For a little history,
Fathers Day was founded at the YMCA in Spokane, Washington, by Sonora Smart
Dodd. She proclaimed the nation’s first Father’s Day on July 19th, 1910, but it
was only 58 years later, in 1972, when President Woodrow Wilson made both
Mother’s and Fathers Day official American holydays. This special holyday is coming
soon and at Queen of Pawns, we would like to propose our customers to award the
best fathers of the year with our fantastic selection of affordable original Rolex
wristwatches.
Yes, Queen of Pawns is a well known address for those
looking for the “horlogical excellence” of one of the most powerful brands :
Rolex. Founded in 1905 in England by Hans Wilsdorf and his brother in law,
Alfred Davis, Rolex is the inventor of the first self-winding watch, powered by
an internal mechanism that uses the movement of the wearer’s arm, resulting in
more reliable time keeping. Rolex also participated in the development of the
original quartz watch movement, the first water proof wristwatch, the first wristwatch
with an automatically changing date on the dial, the first wristwatch to show
two time zones at once, the first watchmaker to bear chronometer certification
for a wristwatch … In a few words, Rolex revolutionized time.
The Rolex Daytona was inspired by racecar drivers and more
notably by iconic actor Paul Newman who reportedly wore his Daytona everyday.
The movement of the Daytona remains the highest VPH (vibration per hour)
mass-produced movement on the market at 36.000 VPH. The Rolex Sea Dweller series,
created to fulfill the needs of professional divers, became the first ultra
water resistant tool designed for conducting safe diving operations at 300
meters depths. Today, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Sea Dweller Deepsea Challenge
prototype defeats the depth rating of 12.000 meters. The Rolex Yacht Master is
a sport watch first introduced in 18 carat yellow gold, latter in two-tone
(stainless steel and 18 carat yellow gold), or in Stainless steel platinum
construction.
Even if
in the beginning Rolex watches were not in demand and were therefore relatively
inexpensive, Rolex inventions are today considered highly collectible masterpieces.
Rolex watches vary in price according to the model and the materials, but at
Queen of Pawns, even the most prestigious brand in the planet is made
affordable so that you can proudly treat your father with the greatest time precision.
Whether you are looking for the Air King, or the Oyster Perpetual, or the Paul
Newman Daytona, the Cellini models or the Submariner, all original Rolex
wristwatches, you should consider taking a look at the second-hand inventory we have available at highly competitive
prices. You will not regret you stopped by Queen of Pawns this year, dad for
sure deserves Rolex treatment.
