BUT..whatever you and I have said about Rolex is true.<br />To my pleasant surprise, they have improved their watches to the N th degree in 2011.<br /><br />The Rolex of 2011 and 2012 is not the same.<br /><br />However, the consumer is only aware of their cosmetic changes.<br /><br />One thing remains...their dissociated service!<br />I think it is done on purpose.<br />More later.<br /><br />However..the fact that (1) they place their watches in small insignificant boxes is good, for a Rolex. (2) They place TONS of antiscratch stickers and plastic all over the new products (3) their attention to QC is EXTREME (4) They do not bullshit anymore (5) they do not entertain journalists, I am glad (6) they do not allow visits to factory is good,but only for Rolex (7) Rolex remains not a watch, but a comodity and that is good and important.<br /><br />After saying all that...well I hate old rolex before 2011...and I like Rolex after 2011.<br /><br />But it is far far from a status symbol for me, but it is a status symbol for 99% of the world. That statement is in itself, a terrible snobbish one for me to make, but it is from the heart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18318483995863868788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080955458530874127.post-58802953785894226342012-11-16T20:48:19.466-08:002012-11-16T20:48:19.466-08:00In a perfect world Rolexes would be reliable, usef...In a perfect world Rolexes would be reliable, useful and possibly even slightly affordable. They would not be the international symbol of the vacuous social climber. They would not be another accessory for superficial boneheads who wish to impress other superficial boneheads with real or imagined wealth.<br /><br />Yesterday I was wearing an old shirt, ragged boots and a 60-year old Rolex. I am dressed the same today, but I am wearing a 35-year old Timex. Somewhere I have a photo of my Tudor sitting in a pool of blood on my arm after I got spiked by a tree branch when riding my bicycle. It was my fault for going too close. The tudor gets worn swimming, having been resealed recently. It is nice that it gets used.<br /><br />And seriously, it doen't matter. I love the fact that watches are little machines in impregnable little boxes, but a lot of people get hung up on perceived value - cachet, style, allure, coolness, whatever. <br /><br />Expensive watches are alleged to impress a whole lot of people who simply aren't worth talking to. Interesting watches, whether a GMT-master, a Speedsonic, a seiko 6138, an A Schild alarm, may be expensive or cheap, but they have technical interest.<br /><br />To conclude, my old alarm watches won't impress anybody except real watch lovers. And my wonderful old casios? My ragged old seikos?<br /><br />If trhe worst comes to worst, I will have to wear a newer shirt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080955458530874127.post-61150696874364099292012-08-02T09:25:06.090-07:002012-08-02T09:25:06.090-07:00This is unfortunate I always wanted to own a Rolex...This is unfortunate I always wanted to own a Rolex but now I guess I will have to shop for another brand.Anthony Joneshttp://www.uhrwelt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080955458530874127.post-30334667693076125062012-08-02T09:20:40.076-07:002012-08-02T09:20:40.076-07:00If I were to buy a Rolex it would have to be a cla...If I were to buy a Rolex it would have to be a classic pre owned watch it would probably be much more expensive but it would be a better value.Anthony Joneshttp://www.uhrwelt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080955458530874127.post-85801610038852367082012-07-10T17:23:47.744-07:002012-07-10T17:23:47.744-07:00Pardon all spelling mistakes!Pardon all spelling mistakes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18318483995863868788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080955458530874127.post-56459033464560228102012-07-10T17:23:03.837-07:002012-07-10T17:23:03.837-07:00Again..correct.

I like the...Shyan, I think Rolex still attracts me. I like the quality, but it is a fact that if you were to CLOSELY examine a Rolex and a Grand Seiko or the Seiko Galante, the Rolex is DEAD.<br />However, society being what it is today, and I am not an exception...is that Rolex has a cache of quality and status.<br />I would still love to show off a Rolex saru GMT.<br />BUT..that said, the recent design of the Rolex Yachtmaster 2 is exactly a Seiko watch.Period.<br />What I still cannot stand at all about Rolex is the attitude of the upper management. They seem to, in my NOT humble opinion, have no sense of humility, and have probably NO idea of good manners, and deep down..they are bullies.<br />I can read their minds. Right now, if they even bother to read what I write, and they do...because they have often (I have heard) objected to the editors of magazines I used to write for...about personal comments I made about them.<br />Chuckles. That's the whole idea, I AM being personal.<br />They are not the ONLY ones, the others are Jaguar in Singapore. There was a day, I recall, and being me...I walked into a Jag showroom to buy a car...right off the shelf. The idiot, wjo was then the GM of the retailer, refused to give me a brochure. Because, again being me...I looked as if I could not afford one. Well...I just walked across the road, or down the road..and bought a Porsche. They, Porsche, understand humility.<br />So funny.<br />I sometimes get the idea...I guess that many Rolex customers are VERY obnoxious too...and they treat the sales people like shit..because they can afford a Rolex.<br />So I guess it is a way to maintain mental health for the sales people.<br />ANYWAY...who the hell cares!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18318483995863868788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080955458530874127.post-587913161944479032012-07-09T09:56:10.837-07:002012-07-09T09:56:10.837-07:00I have long gave up on Rolex as a brand...major pr...I have long gave up on Rolex as a brand...major price hike consistently over the years w/o so much of a clue of innovation!Shyannoreply@blogger.com
