I’d like Rolex to use its resources for manufacturing more SS models. That’d be enough for me.

Rubber size 34. The dna of the brand.

No watches are what they do best so lets leave it at that.

I really like Rolex's display clocks in the ADs.
I offered them $2K to buy and they won't sell it.
If Rolex will sell them, I'll buy a few.
I also like Tag display clocks.

Yes, Rolex should make clocks.

Would rather Rolex keep 100% of their focus and resources on developing and manufacturing watches.
I participated in your survey. Good luck with your research project.

Yes. Molasses, since Rolex is so slow in production.

I realize some newer members may think a Rolex stopwatch is a crazy product in the survey - but it has roots in reality.

Yes, long ago Rolex made a regular stopwatch for field sports.





And it’s been discussed several times before - most recently in 2017...
https://www.rolexforums.com/showpost...79&postcount=9


So the OP hasn’t posed a crazy idea after all. A stopwatch is still part and parcel of timekeeping. And when all else fails at the track we still pull out stopwatches.

...Now about that that roll of TP? Not!!!

A lot of views and replies, good! However almost nobody responded to the survey and I am in desperate need of more Rolex owners who answer the survey. So please could you fill in the survey? I would be very, very grateful

Heard a rumour about hybrid car with the dash clock being a Daytona dial but then apparently it’s a 7 year wait list but you can get it earlier if you buy either a two tone truck or solid gold airplane.

I do a lot of qual. and quant. research in my job. Your survey isn’t going to yield very good insights I am afraid. A lot of your questions aren’t worded well, leading and/or flawed which might lead to erroneous conclusions and insights.

@ meganfox17 well actually I am pretty desperate, already more then 800 people viewed this post and only 8 people responded to my survey, and not even everybody finished them making them useless! While I need more then a 80 survey responses! So please anybody reading this could you fill in the survey!

Completed the survey; noticed at least one misspelling with some stretched phrasings. Good luck with graduation!!! As far as Rolex making a bracelet and expanding to jewelry, I'd prefer they make watches and actually deliver them to ADs!!!

Without giving TRF members a unique identifier you will not have a way to adjust (by giving a differential weighting factor) for watch collector strata bias vs. the general population.

You may want to add a question like “where did you get the link to this survey?”

Good luck on your brand value thesis.
