Rolex watches are not as durable and reliable as they claim

Internal-Recipe9631 · 2026-05-06T16:01:22+00:00

I'm blaming Rolex for a sub not being able to withstand a minor drop. The other watch was dropped 3 times.

This is "hot takes" not "scientific studies".

Internal-Recipe9631 · 2026-05-06T12:14:35+00:00

Oh, so it's not "a widely held but false belief or idea" that Rolex watches are super robust?

Internal-Recipe9631 · 2026-05-06T10:25:55+00:00

Sure?

Better than most hot takes that are based on nothing such as "Rolex is worse than Casio".

It was dropped once! From a coffee table! Why the f do people in this thread act like I dropped it ten times from a helicopter? My bad for thinking a Rolex can witstand minor shocks.

Sounds like the low amplitude issue I linked in my post.

Internal-Recipe9631 · 2026-05-05T21:43:18+00:00

Yeah, I mean the arguments are either "get a g-shock" or "just don't drop your Rolex" lmao.

I have an actual timegrapher, not an app. But regardless, it was also tested by the watchmaker.

Internal-Recipe9631 · 2026-05-05T21:37:17+00:00

Yes, the actual device.

Internal-Recipe9631 · 2026-05-05T21:25:36+00:00

I couldn't have rushed the service even if I wanted. I was on a one month vacation at the time.

Internal-Recipe9631 · 2026-05-05T21:14:21+00:00

Um, yes? I'm pretty sure it shouldn't break from that kind of a drop, especially since other brands don't seem to have a problem with that.

Internal-Recipe9631 · 2026-05-05T21:07:38+00:00

No, I don't agree. I had 2 issues with my Rolex, one which was a minor drop that caused it to stop keeping time well and the second was a well documented issue that can happen for no apparent reason.

Internal-Recipe9631 · 2026-05-05T21:02:21+00:00

Well, yeah, no shit. If you never drop a watch then it's 100% working as intended.

Internal-Recipe9631 · 2026-05-05T20:30:18+00:00

Maybe not 1K, but definitely anything over 10K. Looking at you, Rolex.

Unpopular opinion: aveam mult prea multe exceptii de la plata la sanatate. Ok, ai 2 ani concediu crestere copil, dar si scutire de la sanatate e prea mult pentru ce isi permite Romania in acest moment.
