Rolex/watch Reference libraries

Guys

I know nothing can compete with the knowledge shared on TRF. However over the last few years I have started to put together a small reference library on wristwatches. hopefully some will assist me in my future watch buying in years to come. This christmas I goy my first AP (unfortnately the book not a watch ) which has taken prime location in my mini watch library.
If you have any books worth telling us about either owned or read in the past that you have found useful, post a reply and tell us about them. I am sure we have other members piecing together something similar at home. I have a pic below on my books acquired so far which cover Rolex, AP, Heuer, Omega and VC.

The Rolex Report - great reference book that I use the most.

The Best of Time Rolex Wristwatches - Considered to be the most comprehensive book about Rolex.

Any of the Mondani Books. My preference is for Total Rolex, Steel Rolex and The Tudor Anthology.

You have a very nice collection of books but i think you miss some very good ones..
I think you should complete your collection with ROLEX DAYTONA STORY, TOTAL ROLEX for example.
You are very welcome to contact me for more information

Nice reference library. I collect books and I'm always on the lookout for good books about Rolex.
