iPad First Impressions...


iPad First Impressions
...When Worlds Converge...

On iPad launch day which was this Saturday, I had a chance to check out the new iPad and I was very impressed, particularly for its future potential more as a consumption device than a creation device, which ironically makes it more like a TV than a computer...

In the not so distant future I will be doing a detailed review, but I thought I would share this image with you. One of the most interesting aspects of this image is seeing an old-world (29 years to be exact) Rolex magazine ad, meeting and being viewed on next generation Apple iPad technology...

Stefano Mazzariol White Dial Rolex Explorer [Reference 6610]


Stefano Mazzariol
1956 White Dial "Albino" Rolex Explorer
[Reference 6610]

This very early Rolex Explorer from 1956 is unusual in may respects, from the fact its dial is pad printed to the fact it is has what Stefano Mazzorial refers to as an "albino dial" since it was not only white, but so rare and unusual looking. Coming up pretty soon on Jake's Rolex World, we will be learning even more about the fascinating origins of the the Rolex Explorer.
