Define best.

They’re as accurate alost any other mechanical watch.

Many of their models are icons. They have histories.

There aren’t many watches that can seamlessly transition from the beach, to t-shirt and jeans and then a suit and tie.

Which model of Rolex can do this where there isn't a similar watch available from another brand that can do the same, but without a waitlist? Just Tudor alone should be able to match about any Rolex model looks-wise, given Tudor's history and loose connection to Rolex... and with no waiting list and half the price.

Why does the waitlist twist your knickers so much? You can’t stroll into Porsche Tysons as a nobody and buy a GT3 RS. Are you too socially awkward to talk to salespeople?

It's 2026. Most of us have grown an inability to talk to salespeople.

Apparently, because I’m waiting about 1/10th the time for allocated watches these days because I chat with salespeople all the time.

I mean ... how often are you buying "allocated watches" "these days" lol? Chatting with the folks at Lenkersdorfer is your hobby or something? Sounds like you have too much time on your hands (I won't say too much money, because you can't really have too much of that).

And yet Rolex will require you to get on a waiting list for most models, even though they produce 1.1mln watches a year -- the largest watch producer in the world.

Don’t hate because you can’t afford a Rolex.

Mine was a graduation gift from decades ago. I still wear it pretty often . . . it's like an old friend.

At a time when smartphones and Apple Watches are ubiquitous Rolex is as popular as ever.

By branding you mean advertising budget... There is a world of beautiful, elegant, better made watches out there but because 98% of humans are 98% lemming, most don't even consider them.

Rolex watches are ugly.

That is an opinion. And not even a very informed one.

You want a deal? You need to go to the second-hand market for that. And be careful there, even with authenticated Rolex watches, there isn't much of a "deal" to be had.

Richard Mille is ugly.

Hublot is ugly.

Rolex has heritage. Several of their watches are icons. They’re exceptionally good at consistently making luxury watches the world wants. They manufacture everything in house.

About once a year, but the last one came in so quickly it may be two this year.

At an authorized dealer because they have to sell watches at MSRP. Some models sell on the secondary market at retail or just below. It depends on what you want.

LOL at those who think you can walk into a Rolex dealer and out with a new watch. Not likely in most cases. Ever heard of waiting lists?

Exactly.. there is more than one style of Rolex. Clearly the above knows nothing.
