anton Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 If you are passionate about Rolex's hisory and the evolution of their various watches, I recommend that you pick up this book: I picked it up today and I've just discovered a new love for Rolex that just didn't mean "snobby and materialistic" If there isn't already a Rolex bible, then this should be it. Although the book states that the most recent edition was published in 2006, I was surprised NOT to see the current Daytona or Yacht-Master mentioned anywhere in the book. At $125, the price may be a bit too steep, but the knowledge contained in the book is priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Kind of old news around here & still a good resource (currently in its 3rd Edition). If you are a vintage Daytona fan, you should have a copy of The Daytona Bible (for pre-1165xx models) Here is a link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arty909 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Those are good, and one is too. Just received as a gift... Has different views of crystals, pictures of original owner's manuals, different bracelets, movement reference numbers, and tons of other stuff. Ciao, Arty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 That first book makes me want a vintage Daytona even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 That first book makes me want a vintage Daytona even more. Do you mean 1 of these (Yes, the chrono seconds hand is missing in this photo) After I took my DRSD for a nice Sunday drive it seemed only fitting to swap over to the 6241 for all this Daytona talk. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
