You‘ll need more than that if buying new. I also always wanted one, had the cash to buy one, but not so sure I want one now, with how the ADs had behaved the last few years.

I got a GMT in 1968 when I graduated from Purdue. Every 5, 7, or 10 years or so I'd have it "serviced" by Rolex. Used to cost about $200-300 for service. Last year it was almost $1,800. When it got back to the dealer (from Rolex in Lititz, PA) they asked me how I got it. I had never really paid any attention to all of the hype - I just wore it. They asked a lot of questions I couldn't answer. But since then I've learned from videos, all about the bezel, the T

I will stick with my $30 Timex watch bought at Walmart. All stainless design is both pretty to look at and very comfortable. And if I forget it in a public place I will just find another. Gives great time and batteries every 3-5 years.

I bought my first Rolex in 1986, it was a stainless Sub for $1,400 to reward myself for my miserable one and only army tour as an officer. Bought a gold and steel Daytona, white face with gold sub dials for about $12,700 back in 2006. Finally, bought the stainless steel GMT II for about $7,500 in 2009. I couldn't come close to affording them now.

I've had the Yachtmaster II for about a decade and it is still pristine. I love it and have no desire for any other watch though I do have a couple Apple Watches for casual wear. The YM-II is quite a bit more expensive than what you mentioned at the end.

A very powerfull brand. Even among the top brands in the world. As said here, the master of micro engineering. But their brand building among so many other high quality watch makers has been astonishingly differentiating from others. Wimbledon Tennis tournament is just one example, how goid they are in branding. Owning the Rolex is more a feeling than anything. Its not only the quality ppl want, but much more status. Rolex offers both. All hugh quality watches can offer accuracy of time, but no one the status of Rolex. So their success will continue. For ever.

@turbyoulance11 ай бұрын
@turbyoul I was told by an ex AD that and I will use this as an example. Say a Rolex watch is Listed at rrp at an AD's for $10,000. The AD buys it for 68% .In this analogy it is bought for $6,800. So Rolex make a considerable profit on that $6,800 and has to , pay it's staff and pay the electricity bills and advertising and shipment/s, etc, So this $10,000 rrp priced watch is actually made for around a third devoted to parts and labour costs. So it makes about $3,300 profit on each watch and pays NO TAX because it is considered a charity . Now Flipper's are willing to buy that $10,000 watch for $12,000 from n AD and know they can flip it for $16,000 or more on the Grey market. That is ROLEX in a nutshell.

You nailed my point, bearing in mind the primary role of a wrist watch is to keep the correct time a Rolex is beaten every time in this function by a £50 digital Casio, its undeniable, which makes the Rolex just an over priced time piece or a fashion accessory, probably a bit of both really. @@whereRbearsTeeth

You can get super clones that no one can spot without 30X magnification for $1,200. Rolex's reputation has plummeted so far that the super clones are widely seen as the same level of class. They proved that you can build at 98% quality and sell for 5% the price while still making a profit. Think about that for a minute.
