What is the deal with Rolex stainless steel?
Rolex isn’t one of the top-selling luxury watch brands on the planet for no good reason. They know that they have a strong product. They also know that it’s reached cult status with many watch fans around the world, they know they can count on a rich legacy of gracing the wrists of adventurers explorers. The sports models have simply captured the imagination of the buyers’ market.
There’s a much-whispered notion that Rolex is stockpiling watches to create a shortage generate a buzz, but that’s not the case. In fact, Rolex is actually manufacturing more watches than they did last year – but the demand for Rolex still outstrips the supply.
Every year, Rolex increases production in small increments to avoid flooding the market reducing the value of all models on the market, Instead, their steady hand ensures carefully controlled growth stability.
Consider this strategy – Rolex will only make watches to the highest of standards will not compromise on quality to make a quick buck when fashion falls in their favour. Not only does it say something of Rolex’s business acumen integrity, but it also speaks volumes about the watches that they have made over the years. If you’re already sporting a Rolex, you can be sure that it will not only have held its value but will most likely have grown in value.
