Rolex Submariner Story
Just received my new Rolex Submariner Story! Amazing the quality of this book. Also it is the largest book I have ever owned. I cannot even stand her up straight on my book shelf. Beautiful, incredibly detailed book.

Congrats, when I win the lottery I'll buy all of Mondani's books, but for now I can only drool and envy you.

Funny that it doesn't have an actual Sub as the cover watch, but that's neither here nor there. How many pages is it?

262 pages of glorious Kodachrome color, scratch that I mean digital. Living in the dark ages! Hahahaha! Beautiful book! If you have a chance order one or two from Giorgia. She is awesome? The book must be at least 8 lbs and equal to a 11"x17" piece of paper. But very rich and heavy weight paper.
Aloha all! Tom |

I just ordered mine, brand new. Waiting to receive it within 5 days.
Here is the edition company website : http://www.collectingwatches.com/en/ I wish i could afford the Daytona History, but I'm hunting for a vintage sub or sea dweller actually. Hope you'll find what you want |

Price is high because limited edition, usually a lot less than 1000 exemplars.

This book is worth it. Far better than The Rolex Story, by another author, which was a reprint of an older book. Mondani's books are the best, and accurately represented.

I saw the price, I might have to wait for the paperback version to come out and then wait for the paperback version to go on sale.
