5 popular myths and misconceptions about Rolex watches
- Rolex produces the most expensive watches
Rolex timepieces are on the list of some of the most high-priced watches, but they are still more accessible than Patek Philippe and some other models and brands.
- Rolex watches do not lose their value with time
Luxury watches might become a good investment in the future, and Rolex wristwatches are some of the best investment watches on the market. And yet, it all depends on the particular model, and thus the outcome may vary a lot.
- They do not tick
Ticking is usually associated with quartz movements, which, many still believe, Rolex has never used. In reality, Rolex luxury watches tick the same way as other watches, so you cannot probably spot the fake.
- Rolex uses in-house movements only
In its early days, Rolex used movements made by the Aegler company of Biel/Bienne. Later on, the company started manufacturing them itself.
- Rolex case-backs have no markings
It is rare, yes, but Rolex watches have markings. For example, Rolex Deepsea and vintage Sea-Dweller models have engravings on the back.
