Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

The Price of a Rolex, Would You Do It?

By Ronald C. Lundy

Rolex is one of the few brands to be world known. When many people think of the name Rolex they often time picture people of extreme wealth. Very few individuals will ever come into enough money to purchase a Rolex watch. But those who are wealthy might be in the market for one. When you think about it can you justify paying such large amounts of money for a single watch?

Rolex supplies the entire world with luxurious watches. It produces 14,000 high end watches a week and ships them to their Rolex stores that are found all around the world. The history of Rolex goes back about 100 years. In 1908 a watch maker named Hans Wilsdorf set up his shop in Geneva Switzerland, where he invented some of the more common staples of watches today. He revolutionized the time piece business by creating the water proof case as well as the worlds first self winding watch. The spirit of Wilsdorf is very much alive today with the way Rolex continues to design and produce watches.

Rolex watches are manufactured from materials with many beneficial qualities. One of these qualities is high durability. Each Rolex watch is very resistant to scratches and damage. Rolex even features models which can be utilized by deep sea divers and can withstand the amazing pressure of underwater exploration. While others can be worn by aviators and will function despite the enormous cabin pressure found in high altitude flights. All other watches will simply cease to function under such extreme conditions.

Rolex watches are very unique. As well as being durable the watches also depict the person wearing them as extremely wealthy. It is no secret that with such a high price tag, that the watches are also extremely fashionable. Not only will the wearer appear to be extremely wealthy but they will also be on the cutting edge of time piece fashion with a Rolex watch.

One of the most obvious reasons most people cannot afford a Rolex watch is due to the price tag. A single can cost as much as a lease on a house. Many people dream of coming into such large amounts of money. Those who can afford such a watch might consider purchasing something more substantial than just a small piece of jewelry.

Another unfortunate inconvenience to owning a Rolex is the vast cost of repairs. The Rolex is comprised of unique pieces and only a person trained specifically Rolex repair can fix a watch. For the price of repair you might as well buy a less expensive Rolex.

Just like any purchase one must weigh the advantages and disadvantages purchasing a Rolex watch might bring. But at such high prices it may be wiser to purchase a rather inexpensive replica watch.
