To start off with, I don't own a Rolex but a few of my buddies do and all of them tell me they want or need another one! I'm new to watch collecting as a hobby but I'm not new to watches, I've been wearing one every day for the past 39 years. For the past 30 years I've known that the "gold standard" of watches has been a Rolex. hand6.gifhand6.gif I would guess that the Submariner has to be the most copied design in the watch industry and almost everyone knows that their own dive watch looks like a Submariner. If you were to go to a store that sells higher end watches i.e. Omega, Tag Heuer, Oris, Breitling and etc. I bet it won't take the salesperson much time to say "this brand is as good as and looks like a Rolex". Well, I don't believe that to be true. I believe with a Rolex you get what you pay for and that is quality, history and an heirloom. woohoo.gif If I had the means or more correctly made owning a Rolex my number two priority (my family is #1) in life would I buy one; maybe? I was a military pilot so I would love to own an IWC Big Pilots Watch!!! perfect.gif I believe that Rolex has not priced themselves out of business nor do I believe they should have an economy watch. This has been a fun post to follow, I really enjoyed that there was no name calling, just an entertaining discussion, cheers. woohoo.gif
