Now if only they gave up on the ROLEXROLEXROLEXROLEX. I will admit that I haven't seen them in person, but at least on photos it looks just annoying.

-Agreed. It is somewhat more subtle IRL than in the photos, but still an annoyance, IMHO.

The solution is to develop a taste for vintage Rolexes...

Get a Tisell. Won't say Rolex anywhere on it, but looks awfully like a Rolex

Doesn't change the functionality but our society is driven by outward appearances so this isn't surprising. I suppose if one can afford a Rolex, they can probably afford to have it "antiqued" too.

I own several with this engraving.
 
It is VERY subtle in real life. Almost don't notice unless you are looking for it.

Agree, try to see it here (of course you can, but only if you search for it):

No Rolex fan here, this crown logo just screams look at me, and they just look plain standard, haven't seen a rolex that catched my eye, ever. Don't know it's so popular in the usa

Wow. I really don't like that at all. Aside from the over-the-top nature of it, the style of engraving seems directly at odds with the "high-tech" Milgauss purpose and branding (and lightning hand).
 
I guess money doesn't mean taste.

Certainly not everyone's taste...
 
I will say this...they have been a rock solid place to put some money. I bought my step-father a steel & gold submariner in 2003 for just over $5000 new. That same watch is pushing $13,000 now. The same has happened with all the Rolex's I have bought in the last 10 years.
 
I would never call them an investment, but Rolex is one of those very few consumable items you can use for 10+ years and get your money back out of and then some. I have owned a lot of watches - Rolex, Breitling, Patek, etc...Rolex is by far the best performer for overall reliability and return on investment. They are one of the few manufactures now who make most or all of their product in house. Breitling is a good example of an $8000 watch with a $35 movement in it made by a McWatch movement company (ETA, etc...) They are bringing some stuff in-house, but they have a long way to go to establish a firm reputation for making reliable movements.

Can someone who owns a Rolex tell how much are the maintenance costs? Assuming you just send in for service after 5-10 years of normal use.

Every 7-10 years you will spend around $700 US for a service assuming you didn't absolutely beat the hell out of it (normal wear and tear).

Thanks! Not too bad then. The new Daytona is really, really sweet.
