This image really stood out since the bezel is vertically split and we are so used to seeing it horizontally split.

Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself...


Please Allow Me To Introduce Myself
Studio Shot Of The Day

Hi Everybody !

My name is Randy Nopasri, and I have long been a reader of Jake's Rolex World. I have also been pals with Jake for a few years and over the last couple of years we have talked on the phone.

Jake invited me to join the editorial team on Jake's Rolex World and I am very excited to hopefully entertain and educate you on some fun things. This is my first post, and I hope that as I get used to blogging, I will improve.

For my first post, I want to share this amazing photo that Vince took of his vintage ROLEX Reference 5513. I currently have this on my desktop as wallpaper since I think it is such a great image and I thought I would share it with you.


Normally I would not post two versions of the same image, but I couldn't make up my mind for which one I like better.

Nice to introduce myself, and I look forward to sharing some great ROLEX information with you in the future.

Randy

Rolex Hotness: Lorena Ochoa-The Greatest Female Golfer Today


Rolex Hotness: Lorena Ochoa
The Greatest Female Golfer

Lorena Ochoa is arguably the best female golfer playing today. She has been ranked number one in the world for the last three years from 2007 to 2010. Lorena is from Mexico and she is the first Mexican golfer to ever be ranked number one in the world.


Lorena is pictured below in a recent Rolex magazine ad wearing a ladies 31 Datejust. She usually wears her two-tone ladies 29mm Yacht-Master as seen in the photo above and in the last two photos in this story.


In the next two photos, Lorena is pictured at The Rolex Awards Dinner. In the photo below Lorena is posing with her LPGA player of the year trophy.


The Rolex Awards Dinner and reception was held at Donald Trumps Mar-A-Lago and we see (from left to right) Rolex representative, Peter Nicholson, Donald Trump, Lorena Ochoa and LPGA commisssioner, Carloyn Bivens.

I love the domed crystal on the vintage Rolex SEA-DWELLER models. They look so sleek and almost like a UFO or Frisbee...

Big Bubbleback Rolex Datejust: Reference 6305


Big Bubbleback Rolex Datejust
Reference 6305

Martijn (Theflyingdutchman) is a fan of Jake's Rolex World and he sent in these stunning photos of his "Big Bubbleback" Rolex Datejust watches. These watches were made between 1955 and 1957 and they are highly sought after by collectors.


In Italy the Reference 6035 "Big Bubbleback" is commonly referred to by collectors as "Overttone," which means "Big Egg,"since it has such a thick bubbleback. I love how Rolex in the mid 1950s used to have a red date on the Datejust and Day-Date.
