If you enjoyed my previous stories about Rolex, here's my latest. I just posted it today. I hope you'll like it.

It's called: "Crownland: How Rolex Got Real"

Fantastic article Danny, thank you for your post

It further entrenches the old adage, that the real money is in real estate

Very interesting reading...I'd like to know if in late 2022 and 2023 watchmakers have been suffering the same drop of revenues that most of the luxury clothing brands are reporting...

Good read, Danny. With the pivot in the industry, it will be interesting to see what other acquisitions Rolex pursues.

Great read indeed, thanks for posting. We know cash is trash, and so Rolex is investing with an eye towards their future (while also assisting others) is wonderful.
