I purchased my Rolex Submariner back in 1983 or 84... I loved the stainless steel look and the durability of the watch. I was getting into underwater welding and all the guys that dove wore them. And James Bond wore one (back then it was a big deal because it wasn't an Omega). So I cut grass for $10 a yard and saved all the money from odd jobs and in about two years I brought my pickle jar full of paper and coins to Hausmann Jewelers and purchased my watch. My constant companion.

Alun Chisholm I think that is a RU-vid myth. Apart from the high(ish) register of the voices it doesn’t sound like him to me : Alan Davies has a much stronger South East England accent to my ear. Even the Watchfinder narrator in question joked about it in one of his videos a while back.

@RameUkulele 3 года назад

I have my uncle's late 80's tapestry dial datejust to remember him by. Still keeps great time after all these years and the only Rolex I ever want to own. Classic design and I can see this will still be ticking and keeping time long after my own ticker has stopped. I know sports watches is what everyone is after but when I think of Rolex, I instantly think of datejust. A timeless design classic.

@@dorado0359 My GMT needed servicing at the 18 year mark. It started to lose some time over a couple of days. I wore it all the time and everywhere. When it was opened it needed cleaning but the wear was negligible. so, marketing is one thing but it was a good timepiece all round.

The primary function of a watch is no longer to simply tell time - it is to inflame desire. As such, Rolex obviously makes the best watches, because they are the most desirable.

Mike Munoz This is from Wikipedia Rolex SA (/ˈroʊlɛks/) is a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer based in Geneva, Switzerland. Originally founded as Wilsdorf and Davis by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis in London, England in 1905, the company registered Rolex as the brand name of its watches in 1908 and became Rolex Watch Co. Ltd. in 1915.
