I think I do!

Got my first Submariner in 1991, and still enjoy wearing it today, after twenty years and having owned many different watches from different brands!

Always come back to the Sub, never get tired of it. Do you know any other product which has given you over such a long time this feeling of satisfaction?
(And I talk about products, nothing else....

)

Today, I own several Subs, and I like them all!

What do you girls and guys think, why is it that Rolex is so fascinating??

Opinions welcome!

They are a company with a storied past and make darn good watches!!!

karmatp · 19 January 2011, 05:55 AM

They are a go anywhere, do anything kind of watch, what more can we ask for.

It is the seductive curves of those Oysters... :-)

It is a combination of product design, quality, and exclusive distribution.

Rolesor · 19 January 2011, 06:15 AM

It's the classic of all classics for a reason my friend! Nice collection!

scribbler69 · 19 January 2011, 06:22 AM

In 1972 I bought my Rolex and married my wife. Still love 'em both.

JasoninDenver · 19 January 2011, 06:29 AM

I think I know....

The fact that my dad owned one and cherished it while he was alive.

The fact that the same watch now is the one material thing that I have to remind me of him.

The fact that I still feel a strong connection with him every time I wear the watch.

The fact that the modern Rolex I have today may remind someone of me years after I am gone.

This year I will buy my first Rolex and marry my fiance. Hope I'm in your position in 39 year

It is reliable and never let me down.

Chipmunk · 19 January 2011, 06:47 AM

A Rolex watch never goes out of style.

hacampbell1360 · 19 January 2011, 06:49 AM

All of the above.

The fact that my Rolex goes good with any outfit, even jeans and T shirt.

History, product design, quality, reliability.

Everytime I look at my watch, I start to smile.

Badfish179 · 19 January 2011, 09:45 AM

My Rolex is...a statement about who I am.

BAM54321 · 19 January 2011, 12:44 PM

It wouldn't have a crown if it wasn't the king.

I like the fact that my Rolex and I are building memories together. And, when I am long dead and gone, my loved ones will continue to build memories with my Rolex and maybe
Remember me and smile.

bemik · 19 January 2011, 01:34 PM

Always a beauty to see!!

TopNotchChach · 19 January 2011, 01:54 PM

Love mine!

timeisfathaoftruth · 19 January 2011, 03:14 PM

Because it always feels so good and looks so good....and is so functional....and never needs a battery....and because it feels special to see one in the wild.

Happy Anniversary, James.

Watches and bracelets built like tanks - no babying this watch, especially the sports models. No need to take it off to shower, sleep, golf, etc. Just look at it and you know the time, date, and the fact that you own one of the best timepieces ever built.

Who else could build so many watches while maintaining such quality? Heck - who could even build that many watches?

Rolex's loyal following is well earned indeed!!!

Minutehand · 19 January 2011, 03:33 PM

I agree that there is something different about Subs compared to other (non Rolex) diver watches. Not sure exactly what

Perhaps a combination of quality, design and comfort. Must admit, frequenting this forum also helps to boost my fondness of Rolex

Unfortunately, "those Oysters" aren't made with those "seductive curves" anymore.
