Rolex Watches-the best watches in the world

Rolex is the best known and most popular slender watch brand in the world. Rolex has long been known as a maker of premium watches. They discovered and invented some major watch concepts, such as the 1st "certified chronometer," the first effective "waterproof" and dustproof watch casing, the first wristwatch with an automatic changing date, and the techniques used in mass-manufacturing of superior watches.

It was in the 1980's that their reputation went from stellar to astronomical from being broadly publicized as the luxury wristwatch of choice of the so-called 'yuppie' movement of young, affluent people who enjoyed conspicuous consumption as a indication of their newfound status.

Both the people who embraced and those who decried the yuppie image were very effective in making the name of Rolex a household word. A stainless steel DateJust model that sold new for around US $900 in 1981 rose to US $2350 by 1991, despite only nominal changes to the product. Models in finer metals took even more dramatic increases, leaving many existing owners to joke about the newer models now being made of "unobtanium."

There are several gossips about Rolex Watches that need to be exploded:

• Gossip: Rolex watches are individually handmade watches--Most Rolex watches are mass-produced by highly efficient factory machines using a number of techniques discovered and patented by Rolex. Rolex makes in the approximatively 1,000,000 watches a year. They do have some unique models and limited editions that are handcrafts.

• Gossip: A Rolex watch takes a year to make--While Rolex has declared this in their advertising, they have never explained any evidence for this claim. This is senseless advertising fuzz to give the illusion that there is a craftsman working over your watch for a year to bring it to perfection. This is intended to dark the fact that they are,generally, mass-produced.

• Gossip: Rolex watches are the most accurate watches in the world-- false. A $25 Casio will tell time just as well if not better. Spending thousands of dollars on a watch buys you the additional jewelry features of the watch. It does give you a more accurate timepiece.

• Gossip: Rolex watches are a good buy because they have a high resale value--While they do sell used at a higher discount price of their original price than many other brands, that does not mean they are always good investments or safer purchases than other watches. You WILL lose money on almost any watch--Rolex or otherwise--you purchase new and later resell.

Well, are Rolex Watches the best? That depends entirely on your wishes, feeling, and what you want to get out of owning a fine watch. Rolex watch are extremely good watches with immense popularity and recognizability. But they are not clearly the best watch, best investment, or only fine choice you can make when purchasing an expensive wristwatch.

It just looks like your preffered watch, has the same design, but costs much less.
The best watch purchase decision is one where you research all the pertinent information, but in the end make the decision based on what you feel most comfortable with.
