Had one once, pretty thing, never took to it, traded it in on an Omega one year later, now I'm happy.

So out of curiosity, how many Rolex's do the members on here own? I'm at one myself. Love to see pics!

My pedantic streak 🤨 will no longer allow me to ignore the error in the title (and initial post) of this thread - it grates anew with each fresh appearance on the “Latest” posts list. Which, by the way, continues to work quite well despite one member’s recent - and I suspect self-inflicted - experience to the contrary.

Please, it’s either... “how many Rolex watches” or “how many Rolexes” ... “do the members on here own?” - take your pick, though I recommend and prefer the former, since there is only one Rolex - the company (singular) that makes watches (plural.)

Rolex apparently has no stated position on the matter. However, I have never seen the company’s copy refer to “Rolexes”, though “Rolex” is used in the singular to refer to one watch, e.g. “Only official Rolex retailers are allowed to sell and maintain a Rolex.” and “Every Rolex tells a story.” As often, it’s “Rolex watch” e.g. “Whether it is an heirloom, a milestone of success or a gift, a Rolex watch frequently becomes an emotional symbol that brings to life exceptional moments.” and “Find your Rolex watch among our women's collection of refined, feminine timepieces with noble materials, graceful gems and elegant colours.”

Either way it is definitely NOT Rolex’s. :whipped:

That is the possessive, e.g. “Rolex’s manufacturing facility in Bienne.”

That is all.

No Rolex watches, just one bracelet that has been holding a Heuer on my wrist since 1975. But having seen the pre-Daytonas at the London preview of the Phillips auction a year ago one would be on my post lottery win list.

Just one, Explorer 36mm, purchased recently from Private Sales here. It's still waiting for a bracelet.
