This is actually a good question. Since Rolex is a name wouldn't the proper use be Rolex's???

The proper plural would be Rolexes, it follows the same rule as, boxes/foxes/taxes. It aids pronunciation, I was a language student and I am very geeky because I still love grammar, syntax, spelling etc. |

That is of course similar to mouse:mice and house:houses... not so? Reading the above again, it sounds rather condescending which it really isn't meant to be. Terry |

Generally accepted regular plural: Rolexes. Or, you could try the classical Greek/Latin version: Rolices

The plural of Rolex is simply "Rolex".
Trust me. I am a (closet) grammar-Nazi.
