    a colleague of mine saw me surfing sgrolexclub and i showed her some examples of rolex divers and 47mm panerais.

    Her comment was:" these watches are machiam for people who are just starting off with life".

    I was stunned by her comment.

      Why stunned, my friend?

      She is not quite wrong. Rolex is known as a favourite for man in the street.
      It is therefore the most common "luxury" watch in the market.
      Thats probably what she meant.


      However, she probably is no watch guru either, that i can bet on.

      • Getting a Rolex is not like stock investing...

        Why would you ditch Rolex when everyone is in for one? this is no SGX you know?! Run when everyone is investing!!

        Also, Rolex is the most demanded watch in town and most produced too so I assume you will never get one?

          Or maybe these are too entry level for her?? AP PP VC JLC etc all within her league?

          • Hmm, don't mind people wearing the same watch but realised their new model releases year after year are +/- 2mm, change colour of bezel, change dial colour and change to expensive gold or plat for anniversary models, so I guess its reasonable to be bored of them.

            Personally I do like the Day-dates and Daytona, but seems like all good looking new releases are the over 30k gold watches, and such prices are stepping into the PP/AP/VC/JLC range so unless one is really concerned about losing less money compared to buying other watches, lots of other choices for rolex price.

              Sometimes, its not about the price.
              Its about liking what it stands for , the durability, wearability etc etc....

              however in a materialistic society of ours today, the price has become the barometer.

              So beware how we get influenced and how we make our judgement.
              Likewise, how we get offended.

              Take it easy and enjoy the simpler things

                Maybe she means people who are just starting off with life buy Rolex watches because they do not have a mind of their own. They are blindly following the crowd. They display no taste and style.

                      I thought if a lot people use, you should be proud because you buy the watch that a lot people like it.

                            I do know where you're coming from, day in day out, year in year out, etc Rolex design looks the same. But that's precisely the reason why they're doing so well. And that's because they stay as true as possible to the original make.

                            Yah, one can complain they're have changed too much over the year to lay claim to this honor but IMHO, they've done well in this respect.

                            How about switching to vintage Rolexes for a change??

                              Then you trying to be humble to say you respect multi-millionaires who wear casios.

                              A millionaire who wear casio can act humble. A coffee-shop uncle with Rolex could be worn with love given from a filial son or with his hard earn money. It's their pride on their purchase, you have no right to bash them with trash talk. And i think a millionaire also don't need your fake respect.

                              Absolutely. We should respect everyone whether they wear a watch or not!
