I'd say my 4 top Rolex books are...

1. By Hess and Dowling The best of time in English
2. By Kesaharu Imai's Rolex 2.421 & 3.621 Uhren (watches) in German
3. By Pergola, Mazzariol & Dosso ..Rolex Daytona-A legend is born..(rare) Italian and English
4. By Skeet & Urul Vintage Rolex sports Models in English

I can help with the "a legend is born" as it is very rare and out of print
a must have for all Daytona manual-wind lovers, price 200 dollars.

I have been learning & trading with Rolex watches for over 40 years...
I have one of the largest Rolex watch collections in the planet
and yet....I know one thing...That I know nothing about Rolex.!! <------ (well Almost)
So I educate myself "perpetually"

I am not kidding, I have more than 10.000 dollars worth of Rolex books.

So my suggestion to all of you new into the Rolex watch buying/collecting
is to educate yourselfs by buying some trully magnificent books about Rolex


Thats all, have a nice day...
Ok Anastasios, I had been thinking about it for awhile but your post inspired me. I just ordered my first book.
