Description

The name Rolex is recognized around the world. It has become an icon of beauty, quality, accuracy, style, and taste. While there are other fine manufacturers of timepieces, none has reached this pinnacle of public respect and acclaim. The watches produced by Rolex over the last 100 years are celebrated in this lavishly illustrated classic, now in a revised and expanded third edition. Over 30 newly discovered wristwatches are included in this volume, along with new information and a revised value guide. In addition there are detailed looks at some of Rolex's legendary movements. Dowling and Hess, both acknowledged Rolex authorities, have captured the watches' beauty in color photography and present the most thorough and extensive history written of the company. The watches and the extensive information this book offeres to collectors make it a truly useful volume, one that will be cherished by watch lovers around the world. Read more

    • Best of Time Rolex Review - Watch out for Poor Amazon Packaging
This book is highly recommended for any Rolex enthusiasts. I would however caution anyone ordering this book new from Amazon. This expensive and heavy book was not completely wrapped in bubble wrap before it was boxed. Instead the unwrapped book was placed in a box with plastic air cushions on top. This left the sides and bottom of the book vulnerable. The book moved back and forth inside the box resulting in damaged to the dust jacket and spine. Additionally, since there was nothing between the book and the box, any ding or dent to the thin cardboard box resulted in book damage. Instead of purchasing a new book, I feel I paid a new book price for a used book. At minimum Amazon should provide a 20% refund considering the condition of this book when it arrived. Poor packaging caused the book to arrive in used condition. By now, one would expect Amazon should know how to properly package and deliver a book so it can arrive in good condition. ... show more

    • The Best of Time - Rolex
This is a splendid book! It is a massive work and I have only begun to study it. The illustrations are beautiful and the descriptions are thorough and very interesting. If you are intrigued by Rolex, you will spend many happy hours with this work.

    • Do not buy this book if you are an OysterQuartz fan
I love Rolex Watches. But I am OysterQuartz Super Fan and this book just cover 1 page about the OQ eventhough there is a very special picture of one in the FRONT COVER. So I am very very disappointed.
