On the street it's different. I jes got my Rolexesus out on my wrist so you would recognize.

I think the term Rolex should be solid and accompanied by nouns.

"I own two Rolex watches"
"My Rolex collection sits safely in a watchwinder"
"I enjoy my two Rolex"
^ THIS ^

Admittedly, some of my articles might have an errant “Rolexes” bad plural form in them. “Rolex watches” seems the proper use.

Here's the correct answer:
1. Trademarks are adjectives used to modify nouns; the noun is the generic name of a product or service.

2. As adjectives, trademarks may not be used in the plural or possessive form.

Correct: I bought two Macintosh computers.

Not Correct: I bought two Macintoshes.

It's a good thing that Rolex takes no position on this matter, as quite hubbub was caused when Apple executive Philip Schiller did take a position with regard to their trade name.
Two Silicon Valley guys were talking on Twitter about whether they should say they have two iPad Pros or two iPads Pro. Then Schiller jumped in to say, “One need never pluralize Apple product names. Ex: Mr. Evans used two iPad Pro devices.” [Emphasis mine]

http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/edu...t-names-plural
The Apple website addresses this very problem, but a close reading will reveal that Apple breaks the rules on their own website, even in the same paragraph.
Trademarks are adjectives, and should not be made into verbs or made plural or possessive. For more information on how to use Apple’s trademarks, refer to the document titled, “Guidelines for Using Apple Trademarks,” or contact the Trademark team. [Emphasis mine]

https://www.apple.com/legal/intellec...pletmlist.html

Because very few people seem to pay attention to the date on threads/posts, so you get this situation where people are answering or reacting to ancient comments, thinking they are chatting in real time, and it gets confusing and annoying. There are other reasons, but this is the main reason why old threads get closed (by me anyway) unless they are especially interesting.
