A Beautiful Rolex GMT Pepsi From Dubai

James Dowling took this amazing wrist shot of a Pepsi Rolex GMT Master [Reference 1675] from Dubai which has really cool Arabic writing on the dial. James Dowling is the co-author of "The Best Of Time–Rolex Wristwatches" which you can check out my review and podcast on by clicking here.

BaselWorld 2009...


Baselworld Begins This Week...


Baselworld is the largest and most significant watch show in the world and Rolex introduces its new models every year at Baselworld in Basel, Switzerland.

So what new models are we going to see later this week? Nobody knows except for Rolex. Rolex is just like Apple with the secrecy thing.

My best guess is that we will be seeing a Datejust 2 around 40mm, which should be a great addition.

I hope Rolex introduces the all-new Supercase Submariner in all Stainless Steel but I realize they might hold off another year, but hopefully we will see the new two-tone Supercase Submariner. Rolex introduced the first Submariner at Baselworld back in 1954.

Of course, Jake's Rolex Watch Blog will be keeping you up to date as new Rolex model information becomes available. It should be fun...
