currently there's a active discussion on usenet about the watches as an endangered species, it reflects general public's view on watches, i found most of these are very accurate.

below are some excerpts from this discussion:

"I just bought a new Swiss watch that is accurate within 1/10 second a day. I was excited by the technology in addition to having a fine watch. I showed it to my millionaire relatives (no exaggeration). My sister couldn't care less. If a watch is within 5 minutes of the actual time it is fine with her. My nieces don't wear a watch and it is the last thing on their minds. My brother-in-law has a black plastic Casio that tells the temperature that I gave to him 10 years ago. He has replaced the black band with a silver colored metal one (imagine what that looks like). He bought a cheap watch on a cruise that lasted about 6 months (the watch that is). Is this normal for the majority of people? Does anyone care about a fine watch anymore?"

as for Rolex's current position in chinese market, one author noted:

quote:

in China a gold Rolex is still the absolute requirement to show that you are a successful businessman & so China is turning into one of Rolex's biggest markets. BTW, Rolex's biggest selling model is not a man's watch but a ladies model - the datejust IIRC. A ladies model is also the one that does best on the COSC tests.

unquote.

for those who're interested, here's the link to that discussion:
