She needs no introduction

What I can say about this watch after wearing it for over a year is that it's hard to wear anything else, but that's hardly news. It's the quintessential everyday watch. It has a prestigious history, even if that history is sometimes questioned. In any case, the 36mm size is perfect for everyday wear, incredibly comfortable, and it goes with everything, from any style to any activity. What I appreciate now (and what I would certainly have missed if I were younger) is its understated elegance. At the office, no one notices I'm wearing a Rolex (except for those in the know). It's not ostentatious; it manages to be discreet and elegant while giving the impression of wearing one of the best watches on the market, which remains relatively affordable, and it also evokes a sense of adventure. In short, I own a Rolex.
