There are many luxury watches such as the Omega, Patek Phillipe, Breitling, Longines, to name a few. They are without exception wonderful watches. However they just lack that Rolex feeling. Something that is hard to describe but is totally present when you wear a Rolex.

Nearly everyone recognises a Rolex for what it is. When they see one on someone's wrist they mentally note this person as someone who is above the crowd so to speak. Someone who has a strong personality and doesn't flaunt a gaudy emblem of power or riches. Someone who is to be looked up to as a person of good taste.

If they see an Omega,a Breitling or any one of the other very costly watches many people will not recognise it for what it is. It may cost more than a Rolex but it just doesn't have that same panache. It's just another watch to them. These are top quality watches but they are not recognised as a status symbol to nearly the same extent.

There are many other makes of luxury watch which can cost more than a Rolex. People who admire fine watches will have their own favorite choice. They just don't have that certain feeling that a Rolex puts forth. An understated emblem of power and wealth for many owners. For others just the best watch available at any price. If I had to choose another great watch I would consider the Omega as another I would be proud and happy to wear.

James Bond wore a Rolex. No diamond studded emblem of his personality for 007. Just a plain elegant Rolex which told everyone that here was a man who knew what he wanted in life and had got it. No need to say more.

Luxury watches have always been a popular accessory for the wealthy or those who want to appear wealthy. Many thousands of cheap fake watches sell every year for this reason. But of what value are they. Will wearing a cheap fake improve your position in life or how you feel about yourself? I don't think so.

The best way to save on buying a real Rolex or any other luxury watch such as the Breitling, Omega, Patek Phillipe and so on is to buy a used watch. Used luxury watches can often be found at a fraction of the price of a new watch.
