Iconic designs, honored heritage, and I love the look of certain models. When I got into watches I thought Rolex would be all daimonds a pearls.... turns out, that's not what they market. They do have diamonds and pearls, but the fact is the watches are tough as nails, have incredibly quiet movements for automatics, and still they are awesome pieces of very highly-detailed jewelry.

Among other fine automatic watches, their quiet movements set them apart, but their intricate details help to seal the deal. Their elegant and iconic designs and attention to detail are icing on top of the cake. Rolex formulated the iconic designs in the industry, with some rare exceptions, and they continue to be at the tip top when it comes to finish and functionality.

No. A good Panerai is always an option -- just make sure you know the intricacies of the watch you're buying.

I like Rolex because I find it to be classic, always in style, evolutionary.

Great overall watch that doesn't change dramatically in style, which helps with resale value. Since you don't lose much or can gain due to ever increasing cost, you can wear your savings and always be pretty close to liquid.

In the end though, I just love the look, feel, and performance more than others I've tried.
