rolex watches


Rolex is an outstanding company that has been synonymous with excellence and sophistication since its inception in 1908 by Mr. Hans Wilsdorf, a German. In 1908, when watchmakers are putting their own names on the watch dials, Wilsdorf wanted to create a brand name for his fine watches. A short, impressive, easy to pronounce name; Rolex was born.
The Rolex watch is very valuable for many reasons. They are extremely reliable and durable. They are also beautifully made, which is why this brand is a favourite among many watch collectors. As a result, pre-owned Rolex can resale for many thousands of dollars. You can find many of such pieces on sale at most eBay sites , a very popular hangout for watch collectors to buy/sell their ware. But rumour has it that Rolex has intentionally limit the supply of Rolex watches which is also another reason why their prices are always increasing pretty much like how Ferrari controls the product of their cars. Rolexes are often found in pristine condition, years after they were made. Rolex uses a Valjoux movements for its Cosmograph (a watch with stop watch functions), available in three sizes.
However, Rolex do manufacture some of their own movements (electronic and mechanical), including the movement for watches such as the Tudor. Replicas of the Rolex watch are very sought after, as the price is dramatically lower than the real thing. Rolex have long been known for their classy and bold designs, their accurate timekeeping, and their ability to manufacture a watch for every need and taste.
If you are buying a swiss watch, then you would be hard pushed to find one better than the Rolex. Unfortunately, due to its very strict control of its dealers, Rolex are only sold through retail outlets. For second watch watches, Ashford and PrincetonWatches are the only merchants we reviewed that are selling pre-owned watches.
