...The Greatest Motorcycle Racer In The World...

Rolex Super Coolness

Valentino Rossi


9 Time Moto GP World Champion

A Brilliant Career Wearing Rolex

TEAM DUCATI

Italian born, Valentino 'The Doctor' Rossi was born in 1979 and is widely regarded as one of the greatest Motorcycle racers in the world and in history. Some say he is the best in history. Valentino used to race for Ducati, and then went back with Yahama before retiring. In the photos below we see Valentino on his Ducati Desmodicci RR.


Italian born, Valentino Rossi is widely regarded as the greatest Motorcycle racer in the world and in history, having won 9 Moto GP World Championships. In the image below we see Valentino smoking Marc Márquez @ Sepang back on October 25, 2015. This event was highly controversial, as Valentino Rossi claimed that he was just defending himself.


You tryna' flex on me!!?! Don't be silly!!!




Commenting on the Sepand event above Valentino Rossi said: 

"You know unfortunately I lost a lot of time with Marc and in turn 14, I tried to go wide to get a better line to make him slow because he just rides to cause me some problems. Unfortunately he came to me and I think he crashed in that moment. It’s a shame because I think that in a normal race we can stay and fight with Jorge and we lost some more points. Valencia will be more difficult."




In this next photos we see Valentino Rossi sporting his Supercase Ceramic Rolex Submariner back in the day.




Valentino Rossi is pictured below with some of his pals, including Fernando Alonso, the Spanish Formula One racing driver (far left, with facial hair), and Felippe Massa, who is also a world-class formula 1 racer is located between them.



Rolex Submariner Standard @ Ducati

Not only does Valentino Rossi wear a Rolex Submariner, but many of his Ducati team member wear Rolex Submariner watches, as seen in the next two photos.


In the photo above, we see Valentino Rossi applying his bulldog stickers to his Ducati and in this next shot we get a close up of his Supercase Submariner.


In this next shot we see Valentino Rossi preparing his Ducati and we see another Ducati team member sporting a Rolex Submariner. I think it is fair to say that Rolex Submariner watches about in the world of Ducati.


Next, let's go to the track to see the magic of Valentino Rossi. These images just completely blow my mind!!!!!










Valentino Rossi Interview

Motorcycle News interviewed Valentino Rossi recently, and if you look closely, Valentino is wearing a now vintage, Red hand Explorer II. It sounds so funny to say "Red Hand Explorer II" because I am so used to saying "Orange Hand Explorer II."


In the following screen grabs you can see Valentino Rossi's Red Hand Rolex Explorer II.

Profiles In Coolness: The Steve McQueen Submariner...

...Profiles In Coolness...


The King Of Cool
Celebrating Steve McQueen's 85th Birthday
An Amazing Life with a Rolex Submariner Keeping His Time

Maybe it's true that the good die young? If Steve McQueen were alive today, he would be just a few weeks away from celebrating his 85th birthday.  Let's take a look at The King Of Cool and learn more about what made him tick.



This article is broken up into two sections. The first section explores photos of Steve McQueen wearing his trademark stainless steel Rolex Submariner [Reference 5512], and the second section explores his iconic and timeless style.




"I Live for myself and I answer to nobody." –Steve McQueen

Let's face reality for a moment. Steve McQueen is probably the coolest gut that ever lived!!!

One of Steve's girlfriends, Ali MacGraw once said of Steve McQueen:

"I remember seeing him across the swimming pool and my knees were knocking. He radiated such macho energy!!! Men wanted to be like him. Uptight society ladies and biker molls wanted to be with him."



The photo below was taken from the famous Steve Mcqueen movie named Bullitt. It was taken on the streets of San Francisco where he was rockin' an Army Green Ford Mustang Fastback muscle car which is pretty tight!!!



The Hunter

Steve McQueen is pictured below wearing a stainless steel Rolex Submariner and this image is from his movie titled "The Hunter." It also appears that there are only two lines of text on the bottom of the watch where the watch has the Submariner designation as well as the depth rating. This would mean he is likely wearing a Rolex Submariner Reference 5513, as apposed to his Rolex Submariner Reference 5512 he also wore earlier in his career. Of course, this could be an optical illusion, but from what I have learned over the years, he owned multiple Rolex Submariner models, and would frequently give them to friends as gifts.
