Why pickRolex Watch?
It is the most identifiableluxurybrand.
Rolex is plainly the most widely knownamong the world’s high-end watch brands.
Essentiallythere are two Rolex customergroups– those who understand a lot, and those who knowreallylittle.
Other Rolex customersdo notknow much about watches, just that Rolex is the best. For them the mainincentive is this: if you’re going to wear a watch, it’s got to be a Rolex. And this is a big compliment for the maker— because if even a person who knowsnothingabout watches views one particularbrand as “Number One”, the companyis doing something.
Constantlevel of quality.
The basis for Rolex’s success is its exceptionallyhigh item quality extending over the many years of its presence. Rolex watches reveal time properlyand are robust, durableand reliable.
Maintainingconsistently high quality with approximatedannual production numbers of about three-quarters of a million pieces is an art unto itself. And it’s to Rolex’s benefit to leave outuncommonissues.
It has no tourbillons, continuouscalendars or minute repeaters– not even motions with a big date display, power reserve indicationor alarm function.
The Rolex Cerachrom bezel.
The businessfocuses onwhat it does best, and enhances the informationongoing. This is true for the movements as well asfor the case. You won’t discover a rotating bezel that ratchets so easily and efficiently like the one on the Submariner or GMT-Master II from any of its competitors– even other high-end producerswith a lot morepriceyproducts.
It’s got everything a watch needs.
The significance of the Rolex name is linked to the truth that the brandintroducedinnovativefeaturesrather early on which have actually made the watch appropriate for daily wear. In 1914 Rolex creatorHans Wilsdorf sent a wristwatchmotion to the prominentKew-Teddington observatory for chronometer certification.
The COSC-certified Caliber 4130 that powers the Daytona.
Today the chronometer test (presentlycarried out by the Swiss institute COSC) has actually ended up being a standard for internal mechanical Rolex qualities. In 1927 the first waterproofwatch was introduced and the automatedwinding systemfollowed a number of years later on– since to guaranteethe water-resistance of a watch, it should not be necessaryto pull the crown every day.
The very first Oyster case in 1927 and first Oyster Perpetual in 1945.
These twofeatures are shown in the product name “Oyster Perpetual”, which decoratesvirtuallyevery Rolex. The Datejust, introduced in 1945, was the first watch to combine all 3features– automatedwinding, waterproof case and chronometer certificate. Together with its namesake date window, it has all the basics.
Instantlyrecognizabledesign, Rolex Ebay.
The everydaywearability of a watch is a function of its style. The round shape of a Rolex contributes to its water-resistance and its exceptionallegibility. Add to this a central sweep seconds hand and Cyclops date magnifier (another Hans Wilsdorf innovation).
Existing collections are maintainedand continuouslyimproved throughout the years. This is supported by Rolex expertPercy Christian Schoeler, creator of the German-language webwebsites Luxify and R-L-X-Forum: “Only verycautiousadjustmentsto the renownedstyle of individualmodel collections over the decadeshaveresulted in a high degree of acknowledgment.”.
Rolex modelshaveonly seen incremental changes over the years.
There are no abruptdesign shifts or leaps, and even case sizes are modifiedjustextremelyslowly. Normalstylefunctions like the grooved bezel, “Mercedes” hands, Cyclops magnifier and the Oyster bracelet are part ofa number ofvariousdesigns and have actuallyhardly evergone throughmodification so a Datejust or a Submariner today looks quitelike earlier designs. It’s why it is constantlysimple to acknowledge a Rolex from a distance.
EnjoyspecialistGisbert L. Brunner calls this the “10-meter rule“– and it’s not simply the professionalswho acknowledgethem.
Keeps its value.
The moment you buy an automobile, it drops in value by half. This reality is true to a lesserlevel for watches– except for Rolex.
For the high-demand sport models in stainless steel at least (though this is a stickier circumstancefor gold Oyster designs and the classygold Cellini watches) it’s possible to get justa little less, or maybe even more, than the originalpurchase price. This is an attractive point for any consumer— despite whether they are purchasing the watch forthis specificreason or any other. It’s reassuring to know you’ve made a smartdecision. Rolex Ebay.
