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.

We worked really hard on making the best video we could and it would've been a shame if we were to not publish it again.

Lavaman3682 Agreed. The kindest way i can state it is "intentionally misleading". 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 Rolex GMT Master II f series has no holes and is 22 years old and has travelled at the pointy end of a few airliners since becoming a captain! Although the watch gains time at altitude due to higher cabin altitude but gets reset using the atomic clock onboard upon arrival at the gate. Irrespective, it’s still a terrific time piece!

Biggest mistake I ever made was buying a rolex watch. I bought it in 1998 in the grand camen islands; it was purchased duty free for 2500 dollars and now worth around 6-7K I've worn it 12 times. I get more pleasure from a real swiss brand known as Patek Phillip and Gerard Peregaux. These two with IWC make up the best swiss watches in the world.

Why did you skip over the history of Rolex during WWII? Was it because back then they were merely considered a reliable timepiece instead of a status symbol? Back in the day their pocket watches were modified to sit in a frame on the dashboard of military vehicles. I have one that I have had mounted into a leather 'wristlet' - it was my grandfather's war watch.

how many watches do you need? get one and wear it daily. I prefer my rolex to an apple watch (received as a gift) but the things a smart watch can do is truly inspiring. though I enjoy my water proof sub mariner, the rolex takes 'licking and keeps on ticking"- oh yeah that's another 5 letter brand of watch .the apple watch did mot last as long. with the face seem to disconnect from the watch band - hanging by a cable? no desire yet to replace it- was a gift and happy with my Rolex. which does turn some heads- which is fine, by me and opens some doors. to conversation. I recall a couple of doctors thought it wasn't real.

My favorite is definitely the submariner. I bought the no-date submariner 2-1/2 years ago and its already selling for more than I paid for it. From what I understand that model is hard to come by, more demand than supply. No regrets. Such a great investment. I had always wanted one, ever since my dad got one in the late 60's. He probably paid around 3 or 4 hundred back then.

I agree, and have one. I mentioned it in a comment I just submitted. Mine's a mid-seventies two-tone with the serrated gold bezel, Champagne face, and Jubilee bracelet. I paid only $1,600 about 8 years ago. I read that in that period, Rolex used 14 carat gold. Perhaps there was a recession. As you would know, on the face it is stated, "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified."

The name ROLEX is simply "watch" in Spanish = RELOJ He simply swapped the vowels. In Spanish and English the J and the X are interchangeable: Javier = Xavier When I first saw my uncle's Rolex 40 years ago, I saw that immediately.

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.
