Watch magazines???

[tszyu#1]

Everytime I go to one of these big magazine stores, not your average newsstand/bodega type places (the one near my house has no watch magazines, but they have some boxing mags from 2005)...lol..

Anyway, granted Rolex doesn't put out a new model every few months so no reason to have articles and stuff, but I dont mind paying the 8-14 dollars, if there's ONE article on Rolex.

I know these magazines focus on the higher end watches. I bought ....Watch Time? Watch Collector?? Only because the Deepsea was on the cover and they gave a full in depth review, and I'm not even a fan of subs, sea dwellers, etc.

I just want some reading material for the commute home. I buy every boxing magazine that's available, and it's interesting to read about Jaeger le Couture, and IWC, and all the others, but I'm looking for some nice Rolex reading material. The Rolex Report...that's a book and around 100 bucks or so? Every Barnes and Noble I've been to doesn't have any...anyone have one they'd be willing to sell?

Wait...I just checked on Ebay, looks like 35, 40 bucks?? Whats that big one thats around $125 I'm thinking of? Anyone know what I'm talking about?

You can get a copy of the Rolex Report on Ebay for around 35 dollars

Right now Revolution has a BIG article on vintage sport Rolexes. They highlight the fact that Rolex is one of the only brands that truly embodies 'value'

14 bucks, comes with a special Basel report. Worth it. Jason Statham on the cover.

That's exactly the stuff I'm looking for...Haven't seen it though, but anyone, what's that 100-125 book?

Yea, just saw that, think im gonna 'buy it now'

Thanks for that link LK. Anyone have both? Recommendations? The Rolex Report from what I'm reading is more of a guide? Some of the reviews on Amazon say it's more of a guide, like how to distinguish fakes? I think the Unauthorized History looks like a better read...thoughts?

Thanks, that's perfect for work! As far as the two books, which would you get? Or to those who have/read both, or even just one..the Rolex Report reviews say all the pics are black and white, and like I saidsome reviews make it seem like a reference guide..maybe just get both to make it easier

Try to go to a big Barnes and Noble store in your area.
