Inside The Manufacture: Going Where Few Have Gone Before �C Inside All Four Rolex Manufacturing Facil
I will begin this detailed article with a wholly unsurprising admission. I love Rolex. I own more of them than any other watch from any other manufacture, and I have always believed its contribution to watchmaking is beyond measure. But, I have another admission. Of the handful of Rolex watches I own, the youngest dates to 1976 – making it, in fact, older than I am. There is and was a distinct difference between the Rolex of today and the Rolex of yesterday, and I don’t think it would come as a surprise to anyone if I said I preferred that of yesterday.

So i have always craved the new Rolex Daytona Ceramic Bezel white dial and after months of waiting/networking/calling - finally found an AD who would sell me one.

Went home with the Daytona - but kept thinking about the Elephant. Long story short, i ended up selling the Daytona at 2nd hand prices after having only worn it for just 2 days and buying the Elephant. Not trying to start a flame war as I still think the Daytona is a beautiful piece, but sometimes, you just love what you love. Hopefully I am not the only one who has turned their backs on common sense for the AP they love..
