Because it feels-and looks-so good. And I like being able to tell what time it is in style.

My father wore a Rolex since the time I was about 4 years old. The $200 he paid for it (new) was probably several weeks pay, and 43 years later, it's still running. That is Quality!

Because I recently turned 55, have always liked watches, was always a huge James Bond fan, wanted something to symbolize the hard work I have put in all these years, wanted something that was classic and not a fad, and I fell in love with the blue/black bezel (but first on a TAG, then I discovered the BLNR). Previously it had not occurred to me to step up to a Rolex, but what was I waiting for? Also, it turns out my wife always liked men's Rolexes....

I realize some people collect watches, but there is something about having only one that makes it even more personal and special.

Because I'd feel weird wearing rings and earrings, and Rolex is a great piece of jewelery, perfect for any man.
