Rolex WatchesJust about everybody has heard of Rolex watches. Of course, most of us don't own one, but we recognize the name and the fancy watches when we see them. Rolex watches come from Switzerland, the legendary land of clocks and watches, springs and gears. Oddly enough, they actually got their start in England before moving the company to Geneva in 1912. Rolex engineering is known for its high-quality and precision time pieces, which are a luxury item due to their high prices and low supply - Rolex invented the first waterproof watch in the 1920s. Rolex sells about 700K watches per year, bringing in several billion dollars in sales. How much do Rolex watches cost? Sold largely through jewelers and specialty dealers, Rolex watches can sell from $4000 to $40,000, with the average Rolex fetching around $7-8K.
Best Rolex Watches:
Buying a Rolex - Rolex DealersThe official Rolex website is at Rolex.com/en. You can start there to learn about the various styles of watches they offer, both men and womens watches. Did you know the triplock winding crown (the little pullout mechanism on the side for winding the watch) on some models is waterproof down to the depth prowled by submarines? Or that the parachrom hairspring is designed to be resistant to magnetic fields and shocks? Or that Rolex has its own gold foundry for processing the gold used in its watches? Or that they invented the perpetual rotor in 1931, making the first self-winding watch? You can find all that and more at the website. You can also find an authorized Rolex dealer near you by calling 1-800-367-6539. A few authorized online dealers include SwissLuxury.com and AlanFurman.com - you can see models and get prices quotes from both of these sites. Some of the most popular Rolex watches include:
Fake Rolex Watches:As with most expensive designer products, you'll find people trying to sell Rolex knock-offs -- sometimes for $25 (yeah, you can probably be sure that's not a "real" Rolex!), sometimes for several hundred dollars using much more expensive components and manufacturing. But selling and trading in counterfeit trademarked goods is illegal. Don't risk getting in trouble for trafficking in illegal goods or blow money on some piece of junk that will probably fall to pieces a few days or weeks later. Hey, we can't all afford Rolexes, and some of us don't want to spend that much on a watch anyways -- so buy a cheaper brand, not a Rolex replica!

A Rolex watch is a great investment and certainly holds its value over time quite well. You can 
. Don't forget about the ladies watches. Rolex also makes a complete line for women and they are a very elegant piece of jewelry in our minds. You can find a few under $4000, but most are priced upwards of $5000. Again, women love fine jewelry and watches tend to hold their value. They make a great gift and are often handed down from generation to generation in families.
