Rolex Bath fixtures?

[porsche4life]

Saw these in the old Hotel in staying in. The feel like Rolex quality. Any idea how old?

That's no Rolex quality counter and poor workmanship on that mirror and frame.

Dude.... It's a 100yr old hotel in BFE tonopah, nv!

I could have stayed at the shady lady between here and Beatty.

[Jim Bremner]

Stay, You're doing it wrong from what I hear!

[porsche4life]

Oh and what have you heard and from who?

Son, Some men use bondage to do things to their wife that they might not get away with.


I use bondage on mine so I can get some sleep.

100 years ago, bath faucet (hot water) did not look like that. That was done much later. did they even have hot water piped into a building then?

Quick Goigle search.

There is a company in India marketing bathroom fixtures with the Rolex name.
Maybe it's an old English company that existed in name only until take up by the Indian company?

Never seen any faucets etc labelled Rolex in England. More likely the Indian firm is taking a chance that the Swiss Rolex is too busy chasing watch fakers to notice their good name on bathroom fittings

I believe it's an old Italian company. Been making them for a while but no longer in existence?

The thread title got me. Unrelated useless info below...

My wife randomly bought a Kraus faucet off of Amazon last year. When I opened the box to install it I really felt like I was looking at a new Rolex. Im not kidding. It came in a beautiful presentation quality padded box with registration papers, hangtags, a polishing cloth, and everything else a new Datejust would have come with. The packaging alone probably cost more than a normal faucet. The polishing and the quality was amazing. I didn't want to touch it or get fingerprints on it. It was ridiculous.

More OT: I don't know where theyre made or much else, but a contractor recommended Hans Groehe fixtures. The precision and quality of the manufacturing reminds me of something from long ago, or perhaps aircraft quality. Sorry for the hijack.

I am a huge fan of Hans Grohe and have install lots of them. some of their quality has slipped a little, but their higher end product is still excellent. When costo starts to sell a shower head or two or Home Depot has them on display, then I know the day would come.
