The answer is simple. You will never regret owning a Rolex for so many reasons. Head and shoulders above anything else in my watch cases. To compare them to Omega and Oris is just not even apples and apples. While nice watches, they do not come close to the quality inherent in a Rolex.
The waterproof/water resistant watch as we know is directly attributable to Rolex R&D.
First watch to track two time zones.
Invented HRV along with Doxa.
First watch to achieve chronometer certification and they sell more chronometers than anyone.
Sure guys with ducats buy them for status symbols. Sure they advertise a lot. Sure they haven't made sweeping design changes in years but why bother when you are creating some of the finest timepieces available?
I would contend exactly the opposite of your query. Rolex is not making any mistakes and their track record shows it. It would be a mistake to offer a budget Rolex. they offer Air Kings and then you have the Tudors. To offer a stripped down Rolex would be folly.
I'm glad all the haters are staying put. Own a Rolex and then talk to me about it. I'm no man of any great means and I made it happen for me because I wanted it for years.
And please don't hide your Rolex. Wear it, use it, just don't be a nut job. To shelter it too much is a waste. When the time comes mine will go back to Rolex and come home new again. Its an heirloom piece my son will pass on to his son hopefully.
