Rolex...ah Beng or Uncle Watch.

Two tone, all gold and diamond Dayjust and Date-Day are uncle and those wearing them wants to make a statement telling everyone how rich and uncle they are.

All sport models in stainless are cool and representing a piece of Rolex history. None of the sport models are uncle. They are cool, trendy and functional.

depends on how u are dressed and the mannerisms i guess.

datejust is uncle
sports model is younger

Agree. The date just is super uncle looking. Esp the full gold version which you can see is normally worn only by rich uncles in their 50s-60s.

its not the age but more the model one wears?
like what some bros say datejust = unker and GMT = youngster :P

Definitely no for me. If is a uncle watch brand y so many ppl or younger generation start buying rolex? Even myself got my first rolex sub tt 1 week back. Got it bcos of the beauty n the value of the watch. Maybe too many ppl are being skeptical when they see the older generation wearing full gold diamond rollie so to them rolex are so called uncle brand.

rolex can be either young or uncle. depends on the person

[Davelim]

Yes... but anyways, already an uncle...

[remus383]

dun think it is an uncle brand
having said that, we should see for those who answer no - what is the percentage of them falls in the uncle age group

bro, age alone cannot determine if a person is 'uncle' or not! a 30 year old guy could be more 'uncle' than a 55 year old!

neiughbourhood kopitiam = rolex corner.

But usually not sports models.

Really depends, very often it base on own observation who wears them in the environment they hang around in. A friend of mine, takes lots of taxi rides, hang around coffee shops for his daily meals, he thinks Rolex is a uncle brand, cos the ppl around him, taxi drivers, contractors... are the ones he spotted wearing Rolexes.
I works in a creative environment, I work with one of top fashion photographers and stylists. They wear Rolexes. The places I been to, the like of alternative clothing stores, hip cafes and eateries. Loads of youngsters, late 20s to mid 30s, wear Rolexes.
Thus I would view Rolex not a uncle brand. I find youngster wearing Rollies looks more appealing then old folkies (sorry guys, I'm half way there myself).
Singapore always have some sort of trend drifting in and out, for the watches industry, Pam probably started the whole trend of owning a Lux brand, and along the way, we probably have AP (didnt last for very long, I guess the price point is a little high) and for the pass 2 years, I guess its Rolex. Let's see how long this trend is gonna last...
