How Rolex Watches Stand in a League of Their Own

2010-01-10T08:48:00.000-08:00

There is little doubt that the relentless cycles of fashion trends affect us all, no matter if we are 'fashion conscious' or not. While some people worship the current tends, trading colours as the seasons progress, noting what hairstyles footballers and celebrities bear so they can mimic them, others claim to have no interest in the passing styles that grip catwalk and pavement alike - yet there is no escape. Whether we like it or not, the clothes, shoes, belts buckles and accessories we wear depend on a select few - those that decide what the shops will sell, and there is no denying that this is a decision based entirely on what is 'in' this season.

Watches are no exception to this consumptive force; at the moment a rich, vibrant blue is making a comeback in watch dials right across the market - a pleasant cooling sensation to counter the hot summer perhaps. With so many people influenced by high-profile celebrities that cannot afford to be 'unfashionable' (think snide remarks from women's magazines), fashion is a force to be reckoned with; one that few manufacturers can risk ignoring.

Of the major watch manufacturers, few can safely bypass fashion trends if they wish to survive. Of those that can, the name Rolex instantly springs to mind. Rolex watches are a marvel to look at. Part of the reason that they are so iconic is the fact that the company has found an enormously successful design and stuck with it; a Rolex made thirty or forty years ago is not worlds away from its modern counterpart. The subtle differences in a Rolex's appearance as it morphs over the years have as much to do with security and technology as to do with aesthetic improvements.

The biggest challenge that Rolex faces is not the endlessly changing (yet, ultimately, endlessly repeating) fashions, but endlessly inventive counterfeiters, desperate to cash in on the golden reputation that Rolex has developed. Over the years, Rolex has tried a number of different security measures, from holograms to laser etched crystal, and as these methods have superseded each other, they have left a minefield of mistakes for counterfeiters to fall into, which can help in their identification. Anyone trying to mimic an older Rolex has to get the security feature correct, as well as the watch's design.

The subtle design changes that Rolex make every year merely nod in the direction of current trends - the new Submariner has a blue dial and bezel, but an updated model of the classic black version is its counterpoint, and few of the other new models feature much blue at all. The 2009 version of the Cosmograph Daytona is diamond studded, and its only homage to blue are the subtle, tasteful blue numbers around the dial.

While many watch manufactures appear to lead the way in terms of fashions, with new designs that show off technical prowess rather than pure aesthetics, the constant changing designs and appearance of these watches, in size, shape and materials reflects a deeper concern over their image. When a company's more vintage models look 'dated', it is certainly a sign that they have moved with the ebb and flow of fashion, and not, like Rolex, created an utterly timeless fashion of their own.

The Rolex GMT-Master Vs Rolex GMT-Master II

2010-01-10T08:40:00.000-08:00

The Rolex GMT-Master II was introduced as an improved version of the GMT-Master, which had been launched in 1954. The earlier version was designed on the request of Pan American Airlines. They wanted a special watch that could display the time in two different time zones simultaneously. Thus, the GMT-Master models feature a special 24 hour hand and a bi-directional rotating bezel that are designed to give the time in any two time zones simultaneously. GMT-Master II was launched in 1983 as an improvement over the GMT-Master.

How is the GMT-Master II an Improvement over the GMT-Master?

Although the basic functionality of the GMT-Master II is identical to the GMT-Master, the new model sports the following additional features:

* The GMT-Master II features a scratch resistant synthetic sapphire crystal. The introduction of GMT-Master II led to the synthetic sapphire crystal being fitted to all other Rolex models.

* It is equipped with the "Jump Hour" feature, which allows the regular hour hand to be set to a different time zone without requiring any adjustment of the 24-hour hand or bezel. You simply unscrew the winding crown and turn it slowly, clockwise or counterclockwise. This will jump the hour hand one hour at a time without affecting the operation of the minute or seconds hand.

* It features an independently adjustable hour hand.

* One of the most attractive features of the GMT-Master models is their bezel. In all current GMT-Master II Models, a new bezel style has been introduced. Made from an extremely hard and beautiful ceramic material, the new bezel exhibits highly corrosion-resistant and scratch-resistant properties. The numerals engraved on this bezel are filled with gold to make them more legible and to enhance their overall look and style.

* The GMT-Master II also features larger crown guards.

* The new Triplock winding crown is fitted into all currently available GMT-Master II models. Using triple separate gaskets, it screws down like a nautical hatch and makes the watch more resistant to water and other foreign particles. The best thing is that with this new Triplock mechanism, the Rolex model can withstand water pressure of over half a ton per square centimeter

* The Blue Parachrom hairspring, an innovative alloy, is an added feature found in GMT-Master II and is absent in the GMT-Master models. This has been one of the greatest innovations of Rolex in recent years. This feature has made the watch exceptionally resistant to magnetic fields and shocks, thus enhancing performance in all conditions.

* The stainless steel versions of Rolex GMT-Master II use a highly corrosion resistant stainless steel alloy, 904L. Suitable for harsh conditions, it is also elegant.

Clearly, the Rolex GMT-Master II is a definite improvement when compared to the GMT-Master. However, you may come across many people who want to buy an older GMT-Master model for their rarity and great value as vintage collectibles. If you are looking for a GMT model in terms of functionalities, the modern GMT-Master II undeniably is the better choice.

Rolex Daytona Review

2009-12-04T08:25:00.000-08:00

From an owner of this watch.

I actually own this watch and I am wearing it as I type. This is known to be one of the hardest to get watches. Authorized dealers are given ONE per year (actually two, but one is black-faced, and one is white faced). The white faced is the most demanded, thus more rare. I waited over a year to get mine, and only by luck did I get mine. The 116520 is milestone of Rolex's success. It signifies the start of a new era for Rolex... in which EVERY watch, EVERY component, and EVERY piece is made entirely by Rolex across all watches in their production. Until the year 2000, the Daytona's internal components were made by Zenith & Valjoux (still great quality, but not made by Rolex).

Image via Wikipedia

This watch retails (at the moment I am writing) for about seven grand. If you want the watch now... you will have to pay over ten to twelve grand. If you want to wait 2-3 years on a waiting list (if you can even find a dealer who has one, usually they only sell this watch to customers who have bought other Rolex's and don't hold a waiting list) then go to an authorized dealer and do so. Be careful who you buy this watch from, as fakes are getting better and better. If you do buy one, be sure to take it to an AD (Authorized Dealer) to ensure it is Authentic. If you think this watch is expensive now... wait 5-10 years... it will be worth more than a house in today's standards. Rolex increases the cost of their watches every year by 7-20%, so this watch is going to go up in value... don't trust me... watch the prices go up for yourself and see.

Image via Wikipedia

Along with new Rolex's going up in price... your used Rolex does too... eventually your used Rolex is worth more than you bought it new and you can sell it to break even or make profit... and thus the reason that so many collect these timepeices. Of course... if you want to invest your money... you can find a lot greater returns at a bank or financial advisor than in a Rolex.

If you buy this watch above MSRP, you are giving someone a LOT of money... wheras when you buy from Rolex... a large portion of the money goes to Charity... just a FYI.

Image via Wikipedia

Details on the watch - The Calibre 4130 (the movement inside the watch) is already being praised by watch authorities as one of the TOP 10 movements ever created... for it's simplicity, accuracy, and efficiency. It uses less components than other models and is very rugged... this is a watch you could wear jackhammering everyday all year and not have to worry about it breaking.
