Doesn't Rolex have a slogan?

Patek Philippe:
"You never own a Patek Philippe, you merely look after it for the next generation."

IWC:
"IWC. Since 1868. And for as long as there are men."

Omega:
"Omega. The sign of excellence."

Breitling:
"Breitling. Instruments for professionals."

Panerai:
"Panerai. Where ideas come to life."

Rolex?!?

...that's all very fine - but doesn't Rolex have one? I haven't been able to find any, and I really need it for some graphics I'm working on

Saw it on several Rolex commercials on BBC TV when I was in Kuwait.

(BTW JJ, the ads featured a TT Blue Sub and YM, along with showing tyacht sailing!)

I believe that is correct. I've seen reference to this same slogan on the Rolex website as well, so I'd go with that.

Alternative slogans

Patek Philippe:
"You never own a Patek Philippe, you'll be dead before you finish paying for the damn thing."

Rolex:
"Bend over, drop your pants and take the price increase with a smile"
