HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE A ROLEX WATCH FROM START TO FINISH?

No matter how you look at it, buying a Rolex watch as a solid investment will always be a good choice. Even if not one of the most coveted of designs, a Rolex watch will lose very little in value over the years and is more likely to increase as time goes on.
ARE OLD ROLEX WATCHES WORTH ANYTHING?
If kept in good condition and if sold at the correct time, old or vintage Rolex watches can fetch vast amounts of money on the pre-owned market. It is one of the many intriguing and exciting factors about watch collecting that appeals to many enthusiasts – the buying and selling of popular models and working up the ladder to complete a comprehensive collection of the brand’s most loved icons.
ARE ROLEX WATCHES GOOD INVESTMENTS?
The popularity of vintage Rolex watches can vastly exceed the price of a new Rolex watch due to high demand in the pre-owned market. The more desirable a Rolex watch, the harder it is to stumble across, thus the higher its price tag. Rolex watches are also built solidly and promise a lifetime on the wrist with an unfaltering, robust design crafted from superior materials that are reflected in the investment price of a Rolex watch, whether old or new.
WHAT ARE THE MOST POPULAR CELEBRITY ROLEX WATCHES?
You can’t argue that Rolex watches are the most well-known timepieces in the universe. But a watch endorsed on the wrist of a well-known music artist, Hollywood actor or politician, of course, further adds to the allure and charm of wearing and owning a Rolex watch. Female celebrities wearing Rolex watches include Jennifer Anniston who has a soft spot for the yellow gold Rolex Day-Date and Reese Witherspoon who chooses the classic Day-Date model. Male celebrities include American actor, Keanu Reeves who sports a Submariner on his wrist, Robert Downey Jr. who styles a personalised GMT-Master II very well, and Will Smith, spotted wearing the much-loved stainless steel Submariner.

First released in 1963 and retaining all its key characteristics, the Rolex Daytona is a classic collectable.
WHAT ARE THE MOST COLLECTABLE ROLEX WATCHES?
The Rolex Submariner ref. 16610, the Rolex Submariner Hulk, the GMT-Master II Pepsi watch, and the Submariner Kermit are all considered watches worth collecting, not only for their ability to climb in value but for their iconic style too.
DO ROLEX HOLD THEIR VALUE?
In short, the answer is yes. Rolex watches hold their value incredibly well and are one of the very few manufacturers in the industry that have held onto a steady and solid reputation in creating wristwatches that will appreciate in value as opposed to dropping in value. Many enthusiasts save up for years to be able to make a lifetime investment with a Rolex watch, whilst others keep them in the family to hand down the line of generations to come.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ROLEX DATE AND DATEJUST?
The size of the case is one of the main differences between the Rolex Date watch and the Rolex Datejust. The Rolex Date is generally a lot smaller than the Datejust, measuring a 34mm diameter, whilst the Datejust measures 36mm (aside from the mid-size watches, the 41mm version and, of course, the Lady Datejust).

FACT: ROLEX WATCHES ARE EXPENSIVE BUT WORTH IT!
Limited edition Rolex watches can be expensive but, surprisingly, a Rolex stainless steel watch like the Submariner reference 16610 can fetch much higher prices than platinum Rolex watches, diamond Rolex watches or even gold Rolex watches, due to their popularity and their iconic status.
The strength and resistance associated with a Rolex watch do not come cheap. When it comes to the price tag of a timepiece made by this world-renowned manufacturer, you get what you pay for. Rolex chooses a premium selection of materials for its timepieces. Its automatic movements are COSC-certified and the brand has its own material research and development department which uses time-honoured techniques that have truly stood the test of time. Wearing a watch brand that is so instantly recognisable on the wrist is a pricey affair, but a value proposition that you will never regret since each Rolex watch holds its value so well.
