I'm sure the reasons for buying a Rolex are as varied as the models themselves, but what motivates you to buy Rolex?

Art 1 · 6 February 2010, 07:59 AM

I bought my first because I needed a watch and my wife liked the blue dial on the Sub.

I just like 'em. They scratch that itch.

For me, it was the quality and craftsmanship they put into each watch.

ersnyder · 6 February 2010, 08:09 AM

I like them AND I can!

HL65 · 6 February 2010, 08:11 AM

Why not? Love their SS Sports watches.

TattooedGQ · 6 February 2010, 08:13 AM

Great looking watches, quality time pieces, and just a touch of the cool factor.

MURRAY · 6 February 2010, 08:16 AM

Didn't think anyone else was going to reward me with one so I rewarded myself as something I felt I deserved.....

There are many reasons:
Beauty
Quality
Prestige
Value
Investment
The reasons can go on & on, pretty much the same reasons you buy anything else.

No seriously whenever I look around me all these imperfections around me it depresses me and then I looked at the craftsmanship of a Rolex case and dial and it reminds me that there is still that little hope in this imperfect world. It's therapeutic.

Nairn1980 · 6 February 2010, 08:01 PM

Rolex is THE watch for me for a few reasons :

I dont make a lot of money, but what I do buy, I like the best quality and nicest products where possible.
Rolex watches look stunning, are ageless, and have that certain luxury.

However if they did not hold their value I could not afford to buy them and upgrade every so often.

Their biggest plus for me above all else is that if you pick the right model and pay the right price owning Rolex watches is a relatively low-cost hobby as the right watch will always keep its value. I think this is also partly due to Rolex increasing their prices so often.

Cheers,
Nairn

Jason71 · 6 February 2010, 01:23 PM

Because it takes a year to make each watch from Rolex

Dr. Robert · 6 February 2010, 01:28 PM

Rolex....a great watch, innovative, pioneers.......& 'cause they gave British pows during WWII Rolexes & told them they could pay after the war....very cool & classy.

JohnBoy · 6 February 2010, 01:38 PM

Watchdog · 6 February 2010, 01:47 PM

Because it was my dream purchase--literally the ONLY luxury item I have EVER wanted--ever since I was a little boy and saw the Rolex watches advertised in National Geographic.
