Second Opinions: Are There Too Few Rolex Or Too Many Millionaires?
I don't associate Rolex as a millionaires watch.
But more of an accomplishment watch. You've worked hard to get to point x and it's a good watch to buy and celebrate and wear for the rest of your life type watch. I feel that a lot of Rolex collectors aren't like us they are not acquiring several of them...
This is exactly right
Rolex makes some of the best (if not the best) watch for the price (MSRP). You don't need to be a millionaire to buy one. The supply gets caught up by dealers, including authorized dealers, who hoard them and sell them on the grey market. Everyone rags on...
Are there too few Rolexes or too many credit cards?
One worries about people getting in over their heads chasing assets that they think can only appreciate.

If you look at the image I attached, you see that Chrono24 has almost 90,000 Rolex watches for sale! Compared to MB&F that has 38 watches for sale! As you see, there is more than enough watches but not at the price point that you want, well if you want a ...

Time will tell how this this all shakes out.

Rolex? Really?
I am laughing... I have worn a Rolex since the ripe old age of 13, since way back in 1968. It is an Air-King - 5500. A tool watch if there ever was one. I would guess a fair number of folks on this forum didn't even know what a Rolex was in 1968. Was I a ...
Yes …for me it’s Omega Seamaster PO Chrono
Rolex makes an extremely high quality watch undeniably…I rely on my Omega on jet skis and my boat. I understand that relationship. I think most Rolex buyers buy out of aspiration. Aspiration can take on many forms (ego, fantasy, milestones) and I’m sure R...
Opinion: Not one of Jack’s best articles.
I kind of think Jack mailed this one in. Love his work, just not this one.
