I have one and for a book of this quality I think the price is OK. Mind you I bought it from Barnes and Noble, had it shipped to Saudi and it was still cheaper than buying in the UK.

I used to own this one. It was very well done and quite informative!! The guy selling that one is one of our regulars and he is as good as they come.

Even though it will be updated it is a must have Rolex book IMHO. I bought mine from Amazon.com
'Vintage Sprots Models' is another good one. =) maverick

Yep. It's just like a Rolex itself: Expensive and somewhat quirky, but worth every cent.

Hi, it's a great book and as others have pointed out, I have a copy for sale. US$100 plus shipping takes it. It's otherwise going for $125 plus and is in brand new condition.
