Counterfeiting is an ancient practice that has existed for as long as the demand for luxury needed to be met. Anything that can be desirable and in high demand, can be counterfeit to meet the needs of those who otherwise would not have the opportunity to have a similar looking possession. Counterfeiting doesn't just devalue the brand that is being forged, it also hurts the consumer.
Rolex Military watches are a rare and stunning find. Created at the beginning of World War I, these timepieces were given out to the high ranking British military officers. Rolex designed these watches with durability and longevity in mind. Over the course of the war, not many of these watches survived and even less are in excellent condition.
Rolex is a brand that is synonymous with timeless beauty and grace. In recent years, more and more women choose Rolex over any other brand due to its versatility, striking design, captivating brilliance, and reliability. A Rolex watch had graced the wrist of many influential women.
There are plenty of luxury and tool watch brands on the market today, however, none of them come close to the precision and expert craftsmanship of a Rolex watch. From the early beginning Rolex watchmakers pushed the boundaries of horology to create incredible timepieces that would eventually earn the company the nickname of the "King" of watches.
There are hundreds of Rolex watches out there, but what if you want to stand out of the Rolex crowd? Anyone can have a Datejust or a Day-Date, a Daytona or a Submariner, but not everyone will be able to wear a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 116598 RBOW, a rare double red Submariner 1665, a Rolex Datejust II 116334, a diamond set Rolex GMT-Master II 116769TBR just to name a few.
An expertly crafted, luxury watch requires proper care and regular service in order to perform to its best ability. Although Rolex watches are extremely precise and reliable, taking care of your timepieces is just as important as taking care of your luxury car, yet it is something that most owners overlook. There are a few things that a Rolex owner can do in order to keep the watch looking and running like new between service times.
A luxury watch deserves a luxury bracelet. Rolex bracelets are known for comfort, durability, and exquisite styles designed to suit any taste. A Rolex bracelet serves as an extension of the watch and usually transitions seamlessly from the case to the clasp. Of course, there is a large variety of bracelet options available with various finishes, gems, and metal alloys.
Some collectors prefer to acquire their watches as pre-owned pieces from retailers as well as auction houses. As the counterfeiters continue to fill the market with faux Rolex watches, the question of authenticity weighs heavily on the minds of many collectors. Some of the reproductions are so good that only a professional watchmaker can distinguish between an authentic piece and a forgery.
