Is the Watch Journal boycotting Rolex?

I have recently started subscribing to the Watch Journal and as I flipped through the 168 or so pages I did not see Rolex mentioned on any of them. This is the 2nd month with not a mention, I also recieve Watch time and they do have articles on Rolex. Is it me are do other readers of this Watch Journal feel jipped.http://watchjournal.com

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember reading a post a while back stating that "Watch Time" has a tie-in with Rolex.

Unless there is much change in Rolex, it wouldn't surprise me that there is no mention of Rolex from time to time.

I to read alot on watches and what I have come up with is that although some brands are much more exclusive than Rolex they lack the well known reconigtion that Rolex has. So in a sense that is why they have more articles and ads because they are trying to catch up to Rolex, you need look no farther than Panerai, even though they produce some of the best watches they are playing catch up in the public reconigtion department because of their reintroduction in the 80's.

I love what you have collected so far. I noticed that the watch journal writes alot about Panerai even if its about a watch with no new advancements. They continue to talk about how well it was made and the history of it, all I was saying is that Rolex deserve the same reconigtion.
I personally never get tired of hearing about anything rolex, after all the watch journal is suppose to be for those who love watches.
