Watch up to last 3-4 minutes of the video, he gives his personal opinion of buying Rolex, which I'm 100% agree of.
IMHO, Rolex is just a good watch, not luxury watch, not the level of PP, RM, ALS.... But Rolex has strong brand, so if u r buying Rolex to make u :
1. look better
2. feel richer
3. upgrade status
4. ................
All of above r WRONG. I'm not saying u can't do that, but as long as it makes u happy, why not?!
Y O L O.
Happy Father's day.

ALL of these things are valid. Any reason you personally come up with is valid, and don't censor yourself when nobody is looking.

The way I see it, I have a Rolex made in 1966 the year I was born. The watch looks brand new. Nice and showroom shiny. But if you look closely at the bezel, you can see where nicks and dings had been buffed out over the years.

I am the caretaker of this watch now. It's not about me. Somebody else will one day love - and hopefully cherish and care for - this watch when I am done doing so.

I hope this answers your question, sir.

Unfortunately they are the best watch for me at this price point. I have a smaller wrist and most other competitors of Rolex wear larger than them. For me the branding is actually a downside, wearing one can elicit questions of "is that real" etc which you get less of with GS and Omega. Also for some of my travels (when they're allowed again) I prefer not to wear Rolex.
