jokes aside, i think this is correct and this is what Rolex considers proper. Rolex is a singular proper noun. Rolex is the name of a company that makes Rolex watches. There are no "Rolexes."
But for fun, I like "Rolices" b/c Index --> Indices. |

Not to specifically point you out or call you out in any way. Rolex is a trademark, not a noun. As such, should not be plural. So, the correct plural form would be Rolex watches. The OP could have spent literally 30 seconds on google to learn this.

Personally I like using "Rolex" as a plural.
And I have no knowledge whether or not it is grammatically correct.

Again, 30 seconds on google.
Proper Trademark Usage What are trademarks, service marks and trade names? A trademark is a word, name, symbol or device, or a combination of them, adopted and used by someone in business in order to identify their goods and to distinguish those goods from the goods manufactured or sold by others. A service mark is used to identify services rather than tangible products. A trade name is the company name or its abbreviation under which business activity is conducted. For example, COCA-COLA and THE COCA-COLA COMPANY are trade names when used to reference the company. However, COKE, COCA-COLA, COCA-COLA CLASSIC, DIET COKE and COCA-COLA ZERO are trademarks or service marks when used on or in connection with goods and services to identify those goods or services as being from a single source. Trademarks also function as a symbol of the integrity of the trademark owner and as an assurance to the purchasing public of the consistent quality of the article or service bearing the trademark. Guidelines for use: In order to keep your trademarks strong and distinct you must be vigilant and follow these guidelines: Use the trademark as an adjective. Always use the trademark as a proper adjective, not a noun. Whenever possible a trademark should be followed by the common descriptive name (noun) of the product it modifies. (“APPLE computer;” “TIVO digital video recorder.”) This should be done at least the first time the trademark appears in printed material. The word “brand” may also be used to reduce the possibility that the trademark will be thought of as the generic name for the product, or a line of products. When used, the word “brand” should always appear in small print. (“LEVI’S brand jeans;” “NIKE brand running shoes.”) A trademark should not be used as a common descriptive adjective nor as a verb. (Incorrect: “Please XEROX this report.”) Highlight the trademark. A trademark should be used in a manner which will distinguish it from the surrounding text. Capitalize trademarks completely (PIZZA HUT), use initial caps with quotes (“Pizza Hut”), use italics, bolder-faced type, different font, or a different color to create distinction. (Pizza Hut) At a minimum use initial caps (Pizza Hut). The generic product name (pizza, shoes, jeans, computer) should not be capitalized. Avoid the possessive or plural. A trademark is not the name of a product and therefore it cannot “possess” anything, such as attributes. (Incorrect: “The MARRIOTT’s advantage is in its service.”) Only the generic product which the trademark modifies can possess anything. (Correct: The MARRIOTT hotel’s advantage is in its service.”) Likewise, since a trademark is not a noun, it should never be used in the plural form. (Incorrect: “Try our NOKIAs” or “Our NOKIAs are the best”. Correct: “Try our NOKIA cell phones” or “Our NOKIA brand cell phones are the best.”) |
