Rolex is one of the most well-known watchmaking brands and it is frequently referenced throughout pop culture. I don’t know anything about watches really, but if asked to name a watch brand, Rolex is the only answer I know.

The word Rolex isn’t used for anything outside of this, so it’s certainly a rough word to arrive at if you don’t know it, but a fairly easy one to guess if you have even a slight knowledge of watches. Because of this, I’m giving the ‘Pricey watchmaker with a crown logo’ clue a two out of five difficulty rating.
