is the Submariner.

I bought my OP in 1969, I have just had it seviced by Rolex, it looks and runs like new, well within the specification of a chronometer. A mechanical masterpiece. It will be handed down to a family member and I am sure it will still be going well in another 50 years time.

@@ricardohilton3568 Any Rolex authorised dealer will arrange a service. Around £550 for a normal service. Well worth the money, you will get a certificate of authenticity and a two year guarantee.

The Wimbledon is my favorite but overall I love the 2 toned datejust with jubelee. There's just something about the contrasting metals that pull the ❤️ strings.
@scottym34 жыл бұрын
I used to have the Datejust in the two-tone jubilee, I had the blue dial. Just something about silver, blue and gold, I love the combination. Am now considering a submariner with the two-tone and blue dial also. Just so beautiful.

You're correct there, it's all based on movement, quartz tick each second like most watches and use batteries, automatics move smooth and are wound up, and rolex aren't the only ones using smooth movement

Interesting overview of the brand. I noticed an obvious mistake: When you mentioned that Rolex moved to Geneva, you displayed videos of the city of Bern not Geneva.
