WatchTime Article - Rolex Versus Patek
I was excited to see this on the cover of my latest Watchtime Magazine. IMHO, the two finest mechanical swiss watches in the world. It was extremely interesting. I don’t want to ruin any of the article here, but was curious if any other TRFers read it and what do they think? Please feel free to post any article info you feel interesting

Recently a thread along the lines of “What does your Rolex mean to you” was decimated as a commenter linked to an article he wrote for Rolex magazine. His comments were frequently quoted and everyones’ posts were deleted I think due to violating the forums rules of linking to competing interests.

Thank you for posting that briefly appearing article. It's a good read, and nicely balanced.

Been thinking of subscribing to a horological magazine...is Watchtime the recommended resource?

Funny, I have a copy sitting here next to me but I haven’t read it yet. Faithful subscriber for 2 years now.

I find Rolex to be the King of luxury watch marketing. No one better. They have convinced most of the world they are the best mechanical watch movement in the world and they are known everywhere you go. I think Patek makes just as good as a movement and find some of the their designs to be better; however, if you ask 10 people who is Patek, 9 of them would not know what it is or have never heard of them.
