Arguments for and against Rolex

[AbbasHabshee]

My opinion on Rolex

Pros: Durability and Versatility

Cons: some bullshit premiums and waiting list for a watch that produce almost a million a year ?

Say what you want,A Rolex is A Rolex is A Rolex.
It doesn't matter if it's just a hype,or overprice or old fashion.It just commands attention evertyime.

Without any premiums on certain models than you are correct.

I do own rolex watches but paying premium for it is bullshit IMO

That's exactly what I mean.
There are people who's against paying premium or waiting in line for Rolex,but for everyone who's against it,there are countless others who happily go for it.

Rolex movement is amazing!

Both are more than 40yrs old but after service their accuracy stay at +1 second/day at horizontal position.

Haha

Good write up by chris. 

No right no wrong just preference and probably affordability

I like RM but at the moment still could not afford

[Cocas]

This is my uncle's. He told me he bought it in Penang circa 1972 for around RM1600. A few years back he was offerred RM20k for it.

What do you guys think? Does it worth that much?

wow ..a gold plated 1550 with missing crown and heavily oxidised hands, dial and bracelet + watch worth 20k?

even a pristine complete set 1550 is not worth more than 5k

btw i am no expert but did they made a gold 1550 or "1558" ?

My preowned original Rolex 15505 is already MYR 10.5k.

Some buy rolek to show off it's wealth, so they buy the bling bling one

some buy rolek bcoz they dunno other gd watch brand

some buy rolek bcoz rolek is very liquid

some buy rolex bcoz they know rolex is tough n they jus dun feel like wearing something cheap

some buy rolex with modification to match their style

Some buy rolex because they understand rolex, they love rolex, they collect rolex...

So to talk about good or bad bout rolex? Depend u talk to who...
U talk to rolek owner sure he said gd bcoz he had the bling bling one, he dunno other brand, he can sell it with money at pawn shop jus in case....

U talk to those who know rolex n watches, then u can get different opinion....

So important is not about how good or how bad is rolex? But how good n how bad are you when u consider rolex!
Zhou mai Zhou lo dou
chi mai mo de lo
 

HAHAHA... once a watch salesman told me that Lolek is a "Contractor's Watch", which means someone who just recently got rich but not sophisticated enough to know other brands

Rolex or other haute horology watch maker brand is an art. You don't buy a 30k watch to tell time. If you want accuracy, you have your phone or can opt to buy a rm200 casio digital watch.

People who are willing to spend huge amount on watches just enjoy the amount of workmanship, attention and detail put into a small case which you can proudly display on your wrist and appreciate. It also acts as a conversation piece to other like minded individual.

Before I bought my first expensive watch I always told myself that I will never spend more than 2k on a watch but something changed after I got into this hobby

There will always be Fanboys and Haters,  I'm somewhere between that on rolex watches,  previously owned Steel and Gold Blue Dial Submariner and Datejust both Sold, No Regrets, I got fed up with being asked if the watch is "Real  rolex" . So now everytime I see someone else wears rolex, I too wonder if it is "Real"...hahaha😂
