These Are Some Of The Rarest & Most Precious Rolex Watches
This ia a good read...
"Rolex has always stood for quality, luxury and excellence. It is the standard when it comes to horological innovations. And it has a long history with Hollywood legends, and cultural and political icons. And of course it has an affinity with supreme sporting achievements. This began in 1928 when long distance swimmer Mercedes Gleitze attempted to swim across the English Channel for a second time wearing a then newly-launched Rolex Oyster watch, the first waterproof wristwatch.
