Depending on what context you are using, there is a difference between a cheap Rolex watch and a discount Rolex watch. A cheap Rolex can also be a discount but more than likely if you say you bought a new Rolex and found out it was cheap you probably bought it from a street vendor and did not quite get what you were hoping you would get. Particularly, in the world of high-priced Rolex watches, the saying you get what you pay for is definitely in effect. If you think you are getting a great deal on a Rolex from a street vendor, you are most probably getting something that is not authentic and may not work properly.
Do decide to buy a Rolex
Do decide to buy a Rolex. I think that is why you rarely see these elitist watches nowhere but typically in jewelry shops. Rolex has such a stigma attached to it that the only way you can feel like you are getting the real deal is to pay a lot for one.
If you would like to appreciate the financial investment, a Rolex watch involves then go to eBay and do a couple of searches. First do a search on a vintage version of the brand. Whenever you put the word vintage in front of anything you can rest assured that the price difference between the standard model and the vintage model will be inflated. Rolex watches are no different when it comes to the vintage tag. A search of vintage Rolex watches shows watches ranging in price from over $70,000 to $5 but the thing that is even more interesting than that is the long list of vintage Rolex watches that go unsold on eBay.
Maybe it is the starting bid of 99 cents...
Maybe it is the starting bid of 99 cents that scares people off from buying a vintage Rolex on eBay but it does go to show one thing. It goes to show that as risky as it can be buying a Rolex watch it is just as risky trying to make a living selling them as well. With the proliferation of less than reputable people trying to sell junk watches as Rolex watches it makes people a little wary when they buy the commodity.
Obviously, Rolex does not just offer product for men...
Obviously, Rolex does not just offer product for men as there is a very broad line of women's Rolex watches as well and they are priced just as much as the men's Rolex watches. Why are Rolex watches so expensive? They are made with the highest precision craftsmanship to be exact at all times whether they are telling you the time where you are or the time 3 time zones away.
Rolex has a reputation for being very precise time pieces and not only are you paying for the quality but you are also paying for the guarantee of quality that the name Rolex comes with
It is a double-edged sword though as that name of Rolex...
It is a double edged sword though as that name of Rolex has been twisted by so many people of bad reputation that it is difficult to know when you are getting a Rolex and when you are not. Perhaps the best way to know if you are getting a genuine Rolex is to buy one from an authorized dealer and be prepared to pay a lot for it.
