Any jeweller worth repairing your Rolex with will be accredited by Rolex themselves, which is also the only way to get genuine parts. On topic: yes, but only if you don't count the Apple Watch, which is a contentious subject in the watch community. Even non watch people know of Rolex, it's one of the few universal signs of luxury along with things like luxury cars or mansions. On top of that, the Submariner is the most copied watch in the world, both in terms of fakes and watches that draw a clear inspiration. As nice as they are though, they're 100% mass produced.

Divers are my favorite kinds of watches (I have a Breitling SuperOcean myself) and I wanted to extend that to him. As for an Apple Watch, it can't be a status symbol if everyone has one. Status symbols imply exclusivity and an Apple Watch has none. is that 200 m water resistance? iirc those have no exhibition caseback and that can easily be done, 200m.

Their boss Nick Hayek is very popular here in Switzerland. Why? Because he doesn't care too much about the stock market and what so-called business analysts want him to do. There was an interview with him only few days ago where he said "At Swatch, we don't want to sell stocks, we want to sell watches". That's all you need to know about him. Selling affordable watches of decent quality has always been their main focus. It paid off and still does, because people have trust in Hayek and his way of handling the company. --- Like: great videogames, peaceful discussions, open-minded people Dislike: console wars, trolls, haters, review-bombing, negativity <cite>gu-gohan posted [p:979701622] in Isn't Role...
