Ian Fleming Wasn't Always Right Mar 21, 2012 By William M. Powell
I got a Rolex Oyster because Bond had one. It stopped from time to time, cost $200 every couple of years to keep it running, and didn't keep time anywhere as well as a $2 quartz oscillator watch. It did look nice. Eventually I gave it to my son in law; he likes pretty things even if they don't work very well.

Worldwide Excellence Mar 14, 2012 By Pyanfar Chanur
I was surprised to see the Rolex Datejust Oyster Perpetual men's watch here at Amazon: I've had mine since 2001 and have had zero regrets in owning one. Mine is a black face with gold strokes for the numbers, and a stainless steel and gold band. Custom orders like mine ship directly from Rolex and a genuine product will arrive from Switzerland in a box with a wax seal, as the pictures posted here show. It will include a certificate of authenticity and the first thing I suggest you do is phone your insurance agent and have it added to your insurance policy.

In a time when men's watches trend towards massive chunks of metal and gems, the Datejust Oyster Perpetual is an elegant understatement. It is fairly average-sized (I have posted pictures here for reference) and while some can be customized with pearl faces and diamond inlays, the ones I've seen are all more modest like mine.

Is there a certain amount of status tied to this watch? Of course--it's like saying "Do you think Ferrari has a good reputation, as sports cars go?" Just like a supercar, if you get your hands on a Rolex, you know it. It feels different. For its smaller size, the Datejust is heavy. It's dense with whatever Swiss engineering has been carefully orchestrated into the body. The body is carved from a single piece of metal, and the 'teardrop bezel' is made from sapphire: it seems impossible to scratch. The cyclopean lens above the date magnifies well, but still looks as if it really is a teardrop about to slide away.

I have worn my Rolex in an everyday fashion for over 10 years now, and it's held up very well. The reason I do this is because it is kinetically powered, and if you leave it off your wrist more than a day or two without winding it, the Rolex will wind down and you'll have to wind and reset it before putting it on. Because the stem is very specifically engineered to keep the watch airtight, it can be a bit tedious undoing the stem to wind it. Naturally, it gets put on a shelf if I'm sticking my hands in a car or a computer, or I'm breaking out yard equipment, but otherwise it stays on me. People notice it and comment on it--and any time I put it in their hands, there's that moment when they feel that same sensation I did: that this is definitely a densely-crafted work of art, a standard the rest of the world admires.

NOTE: If you do purchase a Rolex, you should commit to having the watch serviced every 5 years--just like you'd be sure to change the oil in a Ferrari. Authorized service centers can be found on the website, but it is important that you do not skip this crucial step. I waited just over 6 years and my Rolex stopped working completely--getting it serviced made it new again.
