60Th Anniversary Celebration
The March on Washington
"I HAVE A DREAM..."
Today marks the 60th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's March on Washington, which occurred on August 28, 1963, during which Dr. King delivered his ultra-iconic "I Have A Dream" Speech (which can be watched later in this story). For the past sixteen years on Jake's Rolex World, I have continuously updated my story every Martin Luther King day on Dr. King's amazing lifetime achievement and to the best of my knowledge it remains the single largest repository of his history.
On December 17, 1962, President Kennedy invited Dr. Martin Luther King back to the White House to discuss civil rights. In the photo below we see American civil right leader Roy Wilkins standing behind Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who is shaking hands with Adlai Stevenson who was the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, who is standing next to President Kennedy in the Oval Office.
JFK invited MLK and other civil rights leaders who participated in the March on Washington to meet with him in the Oval Office at the White House on August 28, 1963.
This political demonstration garnered more political coverage than any other in history. It was crystal-clear that JFK understood and supported the Civil Rights Movement.

Vintage 1972 Rolex Magazine Ad
I am so excited, after 15 years of continuous publication to be able to finally publish this awesome Gold brick Rolex Day-Date ad.
...Rolex Hotness...
Be The Girl From SMASH
Sideways GMT-Master
1966
Just when I thought I had seen it all, I can across this amazingly cool Rolex Magazine ad that is very salty and Austin Powersesque. Groovy Baby, YEAH!!! That being said, there is one really screwy Rolex related detail on the models GMT-Master and if you look closely, her dial and crystal have somehow been rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Hmmnnn!?!!
To be completely transparent, I am still trying to wrap me head around the whole "BE THE GIRL FROM SMASH (smart, mean, and sassy he-hunters :-): AND DARE TO GET YOUR MAN, with the dangerous shades of Angel Face. "he-hunters", those must be her pronouns...

Waikiki Beach
Our Captain Danny recently shared some photos with me of his new Orange Hand Rolex Explorer II with a black dial. This is the updated model with the MUCH better orange hand design (if you ask me) and Danny said:"Going to the beach in HNL with the Explorer II."
Then Danny said: "Great visibility under water, you can read the slightest details on the dial." Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Speaking of which, I have some fond memories of Honolulu, like the time I was hanging out in the Rolex store chatting with the Manager who pictured below. In case you were wondering, yes, that is a real Rolex Surfboard pictured next to him. Man I really have wished for many years that Rolex would create lines of product that would be available to the publish to purchase, like Rolex writing instruments—since it's such a cool brand.
I took the photos below of the Rolex Boutique located in Honolulu, Hawaii, and it is RAD!!!
