What does Rolex represent to you?

Rolex to me is synonymous with:

-Quality
-Timeless
-Excellence

All great responses here.

But one word sums it up for me. Timeless.

Over and over again I am surprised with how consistent and respectful Rolex has been to its watches.

I like the fact that it stays true to its heritage.

Keep in mind that I only recently found my love for Rolex.

And I am glad I did

A great value.

I know most people wouldn't associate Rolex with that. But it's an all in-house Swiss watch with tons of history and pedigree. So many styles that dress up and down so easily, and truly durable enough for everyday usage in any conditions most people would face.

It's one of the few watch brands where almost anything in that lineup you could buy and have it be your only watch for the rest of your life.

Quality, precision and classic styling all in a single functional piece that will out live me...

All the things I am not, so if I had to pick one word to describe it perfectly for my sensibilities JEALOUSY!!!
