Clearly, you're at least a bit retarded so let me spell it out for you. The Rolex caliber 3235 movement is one of the most accurate movements ever made. All of mine run and are certified to be no more than 2 seconds off in any 24hr period. Two of mine are at about 1 second. Now take into account that they are a 31 jewel with 70 hours of reserve. They have some of the brightest Superluminova made.
All of the alloys used are from their own smelters including their 904L stainless, because they couldn't get their required specs from any other supplier of alloys. Everything on the watch is in house including the action which is mostly hand assembled and QC'ed to the highest standards. My DeepSea dweller is certified to 12,800 ft deep so I'd say their seal systems are pretty damn good as well.
The ceramic bezels are very sharp and almost un-scratchable. And finally every one I've purchased, I've made money on! The last one I bought is the Batman in my pic, I paid $11,100 new at my authorized Rolex dealer three weeks ago. It has a current resale value of approximately $18,000.
But Yeah, I'm about symbolism over substance. Moron.
Every Rolex I have is under 2 sec /day, best one is 2022 date Sub which is about 1 sec fast over 3 days, when worn daily. Am still emotionally attached to my old Seikos, and have a few other shitters in the cupboard, but nothing else I have wears like a Rolex.
Part of my work does not allow use of anything with a battery, so the Casios stay at home for those days.
Utterly unfailing reliability is what I expect and have enjoyed from Rolex. The fact that the company has elected to stray from its roots as a tool watch maker, into the realm of bling does not bother me. I’m sure the profits earned from the ‘diamond set’ crowd, allow Rolex to continue to donate large amounts of money to the Red Cross and other philanthropic endeavours. And also fund continuing evolution and development of designs for the future. I forgot how many patents they raised for the the new movement in the Land Dweller, but it’s a bunch.
In terms of innovation, gotta give props to Grand Seiko. Spring drive , and also their newer high beat movements are very impressive. I hope their case and dial designs will evolve over time, to match their technical excellence.
