Now, I've had plenty of Rolexes and still have my Daytona, but my last purchase was an Omega as well. Largely because I could actually go to a store and try it on, negotiate, and buy it. And yes, I'm very aware that it will not hold its value like a Rolex.
And it will cost a lot less. If you buy a $500 watch and it loses $100, so what? There are a lot of great watches out there for not a lot of money, watch companies can do that when they don't have to spend millions on advertising, retail stores, and celebrity endorsement contracts. I've heard it only cost Rolex about $800 to make a Sub.

PS We do have two Rolexes in the stable.

I still think that Rolex is a great product even if the SS models have moved moved towards jewellery in recent years. Would I recommend Rolex to someone for a first time? I am not so sure. Yes for product quality but no because of all that now goes with attempting to get on. Hopefully that will change......

And this is just sales in stores in China. Count the smuggled watches and it must be massive
