Corum Admiral¡äs Cup Challenge 44 GMT /D.S.R. NEW

Anyone here ever this
Stopped by the Jewler today to have a look at the Rolex watches he had in stock. I struct up a conversation with the man behind the counter. He told me that in the many well to do circles of the world, Rolex is considered a low end or cheap watch. He said there is a lot of time pieces that are far better than the Rolex. He started to tell me about the Patek and a few others. I couldn't beleive what he told me. I always thought Rolex was rated numer one in the Horological world. I guess that shows how much I don't know! Just wondering though, has anyone here ever heard Rolex being considered a low end in Swiss watches.Rob

Insurance on Watches
I wanted to see how many of you guys had insurance on your time pieces. I have only this one Panerai and I was thinking about getting insurance on it since I have insurance on the wife's ring in case it gets lost or stolen but wondered if it was worth getting on the watch.I got quoted at $755 a year for insurance to add it to my homeowners. As much as i love the piece of mind I am wondering if it's really worth it. At that rate I could just save it up and buy a new watch in a few years lol.EDIT: Just heard back about insurance. That was the price of everything I have on the policy together lol. Other Jewelry, homeowners etc...not just the watch alone...sorry guys.
