You have 17k posts here yet find it "hard to disagree with" some Youtube clickbait vid on the Fall of Rolex? What say you?

Rolex, down fall?, where is that happening at? ??? Maybe on the moon. Not here…
They sell everything they make and even that CPO program is selling well even though the prices are insane. The King does not have any worries and anyone that says so, has no idea what they are talking about. Just click bait video, there is allot of that on YouTube..There are some really stupid videos talking about this and that. All Negative.. |

Objectively, despite the fanboy dismissal on the thread, I agree JP that most of what he says isn't wrong, and the rest of it is his subjective opinion, which some (most) on here may not agree with, but that doesn't make it wrong. I have watches that are just as well made, do more, and cost significantly less than my Rolexes. Is a $30,000 handbag objectively better than a £3,000 handbag? Of course not. I'd also say his comments about availability pre covid are not correct for the UK and most of Europe (about which I can comment) What is apparent, however, is that whilst much of what he says isn't wrong, most of what he says objectively is irrelevant, and his subjective opinion is just that, his opinion. The good news for anyone who buys a Rolex and thinks it sucks, is that unlike any of The Swatch Group products, they'll be able to move on their Rolex without taking much of a financial hit. So even if Rolex watches do suck, no one actually cares

2) For many that is true. Cartier, for example, are much, much better. 3) They mostly share the same general case design (either rounded or squared off) and bracelets. A day date looks like a datejust. Yachtmasters, Subs, SD, DS and GMT Masters all look pretty much the same. Dial's aside, Air King's, OP's and Explorers look pretty much the same. Only Daytona's and Explorer IIs really stand alone (notwithstanding the same bracelet). 4) That's correct 5) Clearly not everyone has one but there are a lot in circulation (because of 1 above) Most of that is objectively correct. But as I said above its irrelevant because most consumers don't care.

They became too popular, profitable and the best watch brand ever. That was their downfall. Lol

Click bait trash seeking attention and seemingly getting it as the video does the publicity rounds on forums like this one. I didn’t even watch it since I don’t want to participate in the farse. No thanks.
Rolex has an enviable business and business mantra many would love to achieve.

Rolex on the other hand has lost my business. Their strategy is great for AD's but bad for buyers. Pushing customers to the gray market to overspend on a watch, or promoting years long waiting lists doesn't work for me. |
