A Rolex watch has, although not meaning to be derogatory to the firm Rolex in any way as they didn’t intend this to happen, a certain amount of snob value.

To wear a Rolex is to wear quite a lot of prestige on your wrist and have people wondering how much you earn a year. But putting aside the prestige and snob value, it is also in its own right a very good and durable watch. A Rolex watch can often pass down from grandfather to son and then onto grand son without ever having needed to be repaired and that is quite something to boast about. It has always had the reputation of durability, reliability and excellent craftsmanship.

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual, which was first manufactured in 1931, is maybe the all time favourite of most people and it is interesting to note that in all the years that it has been around, save for the colour of the face, it has hardly been changed at all and despite the fact that this watch has not followed the trends of fashion it is still very fashionable as it has a design that is ageless.

There are other watches on the market that are also very reliable and maybe don’t cost quite as much but it’s just not the same because unfortunately they don’t have the name Rolex and that is what seems to matter the most.

And one last point which is always very good to remember is that if you already have the luck to have a Rolex in your possession it will retain its value for many years to come and is in fact one of the few items under the heading of jewellery that does in fact retain its value if not gain in value.
