Hope you're kidding
It has nothing to do with respecting Rolex or not, the brand just does not belong here,
for the very strong reason you mentioned yourself.
If a brand like Cartier, with it's outstanding CPCP collection, great history and strong models,
is not even getting a forum here, why the #&@% Rolex.

Rolex forum? A straw poll.
In prior posts, I noted my respect for the Rolex brand but argued that it would be a bad idea to start a Rolex forum here, largely because it would attract the wrong sort. I confess I am having second thoughts about that. Many of the people on this site, ...

Isn't it possible, Geo, that . . .
. . . a Purists Rolex forum would be constrained by the emphasis on propriety and form that is evident elsewhere on these pages? Curiously, Art
Is it that we like the brand but don't like their customers
I am having a little trouble getting my head around the subject in pragmatic way. I have to admit that when I see someone prancing around in a very loud rolex it too am apprehensive of that person and it validates the negative. Having said that, I like ma...
I am a BIG Rolex fan...and I don't think you need a
Rolex forum. I could argue there might be too many forums already. If this place is about the art and technology of watches...it doesn't matter who makes the watch...and you don't need a specific forum to ask a question about a specific watch. Yes, Rolex ...
There is a very simple way to achieve selectivity
Simply use the edit option and just pick the forum(s) you want to see. home.watchprosite.com you will also have a one click view to see all post in that selection. home.watchprosite.com Rather than eliminate the choice for others who may want forum x or y...
We have seen quite a few Rolex threads recently...
And they have all been pretty well behaved (so far). Many of our members own, or have owned, Rolex and some collect vintage Rolexes. So the interest is definitely there. Now that I'm able to personalize the brands menu and use the MyView feature I never s...
Ah, Carl, the Paneristis are the envy of the rest of WISdom . . .
. . . their clannishness and devotion are inexplicable, but at least they're good sports. I think Al's and Geo's point is that Rolex fans have a reputation for taking an "us-vs-them" attitude towards the rest of the community, and I have no reason to doub...
Why would we expect Dr No to be a pessimist?
By your very name and nature, sir! By your name and nature........ tee hee MTF
Are you kidding, Rolex Forum... all those wrong types?
'Gentlemen' Now for those of you that read my ravings, and have not heard the story about those wrong types, like the ones that drive Ferraris and wear those flashy Rolexs..... I will tell you the story. A man had driven his red Ferrari to the village and...
Jack smiley face
Jack, To make a smiley face, just type : - ) without the spaces and the system will do the rest Regarding your comments, please note that we COULD have a Rolex discussion or forum; it's NOT ruled out as a "policy". The main discussion here is revolving ab...
the same not true for Patek or Lange?
Last I checked, the relevant forums for those two brands in the rival website are much more highly populated than their counterparts here. The question isn't quantity, but quality. And that's what we have over the rival website. The same would probably be...
Intimidated?
Dear Chromatic Fugue, I may have no rebuttal to your kind observations about our other fora. Mayhaps, we are a little intimidated by Big Green? They don't seem keen to have their insides bared for the world to see. We have never seen the inside of Rolex -...
Thanks MTF for the info on Smiley Faces....re your
comments of " All that can be said, is already being said, on other dedicated websites for Rolex." I take your point, but it is worth noting that after looking at several sites I decided to make and "Tag" this site in my Favourite File.....because I have ...
