I don't think they are any better. I think their perceived "aura" is what is better over some of the other big brands.
And that is worth nothing extra for me.
Certainly not worth some of the crazy prices people are paying over MSRP.

I agree. Rolex has created a brand that is like McDonald’s - virtually everyone knows Rolex. They make a very good watch. Is it better than all of the other luxury watch companies? No.

Because there is really nothing like the feeling of taking a new Rolex out of the box and strapping it onto your wrist. They are great watches.
I seem to recall, from my youth, that there are a few things that supersede this. And, interestingly, they involve removing something, rather than putting something on…

Yeah, but over time the nice watch wins …

So the local Rolex jeweler is building a new store across the street from the Mercedes dealership I work for. Maybe they will cut us some slack for neighbors as far as acquiring one. I'm sure they will get deals on cars, better than what I can.

I don’t think so.
That makes no sense. In order for something to be a classic it must have sold in a previous era. Therefore at some point in the future some of today’s new watches will be classics. Where else would a classic anything come from? It’s got to be new before it can be a classic.

Generally, a “vintage” or a “classic” watch is considered to be at least 25 years old or more. What I asked you previously is how many classic Omega watches can you think of that were made from the 1970 through now? Let me put it another way. We know that models from the year 1970 through the year of 2000 were made at least 25 years ago or more. In your opinion, which of those years models are “classic”? What I’m saying is that Omega built a lot more “classics” from 1948 through 1969 (21 years total) then they did from 1970 through 1990 (30 years total). Do you disagree?
