"It is the story behind it, that bounds"

[blue.]

Having been attracted to Rolex not that long ago, I pretty fast realized how strong this brand lives from great stories. A watch brand that is continuously being strengthen by adventurers, influential individuals, personalities with character, celebrities.

Being a passioned Explorer 1016 fan I seem to need a bit of time to get warm with the Submariner and the GMT or let say tool style appearance. No doubt, I always had an eye on them, but would prefer the simplicity of the Explorer.

Each of us has different reasons of being attracted to a Rolex watch. One of my strongest personal reason is the application intent in mind, the sporty Rolexes have been created for. That reason is almost unimportant if there isn´t any great adventure or story, which proves the watch´s function and design.

Therefore as with many events in life "It is the story behind it, that bounds".

I recently discovered a nice article about the Rolex GMT-Master showing why and in what kind of age it came out, also who was wearing it at that time.
