What does it mean to you to be a Rolex owner ?

[Henry F.]

Hi,

I'm just thinking about what it means to be to be a Rolex owner and it would be interesting to read your thoughts. Of course it's a bit exposing but let's share :-)

Well, I'm now 34 years old, have a nice appartement where I live with my wife and kid. We have our car and are financially stable enough for me to buy a Rolex. It hasn't always been this way for me. I remember being an adolescent looking at the ad window at the crazy Rolex prices and be like...wow, those are expensive.

hm, funny how things go.

So to some extend my Rolex is a cherry on a cake when I look at my life now. It's the proof that I'm just fine.

On the other hand of course it's mighty fine watch. Very well build for a mass production product and probably the top of the line for it.

But still, it's somehow just a watch that remembers me time, date and helps to keep track easily of the minutes sometimes.

So, I'd say it's a balance between a tool, and a statement for myself. I'm not trying to impress anybody.

How about you ?

Cheers
