An exhaustive appraisal of the Rolex watch, including studies of vintage models, current designs and special editions Learn how to spot fakes using the same clues as the experts Invaluable to any watch-lover, especially aspiring Rolex collectors Horological trends flit by faster than ever in today's fast-paced society. But Rolex does not rely on gimmicks; theirs is a more perennial allure, with a reputation built on traditions and hard-earned skill. A company that innovates while paying homage to their roots, every Rolex is the cumulation of centuries of watchmaking expertise. Within this book you will find explanations of the making process, descriptions of the materials involved and expert commentary on what makes each Rolex wristwatch unique. The Book of Rolex demonstrates how each model fits its social milieu, present and past. It also addresses the multitude of fakes on the market, including the so-called 'Frankensteins' - watches made from a mixture of real parts and forgeries, which are notoriously hard to spot - imparting all the skills needed to pick counterfeits out of a line-up. A holistic view of Rolex watches, this book promises to be as timeless as the brand itself. Should you be considering a Rolex, this book will convince you of its worth as an investment. Review: Very nice book - There are a few things which I like about this book. First, the photos are great; it's almost a "coffee table" book in that manner. The variety of watches photographed in detail is impresseive. Second, the history of each Rolex model is provided. I found this informative and interesting, as I'm not actually a Rolex aficianado. Finally, the ancillary information is impressive. These would be topics such as Rolex's manfuacturing (most vertically integrated company I've ever heard of) as well as a short chapter on Tudor watches. Must have book prior to buying a Rolex, but also a good book for anyone interested in fine wristwatches. Review: Great Gift - Purchased for a Rolex fanatic - my husband’s boss! He thought this was the perfect coffee table accessory and loved flipping through the history of every Rolex ever made. Fantastic book.

Great History on the Rolex Watch
I bought this for my husband and it is a fabulous history on the Rolex watch and how it is made. And, how to take care of it. If you have a Rolex watch, or a history fan in your family, this would be a nice gift.

Fan Boy Table Book
If you are the type of person who enjoys a pleasant evening looking at pictures of Daytona watch dials, this is the book for you. This is a breezy Rolex fan boy picture book. The photos are beautiful and the writing is upbeat and fun. Now, if you are one of those "serious" collectors who obsess about the details of watch movements, this is not the book for you. You will find "The Book of Rolex" much too lighthearted for you. I am sure there is a technical manual for you somewhere.

Book of valuable information and high-resolution images
An excellent book on the history of Rolex watches and a reference for all those interested in Rolex watches. I did not expect a book of this quality, clarity in the pictures and the amount of information at such a small price for the book.
