Rolex Coolness: Danish Crown Prince Frederick Stainless Steel Rolex Submariner

Rolex Coolness: Danish Crown Prince Frederick
50th Anniversary LV Rolex Submariner

A few weeks ago we saw the second photo in this post of Danish Crown Prince Frederick and it appeared he was wearing a Rolex LV 50th Anniversary, but it was hard to see the color of the bezel which almost looked black.

Morten Olesen lives in Denmark and he is a daily reader of Jake's Rolex World and he just sent in this image from the Danish Newspaper named Ekstra Bladet and the image confirms it is an LV. Morten also said he knew that Prince Frederik received a Two-Tone Rolex Submariner with a black bezel an dial on his 18th birthday, so he might be a Rolay Collector :-)

The First Single Red Submariner: Reference 6538A


The First Single Red Submariner
Marcello's Ultra-Rare Big Crown Military Submariner
[Reference 6538A]

This is an ultra-rare (Milsub) Military Submariner, and to the best of my knowledge, it is the first Single-Red Rolex Submariner. Single-Red referring to the red depth rating located on the lower part of the dial. This watch also has the rare Big Winding Crown as well as the 3-6-9 Explorer dial, and the red upside-down pyramid at the top of the bezel insert.

Rolex Coolness: Jimmy Johnson


...Two-Time Superbowl and NCAA Winning Football Coach...

Rolex Coolness: Jimmy Johnson
From Cowboys Coach to Survivor Nicaragua
Yellow Gold Rolex President

I figured since we saw the Superbowl yesterday, it would make sense to take a look at Jimmy Johnson, who had an amazing career as college football player as well as being the Coach for the Dallas Cowboys, which he brought to victory in by winning back-to-back Superbowl titles in 1992 and 1993.
