Rolex is best watch brand but lousiest in accuracy??

[dpkong]

Rolex, the best watch brand? Lol. 

As a watch, Rolex may not be THE best but it is certainly one of the best out there. Movement is reliable, case is tough, keeps time well when properly adjusted and overall very robust.

As a brand, Rolex could very well be the best. Nearly everyone knows what a Rolex is even if they've never owned one. As the OP has mentioned, even though the accuracy is off, the owner still adores it so that speaks a lot about how successful the brand is.

Although now i tend to prefer other brands than rolex, and my next purchase would not be a rolex. but if i could only have 1 watch on all functions. it would be Rolex.

Lol what the hell "they managed without oxygen" .....

"They managed without oxygen"! Haha!!
Probably some kind of alien breathing carbon dioxide instead of oxygen.

With a quartz? Battery works very well even in low temperatures? Or was it kept warm by body heat?

The air up there is very thin, so you need o2 to survive and reach the peak of Everest. Reinhold Messner was the first man to climb Everest without the aid of o2 tanks.

Who say Rolex is lousiest in accuracy? 

[swleong]

Yes, Rolex is indeed the lousiest in accuracy.

Under any circumstances, how can a Mercedes outrun a Ferrari? How can Nico Rosberg has more points than Kimi Raikkonen?

Surely Rolex has done a bad time keeping jobs in F1.

Anyway being said, its all about the watch and person handling it. If the person are hardcore type then he will adjust dead accurate with tiny room for deviation. Nowdays most of the movement are capable of getting good rate. The question is do they have the time and money to ensure that these movement run accurately?

quoting from peter speake-marin "rolex is the most visible watch"

quoting from woon say ngiew (translated from cantonese) "you crazy or what? spent so much on lousy steel"

we all know who is peter speake-marin but who is this woon say ngiew? he is my father 

both of them are people i admire but in different matters.

back to rolex accuracy, i find rolex is more accurate than a lot of other luxury watches but i don't buy rolex for its accuracy.

for me, it is a big no no and also i find it very irritating when a watch minute hand moved when i push the crown. to come across luxury time pieces with this flaw is very disheartening. rolex don't have this problem so i am happy with it.

alrighty algeria vs russia is starting soon. cheers.
