Rolex replica II

November 7, 2006

Rolex replica watches are the hottest selling items in the market for replica watches. This parallel industry of replica watches has been on the upward move since the last few years. The demand for a luxury watch being inhibited by the price tags has moved form the original brands to the replica watches. So has the goodwill, since Rolex is one of the most sought after brands despite the price tag, it availability as a Rolex replica has spurned the demand even further.

Despite ethical considerations of wearing a replica watch, Rolex replica watches have been in great demand since the inception of the industry. A Rolex replica watch comes with a 27 jewel ETA Titonic or 34 jewel movement compared to the original that comes in 25 jewel, 27 jewel ETA or 31 jewel Valijoux movements.

Keeping aside the Rolex replica, the original Rolex was founded in 1905, by Mr. Hans Waldron, a German, in London. Christened as Wilsdorf & Davis, they manufactured pocket watches and gradually expanded to the wrist watch market by successfully adapting the large accurate movements of the pocket watches to fit the wrist watches. 1910 saw Rolex getting its chronometer rating, the first in the world from School of Horology in Switzerland.

Official validation came in 1914 from London’s Kew Observatory, when they certified that a Rolex wristwatch is precise as a marine chronometer. Wilder, who was utterly taken by the precision, went on to develop a screw crown and casebook mechanism that was another first to the watch industry. This design kept moisture and dust out and increased the reliability.

This gave birth to the first water proof watch that was advertised across the world by keeping the watches immersed in aquariums in showrooms across the world to satisfy the skeptical consumer. This increased the brand awareness of Rolex and contributed to increased sales, which even today helps the Rolex replica sales.

1928 saw the Rolex Prince and 1932 saw the Rolex rotor enabling the advent of automatic winding of watches. 1945 saw the invention of Date just, the first ever wrist watch to sport a calendar. Rolex went to Switzerland after the First World War to cut the prohibitive custom levies on some movement parts, as a step to cut costs.

Here onwards, Rolex went form strength to strength and bought in many firsts to the watch industry. The charm of owning a Rolex lies in its rich history and its commitment to excellence and quality.

Even today, Rolex manufactures the best watches in the luxury segment. The kind of time and resources that go into making a Rolex watch greatly enhance the pricing, but being a luxury brand, Rolex can afford to keep it high and out of reach of most people to keep the exclusivity and appeal in place. These aspects of price and appeal raise the demand and thus widen the Rolex replica market. Replica watches are just a substitute but they do appeal to the ego and status of a person who cannot afford an original.

This timeless appeal of a Rolex watch is often an excellent investment. It is known that Rolex watches that have been sold after 20-30 years have fetched prices double the original. A Rolex replica watch however does not have the same appeal or resale value. Replica watches serve the purpose of satisfying a human desire, and they perform admirably at a fraction of the cost.

Replica watches are available in various qualities. A Rolex replica watch, made in Switzerland is considered the best of all replica watches, since it is made with almost the same components and quality measures of the original. Rolex replica watches made in Switzerland are also the most expensive in the replica watch market.
