Try to find a copy of ‘The Best Of Time — Rolex Wristwatches: An Unauthorised History’ by James Dowling & Jeffrey Hess. It’s in print and available on Book Depository, but you might find a cheap used copy on eBay or something like that. Amazing book, with lots of great historical info and photos. Note well: it’s not about modern Rolex ‘Professional’ watches. But amazing for older stuff.

I also like ‘The Vintage Rolex Field Manual’ by Colin White. More affordable book with solid historical info (including a particularly cool section on Rolex worn by astronauts) and lots of great photos.
