@ breitling making rolex step up their game. Who even rocks a breitling anymore? Everyone is on the rolex game which is a good and bad thing (ace hood's Rollie bezel)

rolex watches fell OFF by da 2000's....and bretling dominated for a decade plus, its just recently when rolex came back with

da big face variants that they came for a comeback, not to mention that yellow gold came back strong.

but you are talking strictly about da rap scene. outside of rap and hip hop, rolex was still doing fine.

I remember Ben Baller posting pics and saying ROLEX lost their appeal, celebs were giving them to their girls.
I think he posted Paris Hilton wearing a men's Rolex.

 Rolexes were definitely out of style for a minute. Breits were crushing em. They are back in style now because they fit perfectly on the dainty wrists of hipster swags.

yup.

like others have said ben baller even said it was quiet for em for a min and broads were rocking da men's versions.

that big face versions gave em a new lease on life.

I can't understand anyone saying rolex is dead. It's timeless, I recently got one for my 25th birthday very happy with it but it's a classic time piece. Are we strictly talking about the hip hop scene in this thread?

 

[bilboshmangins]

dead to tbe urban market, or dead to the market overall? there is a bigger world out there than iced jewelry guys...

rolex always been a classic

Yeah that's what I'm saying.. I guess these dudes are talking about the "Ben baller" "French Montana" crowd. I never heard of Rolex being dead it's fuc**** timeless.

Has to be the urban market because in the overall market Rolex can't be touched, certainly not by Breitling.

 

[ninjahood]

fellas, Rolex wasn't hitting like that in da 2000's years...Breitling had it on smash, rollies became old fashioned and stale

to alot of folks. they back now, and da big faced line had alot to do with it.

 

[dwalk31]

In terms of rolex hmmmm... The submariner line is great IMO. The all gold presidente is certainly a good look, but anyone who has ever seen/worn/tried on an all gold brietling will tell you that thing is certainly a monster and head turner. Def nothing to scoff at.

 

[freakydestroyer]

Is it just me or was Hublot da hot watch during da time between da " Breitling era" and now. I want to say 2008-2010.

Yeah that's what I'm saying.. I guess these dudes are talking about the "Ben baller" "French Montana" crowd. I never heard of Rolex being dead it's fuc**** timeless.

nothing exists outside of da heights

maybe in the urban/hip hop market, rolex's died out and ressurected once the tacky big faces came back, but realistically speaking, rolex will never die out. Maybe it's a miami thing, b/c everyone rocks rolex's out here. Go to the gym and you'll see mad heads rocking classic rolex's (ss date just, subs, etc). cops out here rock rolex's. cuban balseros who just got off the boat even got rolex's. so to say they died out, maybe outside of miami. Mind you a lot of people rock good imitations, but nonetheless, the style of having a rolex in Miami is far from dead. I went to a private school, and it's typical for someone to get one for their 16-18th birthday here in the fufi parts of miami.

 

[mr519]

Of all the big watches I have, the Jacob 47mm model fits the best as it is not as chunky and wears well on the wrist.....

 Jacobs will always be fire to me 

 

[mr519]

Of course rolex's will never "die" out ... But they weren't popping a few years ago within the urban market and OD breitlings were everywhere 

 

[gllahone84]

Son...

Took all the money...

 

[2for5purpletops]

 Jacobs will always be fire to me 

Couldn't Agree More

Rolex was dead among the urban market which consistently rock knock off's. To say Breitling was crushing is ******ed, in that era I probably saw less than 10 official ones among the hundreds.
