Rolex Watches
Everybody loves a Rolex! But what exactly is it about them that make a Rolex watch so special?
The Rolex wristwatch is iconic. Ever since the birth of the Rolex in 1915, there has always been something special about it.
A Genuine Rolex Watch
More than just a watch, the Rolex always stood out from the crowd. Ever the pioneer in watch engineering, it was the first watch to have a changing dial date, the first to have a waterproof case at 100m, the first to have a daily/monthly change on the dial and the first to display two time zones at once.
A pioneer in watch design, Rolex has always led the way with its revolutionary specifications. The Rolex was the first wristwatch that was resistant to water and continues to push back the boundaries in all kinds of other ways. Today you can purchase a specific Rolex for extreme activities such as mountain climbing, deep sea diving and aviation. Whether you climb mountains or brave the Artic tundra, your Rolex is able to rise to the challenge also.
The luxury brand of Rolex can be purchased in a choice of three styles, the Professional, the Cellini and the Oyster Perpetual. The prospective Rolex wearer would expect to pay tens of thousands of pounds for his or her watch and much more if a diamond inlay is required.
If you find yourself looking for a less expensive Rolex, then look no further than the Tudor brand. Tudor was actually discontinued in 2004 in America but can be acquired in and around Europe and the Far East.
The Rolex is expensive so does this imply that not many people can afford them? The biggest individual luxury brand of watch by a long chalk, Rolex watches are in a perpetual state of high demand producing about two thousand a day.
How did the Rolex brand come about? The name Rolex was chosen largely because it could be pronounced in any language and because the word ‘Rolex’ sounded like a watch being wound up (eg Ro-lex).
Very much a status symbol, it can be said that the Rolex ‘maketh the man’ but if the Rolex is good enough for James Bond, then we all want to have one! Look out for the iconic Rolex Submariner the next time you watch a Bond movie as it has been worn by 007 in no less than eleven of the films.
