Master Replica Rolex Yacht
Advertising
A lot of this seems to be text from advertising. Check out the very last sentence for an example.
Bold formatting
Is all that bold formatting necessary? I don't like it... TastyCakes 21:53, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
Helium release valve
I have edited the part on the gas valve, which is actually a "helium release valve". Rolex and Doxa S.A. were the co-inventors of this valve, first commercial watch with the valve was actually the Doxa Conquistidor in 1969, followed by the Rolex in 71. This is from the recent article about Doxa in the WatchTime magazine and confirmed in other places, I think its on the Doxa website along with the patent that lists both Doxa and Rolex. edit-- signature Lgreen 16:36, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Mariana Trench
I find this quite incredible (in both senses of the word). A pressure of 108.6 MPa exists at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Statements like this needs proper references to stay in a factual document.
"Wilsdorf even went so far as to have a specially made Rolex watch attached to the side of the Trieste bathyscaphe, which went to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The watch survived and tested as having kept perfect time during its descent and ascent."
Fake Rolex
It's a fascinating subtopic that could be expanded upon. Travelling the globe, I have seen so many on sale. The fakes are even rated by grades replete with elaborate, slick catalogues and brochures printed for the vendors, with South Korea & China apparently producing some of the highest level "reproductions." These are sometimes called class-A reproductions and are so thoroughly and well-made that its nearly impossible to tell a fake even if one were taken apart. So the name Rolex, then, can apparently be worth 12,000 dollars---minus the 20 Euros one finds them selling for in Italy. . . . Fascinating topic keepable under the Rolex article heading: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and 75% of fakes are Rolex!
Fake Rolex Made in?
Most good quality fake rolex are made in japan, not only made in china. Most Hong Kong and Macau watch factories already moved to Mainland China, how they made fake? Japanese also make fake product, not only chinese. COMPLETELY BIAS , please in google search "Japan made Rolex replicas" for details.
Picture gallery?
I have added a Rolex picture gallery several times. Why has it been removed? Been trying to add http://www.newturfers.com/bin/mwf/board_show.pl?bid=29
Added again and removed again!
Criticism
I've reverted to the version of criticism from which people had removed some citations, then added some more.
Who is the genius who...
... wrote the criticism section? Whoever it is doesnt know swat about watches! I mean what kind of a bafoon compares mechanical with quartz??? Pears and apples anyone??? Seems to have been written by someone who has an issue with Rolex! lutherian 06:09, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Ooops, I linked another forum also without knowing that it could be considered spam, sorry. I'm going to submit a couple pictures instead.
Criticism section removed
There is absolutely no need for this, none of the other brand references in wiki contains a criticism section so this entry is totally impartial and POV. lutherian 09:14, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Pictures?
How can I post a picture of my Rolex watch?
I think that this section deserves photos of real Rolexes as opposed to just that fake.
I own 4 of them and can post personal photos of them. The Yacht master in Platinum, Submariner in Steel and TT ( Steel and Gold) and the GMT master II
I have uploaded a pic of my YM ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:P1010380.JPG) . Someone please format it properly. I just cant figure it out
I now see that my Yachtmaster picture is up for deletion. Why?
Please remove Rolex replicas section
I pointed out before, not only taiwan and china made fake rolex. but some PEOPLE edit this and wrote Only Chinese make fake rolex. Does it mean wikipedia is full of Racism?
Removed POV tag
I removed the POV tag. It was added the other day by Gwernol in response to the criticisms section being removed. But as I pointed out above, Criticisms are welcome -- it's just that nobody has come up with any VERIFIABLE / CITABLE criticisms. Personal essays on why you think Rolex's are a rip-off are not encyclopedic and a violation of WP:NOR. I see no need to clutter the article with a POV tag when the reasons for the section's removal had nothing to do with POV. --Rehcsif 19:03, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Rolex "linkspam"
While many of the external links in the Rolex section might very well be linkspam, not all are. To delete the hubpages.com link, which has the most comprehensive information on Rolex models I've seen on the Web, seems really excessive. There are reviews on all the current, plus plenty of classic models, plus history about the company.
Thank you Exeunt and Atlant. James let me know that he'll continue to add data in the reviews to flesh them out a bit, too. 66.92.0.17 17:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Gwernol removed the link early yesterday with a standardized message to not put external spam links. I tried contacting him using the talk function but have yet to hear a reply. Was that an automated action by a bot? Can I put the link back up? Thank you. 66.92.0.17 23:11, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Found that the link was removed again. Reverted link. Please do not delete link without at least discussing here. --66.92.0.17 17:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
"Sweep" second hand
From http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=2277&rid=0:
A sweep second hand is one that is mounted in the center of the dial and sweeps over the entire face. This is in contrast to a "seconds sub-dial" that is typically at 6 o'clock (AKA "6-eater"). A sweep second hand can be on a quartz or mechanical movement--it does not say anything about whether it ticks once a second or more smoothly. Okay, this isn't a FAQ but rather the maintainer's pet peeve but many newbies misuse the term. Don't believe me? Look it up in the dictionary. 216.18.38.241 15:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Rolex Reference Page
The Rolex Reference Page would be a good add to the external links - www.rolexreferencepage.com
Mechanical versus Quartz Sweep Action
The article has it backwards. The seconds hand in mechanical movements of a genuine non-quartz Rolex "tick." Quartz movements in the fake cause the seconds hand to move smoothly. Seth1066 16:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Looks like it has been corrected. Seth1066 16:36, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Contradiction: Tick or Sweep?
There is an inconsistency in the Replicas section:
One good test to spot if the watch is a fake or not can be performed simply by looking at it. Most Rolex models have a self-winding mechanical movement, which "ticks" (that is, will move quickly, pause momentarily then repeat the action) from one second indicator to another. The majority of all cheaply made fakes have a simple battery powered quartz movement which makes the second hand move smoothly around the watch face.
and
Some higher-end replicas use quality materials such as reliable ETA automatic movement with a smoothly moving second hand like a genuine Rolex ...
So do genuine Rolex tick or sweep? The change to the first paragraph was made by:
14:10, 11 January 2007 138.88.110.35 (Talk) (→Rolex replicas - Switched minute hand movement descriptions, i.e. quartz/fake=smooth; mechanical/genuine=ticks)
I have to mention that I found this article while watching CSI Miami where they find a body underground by listening to the fake Rolex ticking. One of the CSI even said that real Rolex don't tick. Now, that's gotta be true. ;)
Also found this: http://www.qualitytyme.net/pages/rolex_faqs.html
Do genuine Rolex watches tick?
This has been a big misconception regarding Rolex watches, "sweeping" versus "ticking". And in the past people used this as a method of identifying counterfeit Rolex watches.
The truth is, genuine Rolex watches do, in fact, "tick". However, they tick at around 5 to 6 times per second, so it gives the illusion of "sweeping" or "floating" around the dial. If you watch the second hand with a loupe you can see it.
In the past, cheap counterfeits would utilize quartz movements, and thus would "tick" once per second. However, these days counterfeits use mechanical movements that appear to "float", but only at around 3 to 4 times per second. This gives what we call a "choppy step", and can also be spotted with a loupe.
