Rolex

How much does it acutally cost Rolex to make a �50,000 watch?

[brachiopod]

Alot more than it costs the Coca-Cola Corporation to make 50,000 bottles of cola.

i'm not sure it does. i once read that after overheads, retailers cut etc. coke only makes about 0.5p profit on a 50p can of coke.

It doesn't sound a lot until you consider how much coke is actually sold.

As for rolex absolutely no idea i'm afraid!

Almost certainly nowhere near the �50,000 mark. What you pay for is 10% materials and workmanship. 90% is the "fee" to Rolex for providing you with an exclusive product. A �50k watch is not 1000 times better, or more expensive to make, than a �50 Argos one. It is just 1000 more unique.
