James Cameron's DeepSea Challenge 3D
James Cameron's
DEEPSEA CHALLENGE 3D
The Review
Back on November 11, 2020 I published a story saying:
"I have some really exciting news to share with you! YouTube movies just released James Cameron's amazing DeepSea Challenge 3D documentary which you can watch below for free, which will blow your mind—especially if you are a Rolex fan."
I learned from some readers of Jake's Rolex World that unfortunately this movie is not available in all countries, but I know it is available in the United States.
I just finished watching (pun intended :-) James Cameron's DEEPSEA CHALLENGE 3D and thought I would write a brief review. Since many people don't work between Christmas and New Years, I thought it would be good to share this again as well as offer some interesting insight. If you are a Rolex-spotter you will have a field day watching this movie as there are Rolex diving models all over the place!
So I was grabbing Paul Allen's images from TwitterPick and publishing them in real time, so my readers could experience the event as if they were there live. We see Paul Allen's Octopus Yacht in the background as she stood by James Cameron's ship.
It Take a Licking & Keeps On Ticking
The next image is from the movie where James Cameron looks out the viewport of his submersible and points at the Rolex prototype "DEEPSEA CHALLENGE" and says "It's still ticking", even with 16,500 pounds of pressure per square inch."
Below we get a close-up view of the DEEPSEA CHALLENGE Prototype that is pictured above.

John Denver: The Kings of Country Music Wearing Rolex Series
John Denver had many other popular songs like "Annie's Song", "Leaving On A Jet Plane", and "Sunshine On My Shoulders." He was born Henry John Deutschendorf Jr.in Roswell, New Mexico on December 31, 1943.
In several of the images in this story we see photos of John Denver wearing a yellow gold Rolex GMT-Master, which I think suited him perfectly. It never ceases to amaze me how many guitarists wear Rolex watches.
John Denver was not only a recording and live performance superstar, but he was also an activist and humanitarian who dedicated much of his time and money to trying to take care of issues that effect earth. In my opinion, John Denver was the living embodiment and true symbol of Thanksgiving...
Aye, Calypso, I Sing To Your Spirit
John Denver was one of Jacques Cousteau's biggest fans. Not only did he write the fantastic song "Calypso" but he donated all the proceeds from the song to the Cousteau Society. John also performed concerts and donated the proceeds to the Cousteau Society.

The photo below of Jacques Cousteau was taken on-board the Calypso in 1953, an we see him wearing a prototype Rolex Submariner. Jacques Cousteau, in my opinion, is the greatest explorer that ever lived, and is the living embodiment of the Rolex Submariner.

John Denver is pictured below on-board the Calypso with Jacques Cousteau and they are talking with media mogul, Ted Turner. This photos was taken on the occasion of Jacques Cousteau's 75th birthday party in Washington D.C., which took place in 1985. In an ironic twist of fate, both John Denver and Jacques Cousteau both passed away twelve years later in 1997.
In the photo below we see John Denver (giving the thumbs-up!) diving on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Connie Reeder is pictured on the far left, and she sang with John Denver on "Fly Away", which can be viewed below this image.

Thomas Kinkade Painter Of Light
Making Spirits Bright
"Every painting is a journey." –Thomas Kinkade
I decided to publish this story today, as a way to get into the Christmas spirit, since Thomas Kinkade's paintings are some of the greatest Christmas themed paintings. Thomas Kinkade's Christmas paintings are extremely ideal and heartwarming, and capture the essence of this most wonderful time of the year.

A Special Merry Christmas Message from Jake
A Special Merry Christmas
Message from Jake
Hugh Austin is a reader of Jake's Rolex World from Ireland and he sent in this superb photo of his new stainless steel Rolex Daytona hanging on his Christmas Tree and said "Happy Christmas Jake."
Before becoming the first President of the United States, George Washington was a General, and at one of the lowest moments of the Revolutionary War felt like he was going through hell and said, "What should lead us to believe we will make it through this difficult time is that we have been through tougher challenges and made it through them."
Let's remember, Christmas is not about presents. It's about celebrating the joy and magic of being alive—which is perhaps the greatest gift of all. For all my readers I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and if you don't celebrate Christmas, then Happy Holidays!!!
If you want to hop in the Rolex Time Machine and travel back with me to yesteryear to explore Rolex Christmas ads, be sure to check out my Vintage Rolex Christmas Ads and Black Tie Guide.
