Hi,
I wanted to learn some more about Rolex's and have been reading around on the forum.

So recently I saw 2 books I was interested in getting. They are a little costly but wanted to start my collection with getting one..

Do any member have either one or both? What do you think? Are they worth the investment?

Thanks for your advice!

Most you can learn here in the forum!

But these books are really nice, I voted for the second choice.

regards

can't really go wrong with either 'The Best of Time' or 'The Rolex Report' but, if like me you're a Submariner fan then it's got to be the 'The Submariner Story' by Mondani. all are pretty pricey but worth every penny & should you ever be in a situation whereby you have to sell you won't lose too much.

Do you ladies and gents have any other recommendations for a general reference book?

BTW for Daytona lovers - I thought at EUR 99, this was a bargin!
