Is Blancpain better than Rolex?

1 Answer
Is Blancpain better than Rolex?
No, Blancpain is not better than Rolex. Blancpain traces its history back to 1735 and maintains its painstaking attention to detail, producing fewer than 30 watches per day, each crafted by a single watchmaker. Although Rolex produces more watches annually, it is revered for its precision timekeeping, impeccable craftsmanship and unflagging pursuit of innovation. When shopping for a watch, you should think about what you’re looking for in this type of accessory. You may wish to consider the power reserve, materials, accuracy, craftsmanship, where it was manufactured and more. If it’s your first watch, you may wish to consider whether or not you’d prefer a pre-owned model. Buying a new, never-worn watch enables you to build a history with it that isn’t shared by anyone else, but the greatest advantage to buying a pre-owned watch is that it opens up a wider range of models to consider, including rare ones that have been discontinued.
