Rolex Watches - You have arrived!

What do you think to yourself when you see a man with a Rolex watch? Champagne, Caviar and a Ferrari wouldn't be a bad guess, owing to the cost of wearing this high-end brand name. A Rolex watch makes the wearer proud to own this classy timepiece and sets them apart from the crowd. It is instantly recognizable for what it is and is at home on the wrist whether worn with a suit or casual clothes. A Rolex is one of the most sought after watches in the world.

One tends to think of a Rolex as a man's watch, the business man or playboy, but this is a misconception. From the ladies pink face Rolex watch to the ladies Rolex diamond watch, women can also wear these beautiful watches made by the world's most famous watch company.

The status associated with the Rolex name has created a market for the collection of these timepieces. New watches will have paperwork including the chronometer certificate and Rolex wallet to distinguish it from its cheaper cousins. New Rolex models are also shipped from the factory with a Hologram-encoded sticker on the caseback. This helps differentiate the real Rolex from the plethora of counterfeit copies and knock offs that have created a secondary market.

The story of how the Rolex became the most desired watch in the world begins with a Bavarian orphan, Hans Wilsdorf in the early 1900's. He decided to start his own watch making business in London, in 1905 - Wilsdorf & Davies was founded. He concentrated on the wrist watch in the era of the pocket watch. They wanted an easily recognizable name and came up with Rolex. With an aggressive ad campaign, unprecedented at the time, the Rolex Oyster brand was launched. This became the classic Rolex design and the one that made the company famous and represents who they are today.

The Submariner is a watch that needs no introduction, as it is unquestionably the most successful and widely known divers watch in the world. This watch has set the standard in professional divers and is given to many professional divers and military forces as standard issue. The Daytona is one of the ultimate status symbols, if you have the money to spare. This is a well designed sport watch and is the most collectible and desirable of all current Rolex models.

These watches don't always have to have a jubilee bracelet or full gold with diamond encrusted bezels to become a must have accessory. They can be plain and unassuming yet instantly recognizable for what they are, but without being over designed. The details of these watches leave nothing to be desired.
