The Man Behind The Crown Video

I wonder if the video in post #1 is the same one used at level 3 in the Dubai Boutique.

Thanks guys! I thought it was worth sharing. Definitely a PR video but very well made nonetheless.

That's what's important.



I really don't see the need for cynicism at all.

Just saying it’s a PR video - not worth quibbling over little details like some had noted earlier.

I agree with these statements. Seems many take an immediate cynical contrarian stance on any Rolex PR as if the company is built on lies. From the comments some post I find it difficult to rationalize how they can even purchase their products.
According to most opinions here, Rolex seems to have never invented or created anything first. They are just good at marketing and making great watches, although some lead me to believe that even that is debatable in their estimation.

From my point of view I feel like this about other brands hence why they don't see a dime of my money nor do I join those forums.

If you mean my comments well I love the brand and the products ... but ... I dont like when any person or company blatantly bends the truth.

Its a great video but was missing one co-founder and it also misrepresented the truth in regard to the swim.

Not big life changing issues but in a video that will be held to precise scrutiny as the products are I was slightly disappointed at the errors.

Very well put!
