Rolex is one of the most aggressively enforced watch trademarks globally. The crown logo, brand name, and sub-brand names like Submariner and Daytona are all actively protected. Rolex has a dedicated anti-counterfeiting program.
What You Can Do
- ✓ Sell authentic pre-owned Rolex items with proof of authenticity
- ✓ Use "Rolex" in tags when selling genuine or compatible products
- ✓ Describe items as "compatible with" or "fits" Rolex products
- ✓ Provide repair, alteration, or cleaning services for authentic items
What You Cannot Do
- ✗ Use the Rolex name or logo on handmade or custom products without a license
- ✗ Create "inspired by" or "dupe" items that reference Rolex in titles or tags
- ✗ Use Rolex imagery, patterns, or trade dress in product photos or designs
- ✗ Claim or imply any affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement by Rolex
Safe Alternatives
- → Use generic descriptive terms (e.g., "luxury-style", "designer-inspired look") without naming the brand
- → Create original designs in a similar aesthetic without referencing Rolex
- → Focus on materials, techniques, and style descriptions rather than brand names
