Rolex Books

It is my birthday in a few weeks and I'd like to ask my family
For some Rolex Books.

What are the top 3 books you recommend to someone as their first books on Rolex?

Thanks.

These two for vintage (Dowling and Hess is pretty much obligatory for the serious Rolex collector), then probably one of the Mondani books for something more model-focused.
