Rolex

[Baded]

A few weeks ago my wife and I were on the Enchantment of the Seas and one of the shops was selling pre owned Rolex watches, does anyone know if they are selling them on the Independence of the seas?

You might ask the people who run the shops

I was on the NOS last fall and they were doing the same. I inspected the watches and read the fine print. I would stay away from these if I was you. READ THE FINE PRINT.

Actually, I would never buy another Rolex watch. :mad:

Mine was bought new and requires frequent trips to its Swiss home (alone, without me). :rolleyes:

They'll send it back saying it's fixed ... then only works for a while.

I bought Rolex for $20. I just don't understand how they managed to spell "Rolex" with a P as "Polex";)

I collect fine watches....on occasion, a RARE occasion, I find a decent deal on board.

 

But, the majority of their sales....are not........ they aren't deals. I checked out a few watches last week on Navigator and I question the authenticity of a few...

If you're buying a Rolex, ONLY buy from an authorized dealer.

 

It would also make sense to buy it locally, so you can bring it to the authorized dealer for maintenance on a regular basis.

I know they might look nice, but who want's to buy a watch that "needs" regular maintenance. Isn't the goal of paying a premium price for a watch is to get something dependable that doesn't require maintenance ?

P.S. My timex is also good at keeping track of when my steaks are cooked on the BBQ, 2 time zones, 3 alarms (vibrates) and much more.

 

P.S.S. I do have a nicer watch for formal nights ;)

Rolex are not sold on any of the RCI ships. The best you will find are Tags and Omegas.

Yes, wind it up, and it's guaranteed to run for 3 yards right up the middle; just like the Penn State offense

I agree with only buying from an authorized dealer 100%!! I have bought two nice watches recently and one of them was a TAG on the Navigator. I looked over it very throughly and made sure it came with the proper warranty cards. (Only AD will provide stamped/signed warranty cards.) Tip: make sure the warranty card serial number matches the serial number on the watch.

Every automatic watch that I know of has to be serviced a regular intervals to make sure the watch stays in tip top shape. If you do not understand why this is, I suggest using google. :)

I understand the practical argument but enjoy wearing my Rolex every day. The service part is just something we have to accept.

 

Sort of like driving a Cadillac when a Chevy will get you to where you want to go just as well. There's something to be said for driving a nice car.

Well said! Bought an Omega last year and I love wearing it every day. Already wanting another... :rolleyes:

The maintenance on a Rolex is a bit overstated. My authorized dealer advised to service every seven years. My Yacht Master was serviced last year, complete service and bezel polish for right at $700.00. $100 per year is not prohibitive for me. One piece of advice, ALWAYS use authorized dealers for purchase and service. You would not want aftermarket parts installed in your watch. As far as if a Rolex is worth the price, you need to decided that for yourself.
