So the question is, is there such a thing as cheap Rolex watches?  Well I guess that depends on what your perception of cheap is. To most of us even the most inexpensive of these watches is not cheap. However, there are those who think that spending a couple thousand dollars for a Rolex is cheap. Let’s see what actually constitutes as cheap in this situation. One of these watches new can cost as much as $ 20,000 or more. So if you’re a person of means spending $ 2000 or $ 3000 on one could be considered cheap.

 

If you’re a person looking to get an inexpensive Rolex watch you have to be wondering where you can get it?  Authorize dealers of these watches are not allowed to sell them at a discount they must sell them at full price. Buying one that was previously owned is one way to get them inexpensively. Second hand Rolex watches can be sold by their owners at any price they choose. You can also get them discounted online at auction sites like eBay.  However you must be careful when buying them online or any other place for that matter other than an authorized dealer or you could wind up with a fake or replica.

 

The popularity of these watches has made them the target of many fakes and replicas.  Counterfeit Rolex watches are produced mainly in Asian countries like India and China.  The counterfeits consist of low-end watches and high-end watches. On the low-end, counterfeits have poor quality and poor design, but they come with a very low price. On the high end, the counterfeits resemble the genuine watches and come with a high price tag. They generally have good quality and good materials so it’s harder to tell them from the genuine item.

 

There are ways to tell if your watch is the real deal or not. One way is to remove the band. Between the lugs at the twelve position there is a registration design number, at the six position there should be a serial number. Another way to tell a counterfeit is to observe the secondhand.  The secondhand on these watches glides around the dial, it should not have a noticeable click. You can also take your watch to an authorized repair shop or qualified watchmaker that specializes in them.  Keep in mind that cheap Rolex watches are not necessarily counterfeits.  There are trusted places that you can buy them at a discount.

 

So where are these places?  Well as mentioned earlier eBay is one.  EBay takes every precaution to assure that their buyers are protected against fraud. You also get extra protection when you pay for your item through PayPal.  You can also check the seller feedback and comments to get a feel of how honest the seller is.

 

Another highly trusted place to buy discounted or pre-owned Rolex watches is Amazon.  Amazon is a well-respected business that has been around for a long time and has a good reputation.  You’re also protected with them through their money back guarantee.  If for any reason you wish to return an item, you can get a full refund and no questions asked.  So if you find that the watch you bought is a fake you can return it.

 

As you can see there are places to buy cheap Rolex watches and not have to worry about the watch you bought being counterfeit. A Rolex tells the world that you have class and style it doesn’t matter if you pay full price or a cheaper price.

Well, there I was after 145 miles, and I had completely “bonked” – the cyclists term when you can’t peddle another stroke, it’s like hitting the wall for a marathon runner. In marathoning it generally comes after the 17 mile and for the super trained runner about the 20-mile marker or so. Anyway there I was with 60-miles to go to get to the next city. A long-distance cyclist’s worst nightmare, perhaps besides getting clipped by a truck and ending up in a ditch alongside the road with a broken collar bone that is.

What kept me going that day, while I rode against the wind was simple, I pulled off under a tree and broke out some protein power bars, and rested, I was too sore to get back onto the bike, and I felt as if I was dead, my motivation drained, I was peddling on guts, nothing else for the previous twenty to thirty miles – it was just a blur. Unfortunately, I was so tired I forgot to eat, and I’d burned up all the calories from the stellar pasta dinner the night before. After I recouped and those power protein bars hit my system, I was able to continue my ride.

Why the story? Well, because it was one of those days that challenges the will, and strength of character of even the most dedicated of men, and on that day it was me, and there I was. Now then, the other day someone was discussing this issue of protein power bars with me, and we got to discussing the reality of their nutritional value. Okay so, here is my comment; they are not all created equally, some have lots of sugar, which is probably not a good idea for an endurance style athlete.

And really I am not so sure such a high-sugary power protein type bar is really what one needs to get through the day or to supplement their diet. Do snacks such as protein bars really provide a powerful punch? They can, but it depends more on who makes it, and what’s in it. I guarantee the power protein bars that the top cyclists in the world eat, are much different than what I had in my little pouch on that day, even though it was a quality product.

My advice to you is simple, and here it is; look at the ingredients and only consume the best protein bars, as there is a world of difference. Indeed, I hope you will consider my warnings and real world experience in this regard. Please make a note on it, and think on this.
