Anyone out there use the word Rolex as singular and plural? I think it is a word similar to Lynx where Rolex and Rolexes can be used interchangeably. I for one, think that owning many Rolex can be a cool thing...

I've used "Rolexes" to describe more than one,

and "Rolexii" when being a smart a$$.

I use Rolex as the plural.

mfer · 3 May 2010, 11:48 AM

Hmmm I've heard both used, and normally use Rolexes. Spell check likes it at least!

sleddog · 3 May 2010, 12:00 PM

I usually write Rolex's.......

Grama and spelling has never been my strong asset though.

I could say "My husband and I both have a Rolex watch" and "we have 2 Rolexes in our household" interchangeably.

BarkMaster · 3 May 2010, 12:57 PM

Y'all can be singular or plural as well. ;)

Dr. Robert · 3 May 2010, 01:06 PM

Rolex, singular.....Rolexes, plural.

Lion · 3 May 2010, 01:41 PM

I am grateful to own two Rolexes.....

Atl · 3 May 2010, 02:27 PM

Two here and one on the way! A Pepsi GMT and a new Subbie date, with a Deep Sea coming soon!

wildsidemtb · 3 May 2010, 04:04 PM

Two and a one or two or three on the way

BASSETHOUNDS · 3 May 2010, 05:45 PM

Well I think it should be Roleges :
If we take the latin words like Rex ( king ) and Lex ( Law ) both the nominative plurals of these words take "es" and the x becomes a "g" ??? I goes that is not going to go down well , is it ?
