100 Years of Rolex - iPhone App

Yes, there's an app for that! I just discovered it while browsing the app store and it's $11.99, fairly cheap compared to the physical book in my opinion. I haven't bought it yet but there were only 7 reviews so it seems like it's pretty new. Also found this blog post on it.

yep, i've had it for a few months. it is a lot of fun. not entirely complete, but surely it has enough models to keep one busy for a very, very long time. the different means of browsing the collection is nice. and the images are good. i wish it had more than merely listing appraisals based on cosmetic condition. other stats would be nice.

I've had it for a few weeks - it is good but in need of some updates in relation to models, pricing etc

Overall it's nice to have at your fingertips as a reference :)

I just downloaded it from The App Store and find that it's a real nice app with lots of useful information and images. I really like the Valuation part where the discontinued Rolexes are given prices.

Would prefer access to a more robust website formatted for iPhone.

I look at this app on the bus and in the airport from time to time.

Semi-amusing

Thanks for sharing! Considered getting the book, but this is perfect. Now can take a look whilst on long train journeys or flying.

I like the App but as mentioned by others it is neither dynamic or current. I do enjoy the photos.

Just got this app and I have to say it’s amazing, especially when you consider the price of the book.

I like it just for the photos and at $11.99 you can't beat it. I've had it a couple months.

The App is awesome. Pictures are great. Only gripe I have is I now see many more Rolex's I want to add to my growing collection.

It's a good app in that it translates well from the book version (pics are great), just wished they made it a bit more interactive with news, reviews etc... to provide more value.
