Rolex - Hmm, not really sure

Hmm, not really sure

First of all I wouldn't compare Rolex to Volvo, but more to Mercedes Benz; quality, but quite an obvious choice (safe and sure, but people could easily mistake you for being a show off). Don't know if Panerai is such a fun watch either; thinking of the origins of Panerai it was no fun intended. I guess if you want a fun watch there is plenty of cheaper stuff around. Rolex, as much as Panerai make high quality watches and as far as I know tough and reliable. They are both watches you can wear as dress and at more outdoor activities. But I know what you mean and I would rather compare brands as Rolex, Omega, Panerai and maybe even Tag Heuer to brands as JLC, Patek, Vacheron and Lange. The first of course the watches to live with on a daily basis (just wear them and they will become even nicer with the scratches and dents) and the latter more dressy watches you probably don't want to get scratched at all.

Just my thoughts.

Best,

Starman

it is easier to accumulate watches than cars...and most people here would not be able to chose ONE watch only ;-) Cheers Jeff

Can't only choose only one car, either... :)

Hi Jan J.... a really great question.

Hi Jan J, Good question... but I think many people will not understand where you are coming from. Cars are like Horology... many think a good watch is ... what their friends wear.... those that know.. might think it is something else. But as you say.... y...

Rolex is like ...... a tractor...(good one)

Hi Jack Some very great thoughts on cars and watches. I always learned a Rolex is like a tractor, good old Fendt (German quality) or even better a good 4x4 (take the Toyota Landcruiser 100 series). You can take her everywhere without any problems and hazz...
