Why customers love Rolex?

The Explorer, you either love it or you don't pay any attention to it, it's up to you... For my part, this Explorer is a watch that has spoken to me for years. Here, it is the reference 124270, a version that combines heritage and modernity. Indeed, we find the classic deep black dial, the Mercedes hand and the famous 3-6-9-triangle. This Rolex has managed to keep "vintage" proportions with a historic diameter of 36mm and a visually very successful brushed oyster bracelet thanks to an "old-fashioned taper" from 19 to 14 mm. The fine links and an extension allowing you to easily gain a few millimeters in case of extreme heat make this bracelet very comfortable. Without a chamfer, the case with slightly curved sides is topped with a beveled bezel that slightly overflows onto the bracelet, which gives the whole thing a beautiful presence. The daytime readability is excellent whatever the reading angle, thanks in particular to the faceted indexes and hands; the luminova makes the pleasure last all night long. Light, thin and waterproof, this watch is easy to wear in all situations. Celebrating a significant moment in my life, its name resonates with me and reminds me every day how urgent it is to explore the rest of one's life.

14 years ago, I bought this Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600, thinking I was making a good choice. And after all these years, I am still convinced that it was. There is something special about this watch, it has also become unique with a leather strap that is the polar opposite of the original strap! But maybe it is simply the bond I have developed with it over time. Robust and discreet, in my eyes at least, I particularly appreciate its 40 mm case, which gives it a perfect balance. But in my opinion, what really sets it apart is the absence of a cyclops on the date. Some would say that it is a drawback, but personally, I find that it reinforces its charm. As for its weight (144 g), slightly higher than that of a Submariner, I feel it as a sign of solidity, but I can understand that others perceive it differently. Performance-wise, it has rarely disappointed me. With its caliber 3035 or 3135 - suddenly I have a doubt - it remains remarkably precise, even after all these years, but maybe I am not picky enough to notice small variations. I have only had one service in 14 years, which seems more than enough, but who knows, maybe I should be more vigilant? What I also like is the natural wear it has developed over time. Its tritium indexes have acquired a subtle patina, and the aluminum bezel shows some signs of use. Does this add to its character or is it simply a sign that it is aging? The Oyster bracelet has undoubtedly had its day, but I continue to maintain the magic of this watch with a top-notch custom-made crocodile leather strap - or alligator perhaps - from ABP Concept in Paris - besides, I should have chosen the hand-sewn one which has more charm. In a “blue-jean” color with white stitching, it transforms my SD by making it unique and more discreet… it gives it an extra soul! I could say that this watch is the best watchmaking decision I have ever made, but maybe that’s just my attachment talking. All I know is that it has followed me for all these years, and that it continues to move me day after day. Is it exceptional, or have I simply learned to love it? In any case, it is unique…

I was lucky enough to acquire this piece a little less than 3 years ago now, since then I have never taken it off my wrist, I wear it 24/7, work, sports, outings. Its professional nature, its easily adjustable wearing comfort, its blue sunray dial which gives it all the shades of Blue, and the fact that it is yellow Rolesor make it a watch that lends itself to all situations. My favorite which has become my inseparable, this unfortunately leaves little room at the moment for my other watches.

I take my time for about two years to mature a major purchase and carefully select a model that suits me. It's [once again] about being able to take advantage of an in-house purchase [with a discount]. I ask myself a thousand and one questions. Another Dayto, in more precious materials? Yes, but no, too much of a duplication. A Sub, but without the date? Yes, but no, too familiar, and not really my style. Exit the GMT-Master, they don't suit me. Air-King, Explorer 1, Oyster Perp? No, either because the old ones are better, or they don't have the numerals. 1908? Yes, but... maybe later. A Day-Date? Well yes, definitely, but out of my budget. So a great classic, the DateJust? Yes, but no. It either has something missing (a Cyclops, or even a date), or something missing (I don't want a simple three-hand + date). Ultimately, I know I'm looking for a model with pure Rolex characteristics, easily recognizable from afar, but I need something extra. This extra is available on the Sky-Dweller: the month display on the 12 indexes. A real highlight of ingenuity for this movement with an annual calendar. All that remains is a difficult choice: between a basic steel model or upgrading to a more premium version by adding gold. What's certain is that there will be the fluted bezel and the Jubilee bracelet, to discover other styles. Ultimately, this choice of Rolex suits me perfectly. When it arrives, opening the box gives me a double impression: the watch is great, but it's the wrong bracelet (Oyster). It must have been an error in the order transmission between the different people. In short, I avoid touching the watch and see if I can get the strap changed. I reordered it, waited a few weeks, and finally here's the real thing with its Jubilee strap. As bright as the sun! For the moment, I rarely wear it. I still enjoy keeping it in mint condition. I love the date change, which is really done with a click (without shifting the date in the aperture during the preceding minutes). The little red square for the month, very discreet, but so essential and original (even if other brands like Omega or H. Moser do it too). There's a small flaw with the month of March, where the cyclops takes up a little too much space. In any case, I can confirm that there's only one adjustment per year: on March 1st. The GMT side, with the time zone change by shifting (by notch) the hour hand, is really well thought out. The small central disc always indicates the reference time, and the hands can be shifted to local time. I don't use this feature, but I like knowing it's there. The time and date adjustment with the crown and rotating bezel is well thought out. I enjoy adjusting it so I can set it later. Its 14.1mm thickness is quite substantial (but acceptable considering the number of complications in this model). The bracelet is almost thin, but the clasp is substantial and balances the whole thing well. If you want to be seen from afar, this is an ideal model. Only those who dig deeper will notice that it has a little something extra.

I finally managed to buy this Rolex Sea-Dweller from my Rolex AD in Manchester a few months ago... after almost 2 years of waiting list. I was like a child when I got the call... I honestly couldn't believe it! I had tried it many times and I always liked its beastly and brutal side for a diver's watch... I read here and there that it was not a real Sea-Dweller because it has the magnifying glass on the date... Seriously, all these specialists telling you what to do and what to think... it's becoming a pain! I have the Rolex I wanted, I like it, it's beautiful, maybe it will go for a little dive this summer - or not - what matters is that I love it! Thanks for this platform that surprisingly did not exist before 🙏

Having been a watch enthusiast for over 2 years, I have gradually built up a collection (only composed of manufacture/COSC movements) in stages and by theme (diver, chronograph); gradually increasing my investments. Tag Heuer, Tudor, Breitling... The next step could only be - within my means - the famous brand with the crown. Without being a primary Rolex aficionado, I ended up measuring all the majesty of the brand by dint of researching it and gradually fell in love with the model that I own today. Far from being a confidential model, the "Wimbledon" in my eyes is the most beautiful version of the datejust, combining both elegance and sportiness. This version, purchased in an official store (the first, preferring to bet on financial considerations and customer service on the second hand) has the new Rolex caliber 3235 (RDM 70h), antimagnetic and shock-resistant as well as the Easylink comfort extension. All the latest Rolex innovations within reach of the wrist in short. The black Roman numerals circled in green appear to me as a true marvel whose color variances I never tire of contemplating according to the light projected on the slate-finish dial and sumptuously brushed in a circular manner. A real visual success. The choice of an Oyster configuration and a smooth bezel is motivated by personal aesthetic considerations, preferring the Jubilee on a GMT and not necessarily liking the mixture of metals for a fluted bezel. The watch is comfortable to wear, adaptable to all outfits. I regret however that the oysterlock clasp is a scratch magnet (but what clasp is not really?) and that visibility in the dark is average. Great buying experience. Deposit of 3 wishes in March 2k23 (The Wimbledon, the datejust with a mint green dial and a classic black OP). Waiting period announced as 10 to 12 months. Reminder in June 2K23 to offer me another alternative (DJ green sunray dial). I finally manage to get my first choice after discussion. Payment of a 30% deposit and delivery time announced as 3 to 6 months. 20 days later/early July 2K23, announcement that my watch is available and acquisition in the process. Lucky. My collection is growing in the most beautiful way! Next goal, a Japanese movement! The fact that I know the person who accompanied me throughout the process probably helped me (he was one of my former work-study students at Rolex, me who until very recently taught at the university). Looking forward to discussing this model at the watch event organized by "A la bon'heure du tic-tac" on 10/21/2023 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Lyon!

I received this watch in 2011, the year I turned 18, upon graduating from high school. It's a gift that's a huge symbol for me, a watchmaking enthusiast from a young age. It's a wonderful memory for me and a symbol of my transition from high school to college. I've dreamed of it since I was a kid. I didn't know much about it at the time, but I found the bezel color appealing and was hesitant about a Navitimer. I'll keep this watch for the rest of my life, no matter what, because it means so much to me. The lady was made in 1998, in the prime of her life.

I bought this watch when it came out at my AD, which I received quite quickly because I really fell in love with its aesthetics. A rather bling bling watch, not necessarily easy to wear. Very comfortable, the bracelet is a real jewel and shines brightly. This is my second purchase in a Rolex boutique, it touched me but much less than the first, less emotional. A modern GMT that rocks.

For years, I'd dreamed of this watch. The Rolex Submariner 126613LB, nicknamed the "Bluesy," isn't just a watch, it's a symbol. A symbol of success, a passion for watchmaking, and self-improvement. I spent hours looking at it in photos, videos, and window displays... and finally, the dream came true. The shopping experience was simply perfect, living up to the image one has of such a moment. From the moment I arrived, I felt expected, respected, and listened to. The staff took the time to chat, to guide me, and to make this moment a memorable one. No detail was left to chance. I wasn't simply sold a watch; I was offered an experience, a memory etched in stone. And then comes the magical moment when the watch is finally on my wrist. The deep blue of the dial, the marriage of yellow gold and steel, the bezel that captures the light in a thousand different ways... it's all there. The perfect balance between sportiness, elegance, and character. A masterpiece. Leaving the boutique, I found myself thinking, "It's okay, I can die tomorrow, I've done it." This phrase, as powerful as it is, perfectly sums up what I felt. It's much more than a material purchase. It's the fulfillment of a dream, a personal goal, a moment I've been waiting for for so long. Today, every time I look at this Submariner, I remember that day. And

Hello, here is my little Rolex reference 15200 that I bought myself more than 20 years ago. I wanted to buy myself a beautiful watch, sober, reassuring and of quality... Rolex was completely unknown to me like most other watch brands. Until then my only watch was a Poiray "Ma Première" closer to a bracelet than a watch... The idea was to choose a watchmaker's watch and not a fashion accessory. I had it serviced for the first time recently because it was starting to be less precise. I assure you that it did not prevent it from sleeping but once I realized it, I absolutely wanted it to work properly again. A quick visit to a watchmaker recommended by a friend and here it is again all beautiful to accompany me for the next 20 years.
