Why A Rolex Is The Perfect Gift

By Rodney Morrissey

A premier symbol of quality, status and prestige, Rolex watches define their owners like no other timepiece. Around the world, men and women who wear one are recognized as successful, daring, and adventurous. For over 100 years the Rolex name has made its mark in style and innovation, always recognized as the leader that others can only follow. And to this day, a vintage Rolex is one of the most appreciated gift items on the market; nothing indicates love and respect more than giving one of these fabulous watches to that special someone.

Always Connected To Success
Ever since Hans Wilsdorf and his brother-in-law Alfred Davis began manufacturing these fine watches in 1905 there has been a steady relationship between the name Rolex and those who were pioneers and achievers. Rolex watches have been to the summit of Mt. Everest, on the wrists of those swimming the English Channel, and on the surface of the Moon. It has become the official timekeeper at countless major sporting events, and has ben advertised by sports stars for years. Rolex models are often worn by actors and actresses while filming, and are forever linked to the motion picture industry. The population has in general linked these incredible watches to the rich and famous, and no other brand of fine timepiece has had nearly the overall exposure as a trusted standard of quality and lasting value.

The Gift That Keeps On Ticking
Rolex watches are the perfect gift because they need no introduction or explanation to the recipient. Everyone recognizes the name and the superb craftsmanship that defines these top-of-the-line models. From the very beginning, the company has used innovation and cutting edge technology to produce a watch that outperforms any and all competitors, and used the success of this technology to let the Rolex line advertise itself. Rolex was the first wristwatch to feature automatic date change, deep sea waterproof status, show multiple time zones, and receive certification as a chronometer among the science community. All of these innovations made it the ideal symbol of excellence among those who wore it, and the more visible and admired the person, the more Rolex became a name associated with famous individuals. Men and women considering a special gift invariably find the name Rolex near the top of their list because it invokes a feeling of success and accomplishment.

A Few Styles To Choose From
The Rolex comes in only several varieties, and manufacturing of the vintage watches is somewhat limited, with only about 50,000 units produced every month. The primary lines are Oyster Perpetual, Cellini, and Professional, each with its own set of distinct models. The most popular retail purchase is that of a gift for someone else, and this is evenly split between men and women. The wide assortment of bracelets that accompany the main body of Rolex watches vary in material and offer plenty of personalization while still keeping the unmistakable markings of the brand name itself. It is certainly no wonder that these classy timepieces are so appreciated by those who receive one; the watch seems to fit its owner perfectly, not only in terms of actual style but also for the amazing aural effect it exudes. The pleasure in giving one of these luxury watches certainly equals the joy in owning one, as the gift is one that shows sincere respect and admiration. Today, Rolex continues to innovate and offer new styling variations on its watch models, with an ever so subtle nudge towards the future, a slow changing of appearance to match the contemporary scene.

Many fine watchmakers offer high quality products, and most people are familiar with their names. However, few are able to recognize their timepieces with a mere glance, the exception of course being Rolex. No other brand has earned such a high reputation for excellence and innovative technology, combined with dressy elegance. Rolex watches have stood the test of a century and more, and remain the first choice as a luxurious gift. Their monetary value is retained for the life of the watch itself, which is usually far in excess of the life of the owner. Their styles may change, but their distinct look is perpetual, as is the gratitude of those given one.

You just have to resort to less ethical means of acquiring things! Although it doesn't seem like you would... Too bad people aren't paid for kindness. I guess that's just the way of the world.

Hmmmm, love that Rolex! Love the intel too! Deserves 5*s.
