I know this has been discussed in the past, but perhaps we could just update this as a list of recommended reference books on Rolex watches.

What I am really looking for are some references that would discuss some of the older watches.

In an earlier thread by TempoKing he posted a photo of an incredible Pan AM GMT which I didn't even know existed. Are there any books that discuss watches like these?

I purchased the Daytona book that Tempo sold a while back and it is absolutely awesome!

Ideas greatly appreciated guys.

Richard here's a couple I enjoy
"The Best of Time .........Rolex Wristwatches" by James Dowling and Jeff Hess (who is a member here)

"The Rolex Report" John E. Brozek

"Vintage Rolex Sports Models" Martin Skeet & Nick Urul

There is quite a bit of duplication between them but each has unique features that make them interesting. Amazon carries all three.

I have the first two. James' book has much more history of the brand, where John's book has more info on reference #'s. Both are very helpful.
