A Rolex is a very expensive watch made by one Swiss company. People talk about it as a status symbol: wearing one is a way of showing money, taste, or success, whether or not the speaker likes that idea. Because the real ones cost so much, some people sell fake Rolexes — watches made to look like this brand, but not made by the company, and sold as if they were. The name is a brand, so it takes a capital R, and a Rolex is this make, not any luxury watch. In everyday talk it can be stretched a little (he thinks he’s so Rolex), though actually that use is and a bit .

組成The name was made up from nothing in 1908 by Hans Wilsdorf, a German watchmaker, as a trade name. He later said he tried mixing the letters of the alphabet in every way he could, and none of the names felt right; one morning, on the upper deck of a horse-drawn bus along Cheapside in London, he said a genie whispered Rolex in his ear. It does not come from other English words.
