What are your top 3 rolex books Anastasios?

[QUOTE=TempoKing;2154626]You can start with "the best of times-Rolex wristwatches"
by James Dowling and Jeff Hess, that will give you an idea
how Rolex got into the "Oyster" business..

Then you can specialize with books about the Rolex models
you fancy ie. GMT, Daytona, Submariner, Explorer etc.[/QUO

I will be on the lookout for these books. Great point Anastasios.

I have been learning & trading with Rolex watches for over 40 years...
I have one of the largest Rolex watch collections in the planet
and yet....I know one thing...That I know nothing about Rolex.!! <------ (well Almost)
So I educate myself "perpetually"

I am not kidding, I have more than 10.000 dollars worth of Rolex books.

So my suggestion to all of you new into the Rolex watch buying/collecting
is to educate yourselfs by buying some trully magnificent books about Rolex

Thats all, have a nice day...

Ok Anastasios, I had been thinking about it for awhile but your post inspired me. I just ordered my first book.

I'd say my 4 top Rolex books are...

1. By Hess and Dowling The best of time in English
2. By Kesaharu Imai's Rolex 2.421 & 3.621 Uhren (watches) in German
3. By Pergola, Mazzariol & Dosso ..Rolex Daytona-A legend is born..(rare) Italian and English
4. By Skeet & Urul Vintage Rolex sports Models in English

I can help with the "a legend is born" as it is very rare and out of print
a must have for all Daytona manual-wind lovers, price 200 dollars.
