It's the easiest way to show people that I have money to waste.

In reality it's one of several brands that I have always admired. That's why I wear a Rolex, sometimes.

I wouldn't apply for a visa from the exclusive country whose club would exclude me.

I wear mine when I am taking a break from my favourite rotations, and where I am going it will not get attention.

I’m not a rich man and actually my Rolex 126660 is worth more then my truck.

The prestige of the brand, the elegance of the design and the durability!

I can answer it on a personal level.

1. Design
2. Durability/Build Quality
3. History
4. Value Retention

Rolex have my favorite designs, they are built like tanks, have an amazing history behind them, and they retain value.

Beauty, design, durability, history, brand market penetration. As a tennis player, I love the sponsorship of majors.
