Rolex Daytona Book

Hello

I hope you are all well.

I'm interested in buying a book about Daytonas and I'm wondering if anyone has it, or has seen it, and can offer any opinions on it?

The book is called Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Vol 2. Self Winding Models (From 1988) by Gregoire Rossier who I think wrote the Moonwatch Only books.

I'm looking for a factual book, like the Moonwatch Only, as opposed to a book full of Rolex adverts etc, perhaps like the recent Speedmaster book!

I look forward to hearing any comments about the book you may have.

Thanks very much.

I received the 2-book set as a gift, but as of yet only the manual wind book has been Received.

First book is terrific. Just what you are looking for.

That's the one.


It appears to be up to date with the photo of the latest SS model on the front.

The book "Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Vol 2" by Gregoire Rossier is highly regarded among collectors and enthusiasts. Much like "Moonwatch Only," it focuses on factual information and detailed insights about the Daytona models, particularly the self-winding ones from 1988 onwards. Many readers appreciate the thoroughness and depth of research, which makes it a valuable addition to any watch enthusiast's library. If you're looking for something that's not just filled with advertisements, this book should meet your expectations.
