1954 Dragon Cloisonné Dial from John Goldberger


1954 Rolex Dragon Cloisonné

John Goldberger, who wrote 100 Superlative Rolex Watches lives in Italy and he sent in photos of this very rare Rolex [Reference 6098]. He mentioned that it is very similar to the watch illustrated in his book on page 44, but in a bigger diameter, which makes it so rare.

The dial was manufactured by Cadra Stern Frères, and it is signed by Charles Poluzzi. John took the photos this last weekend in the Italian countryside and he pointed out that Spring Is Starting!!!

You can check out the review of his great book I did by clicking here.

Rolex Macro Shot of the Day: Eduardo's Daytona :


Eduardo's Daytona

Eduardo is a mining engineer from Chile in South America and he reads Jake's Rolex Watch Blog 7 days a week (according to Eduardo). I spoke with Eduardo yesterday and he shared a fascinating story about his wife Marcela. He mentioned he told Marcela he thought it would be a good idea if she would wear one of his men's sport model Rolex watches and at first she thought he was nuts.

She said she thought she should be wearing a much smaller watch, then Eduardo showed her many of the photos on Jake's Rolex Watch Blog of women wearing men's Rolex watches and won her over–now she is happily wearing a two-tone Rolex Submariner he bought for her.

Eduardo has been having a lot of fun lately photographing Rolex watches from his collection and he sent a bunch in share with you. Today's shots from Eduardo are of his two-tone Rolex Daytona. Great Shots Eduardo!!! Thanks for sharing!!! We will be seeing more from Eduardo in the future.


Scott Pelley: 60 Minutes Rolex Daytona...


Scott Pelley
A 60 MINUTES Rolex

I started watching 60 Minutes when I was 11 years old and it has been my favorite TV show ever since. Scott Pelley is one of the main reporters on 60 Minutes and he is pictured below wearing his trademark stainless steel Rolex Daytona with the black dial. Scott is a flawless gentleman and a superb reporter.



If you have not watched this fascinating 2 part 60 Minutes interview that Scott Pelley conducted with U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, I highly recommend watching:
