Rolex

Everyone knows that Rolex, contrary to many other watch manufacturers, has no company website. Their information policy was and is, well, rather peculiar.

On the other hand, a simple search for the word "Rolex" on AltaVista found 74,740 webpages. Obviously, the company is present on the web.
If you look at these pages, however, you will notice that an overwhelming majority is about buying and selling Rolex watches - mostly selling.

The idea of this webpage is to lead you to at least some links where you will find what you are probably looking for - some factual information about Rolex watches, e.g., pictures, data, information about serial numbers that helps you to date a watch etc.
