Reggie Jackson "Mr. October"


...Rolex Super-Coolness...

Reggie Jackson

"Mr. October"

Legendary Baseball Player


Legendary Professional baseball player and civil rights leader, Reggie Jackson has been rocking Rolex for at least 5 decades and in the image above taken back in the later 1980s we see him sporting his yellow gold Daytona (Reference 6263). 

In the recent image we see below, Reggie is still rocking a Daytona. I would go so far as to argue Reggie Jackson is the living personification/manifestation of Rolex, in that he is bold, strong, successful, timeless and highly confident.


Paul Boutros from Phillip's Auction House was at the U.S. Open Golf Tournament back in June of 2019 and he snapped this super cool picture of baseball legend Reggie Jackson (Mr. October) rockin' his vintage Pepsi GMT-Master [Reference 1675].


Seeing Reggie at the U.S. Open reminded me of this vintage Rolex U.S. Open Golf ad from 1969, which should not be confused with the U.S. Tennis Open, which is underway in Flushing Meadows, New York as I write this article.



Below we see Reggie Jackson in 1976 as he puts on his New York Yankees Ballcap when he joined the sports franchise, and notice he is rocking a Rolex Presidential bracelet.


Reggie Jackson is a member of the 50 Years wearing a Rolex Club and has worn Rolex for 5 decades.


As a child, Reggie Jackson was one of my heroes and great role models.



Reggie Jackson is a renowned car collector and obviously a big Rolex collector as we see him sporting many different Rolex watches spanning over 4 decades. In the photos below we see Reggie wearing a white gold Rolex Submariner with a blue dial and bezel.


In the two photos below we see Reggie rockin both a white and yellow gold Rolex Daytona.




There is a great Reggie documentary on Prime and you can see the trailer below

This model marks the first time in history Rolex has offered a Daytona model make out of Platinum.
