What is the basic thing that differnttiate rolex from other luxury watches?
Answer
It's not a top luxury brand. Not even close....
The price range where Rolex sells is basically a beginning/low-end of luxury Swiss time piece. What Rolex did is clever and excellent advertising and resulting name recognition. Everybody knows Rolex, and Rolex is associated with luxury.
It's special because owners value them. It's special because people value them.
Is it more accurate than Casio? NO.
Is it more durable than cheap digital watches? NO.
Is it better water proof than most? YES.
Brands like Patek Philippe is considered the higher end of luxury watches. These are priced where Rolex ends and goes upward of 1 million dollars without any precious stones.
By the way.....
People don't buy these to look at time. These are bought as jewelry. It's value is not its functionality.

What watch brand should I buy?
needguitar
I am 21 and I am considering purchasing a watch for an everyday wear at the office, or at play.
The conditions i really want is that the watch should be luxury sport, automatic chrono.
I've set my eyes on the Tag Carrera Daydate. however, my parents have told me about watch resale values and how Tags dont have them compared to rolex and IWC. This really troubles me because it seems that the closer i get to buying an "investment watch" with premium branding, the less it seems that it can be an everyday watch. So what do you guys think? Is the tag carrera really personal garbage forever once i buy it? what about the IWC Spitfire?
and steel strap, no leather as sweat makes it.. uncool
what brands do u suggest between IWC, breitling, and Tag
Answer
You don't buy a watch as an investment. Only watches in the $10,000 plus range hold their value, and even then, they rarely go up much. Unless you are fascinated by the differences in the internal workings (say, triple axis tourbillon vs. flying tourbillon), watches are jewelry, and you should buythem as such. Buy the one you think looks best, and buy the next one based on the variety it adds to your wardrobe.
As for other brands, for men I like Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Baume & Mercier, and Patek Phillipe. Most steel Tags are great "working watches," since they are automatics, and I actually think their leather Carrera's are beautiful and nothing to look down upon.
