[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was going to get one for my husband a few years ago. When we shopped for one, they said that they drop time yearly and are not a time piece used to accurate time. The Jeweler (Tyson’s 2) said if you want a time piece to tell time, don’t get a Rolex. We thought that was dumb so we didn’t get one. [/quote]

This is correct. But it’s always been that way. If you want accurate time get $20 Timax or Casio[/quote]

Not correct.  Rolex is a very accurate mechanical watch.  I think most have COSC certification, which requires them to be accurate with plus or minus two seconds a day.  Sure, a digital watch likely will be even more accurate, but saying that a Rolex isn’t accurate is not really true.  There’s also an aesthetic consideration.  Some people like to wear a nice looking watch.  Sounds like OP’s husband is one of those people.

OP, my DW got me a watch as a wedding gift years ago.  Not a Rolex, but another high-end brand.  I never really wore a watch before then, but have worn it daily ever since.[/quote]

Lol @ another high end brand… only one Rolex! That’s what makes it unique [/quote]

Lol, you obviously don’t know much about watches.  Rolex is probably the most famous watch brand in the world but is actually on the low end of the luxury watch price scale.  Brands like Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet have far higher price points than Rolex.[/quote]
