A lot of people who don’t like Rolex seem to buy cheap watches that look like them. Odd that.

I’m sure the many Rolex owners and enthusiasts on the forum will be impressed with your insight.

It is interesting that members on here have such strong opinions on other peoples spending habits and assume that these people are complete idiots lacking any ability to make informed decisions for themselves.
I think it's interesting that many Rolex owners are so incredibly defensive about the brand - after-all, if it is The Greatest, surely that speaks for itself?
In any case, Rolex themselves constantly display their utter indifference to the opinions of all of us - Fans and Sceptics alike - and treat both groups with equal contempt.
Personally, I think a Rolex Submariner is by far the finest £1,000 dive watch that money can('t) buy, but I do resent the £9,000 donation towards their advertising costs...
But when you sell it, the buyer will refund you your donation.Personally, I think a Rolex Submariner is by far the finest £1,000 dive watch that money can('t) buy, but I do resent the £9,000 donation towards their advertising costs...

Possibly true, E&OE, but I will have had to be ritually humiliated by some jumped-up little turd in an off-the-peg designer suit, be kept waiting for an indefinite length of time, tolerate being patronised by a different jumped-up turd should they decide to honour me by selling me a wristwatch, endure owning a watch I don't like and which I'm afraid to wear for fear of both getting stabbed and devaluing it, and then hope to sell it without it being stolen on its way to someone who may or may-not be a scammer...
It seems simpler, less degrading, and entirely more fun to accept that Owning Things comes at a cost, and thus to buy somehting I actually like
You've got it back to front. The ones who buy Rolex are the ones who have less money and are more afraid of losing it.
Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
Quite so!
Oh... But wait...
...and this from a source that is strongly motivated to hype prices...
What's this telling us then?Quite so!

Be interesting to see similar price curves from other brands.
I'm guessing that won't happen!

I thought the investment thread was in G&D and this is watch talk.

Not much when you look at the 126710 BLRO on SC
He doesn't know.
Anyway, if you buy a Rolex and keep it for a while, you can always get your money back. That's free watches for life. Jake Ehrlich said that.

Of my three 32xx watches, two (BLRO and SDc) experienced the amplitude problem and were 'repaired' under warranty (the BLRO went back twice as the initial 'fix' wasn't done correctly). So far, the LVc is fine. I have removed my name from any further 32xx models until Rolex (i.e. Rolex watch repairers on TRF) confirm that the issue is fixed.
I think that’s probably true.
That and just don’t buy one if your only concern is selling it, but that goes for absolutely anything.
Cant comment on why people buy or dont buy a watch but what I do find strange about these brands is they do actually have some of their own original designs but they get considerably less interest on forums.
Could it be they just aren’t as popular maybe? I don’t know, and am only guessing as to why, because some of them are great looking watches.
