Timeless
I think one if my favorite things about rolex is the fact that they don't change. I for one love the timeless look of their models and the fact that they don't change all the time. Look at these two below. Guess when they were produced?

Main point is these two very similar watches are made over 30 years apart. Once you have one you'll have a piece that will look modern for years!

Nice, I agree, that's what I love about Rolex. They stick to what works and don't follow the fads that come and go!

I agree! The ref 5500 AirKing was made for 37 years without much change.

Agree, the pedigree I guess you could call it is excellent! I love the fact that the same watch that I'm wearing as I type this is mostly unchanged for decades. Minor changes here and there but all in all pretty much the same watch.

That's why I like Rolex. I don't want bigger and colors and weird materials. Stainless steel or gold and timeless unchanging design with a touch of modern materials for the internals, that's all I need.
Or just a well maintained vintage piece. |

I like that about Rolex styling too: evolution rather than revolution.
