Rolex Hotness: Princess Caroline Stainless Steel Rolex Daytona


Rolex Hotness: Princess Caroline
Stainless Steel Rolex Daytona

Princess Caroline's formal title is Caroline, Princess of Hanover, Hereditary Princess Of Monaco. She was born on the 23rd of January, in 1957 to her famous American movie star mother, Grace Kelly, and her father Prince Rainier of Monaco. Princess Caroline is pictured below wearing her stainless steel Rolex.


Princess Caroline's daughter Charlotte Casiraghi is pictured below in a recent photo. Just to be clear, Charlotte's maternal grandmother was Grace Kelly.


Princess Caroline is pictured below with her second husband who is Charlotte's father and his name was Stefano Casiraghi. Notice Stefano is wearing a Rolex Submariner. It is also remarkable how much Charlotte (above) looks like her mother when she was younger (below).


Stefano Casiraghi and Princess Caroline were married on December 1983. Stefano was really into speedboat racing and he passed away in an offshore powerboat racing accident just of the coast of Monaco on October 3, 1990, as he was depending his world title in offshore speedboat racing.

Ironically, Stefano was planning to retire, because in his last race, just a few weeks later he almost was killed. Notice he is wearing the same Rolex Submariner he is wearing in the photo above. I always think it is cool when you see a guy who wears a Rolex sports watch with a suit and with sporty clothing.


Princess Grace is pictured below with her mother Grace Kelly, in 1978, in New Jersey, in the United States.

Beside being a very talented actress, Princess Grace is renowned for being one of the most beautiful woman that ever lived as you can see in the photos below.

Rolex Hotness:Leryn Franco Olympic Athlete & Model


...It's A Man's World...

Rolex Hotness: Leryn Franco
Olympic Athlete & Model
DEEPSEA SEA-DWELLER

Frédéric from Belgium is a big fan and daily reader of Jake's Rolex World. He sent in the photo of Leryn Franco and said:

"A Beautiful Watch On A Beautiful Woman"

I titled this post by saying "It's a Man's World" because, starting with Honor Blackman playing the role of Pussy Galore, beside Sean Connery in Goldfinger, the ladies have been wearing men's Rolex watches, and just a couple of years after Rolex steps up the men's Rolex watches in size, the ladies are wearing the big Rolex watches, as we see Leryn Franco doing in this photo.

Get the double entendre? It's a Man's world (with the ladies wearing men's watches ;-) Look at how big that Rolex DEEPSEA SEA-DWELER looks on Leryn? She's pulling it off pretty good though!?!





Rolex Hotness: Pussy Galore
The First Woman To Wear A Man's Rolex
James Bond Goldfinger Star

As I mentioned earlier in this post, Honor Blackman played Pussy Galore in the early James Bond Thriller, Goldfinger, and as such, she was the first woman to sport a man's Sport Rolex watch. Today, many more women wear men's sport Rolex watches than not, which is just fine by me ;-)



James Brown & Luciano Pavarotti
It's A Man's World

This video featuring our dearly departed James Brown and Luciano Pavarotti, is hauntingly magnificent...

More Rolex Milgauss Love!!!


More Rolex Milgauss Love!!!

A few weeks ago, Tommy from Italy wrote in and said:

Dear Jake,


I’m an Italian fan of your blog and I visit it every day.


I’m worried about my GV Milgauss. When I bought it, I was very happy, but today I see (maybe I’m wrong) that the Milgauss doesn’t receive any words from you and from the specialized reviews.


Milgauss is dying «again»?


This is my question to your blog…


Bye!


Tommy


Today, I received the following email with the photo below attached from Anders who said:

Hi Jake,

I'm from Denmark, but I live in London today, and I just love your blog and the fascinating stories you publish!

Recently, a fellow reader of Jake's Rolex World, Tommy, dropped you a note saying he was worried about the lack of attention the Rolex Milgauss gets.

Here in London you see them every day! It's only 9am and I've already seen two!

Anyway, I've attached a shot of my GV for the GV Picture thread.

Keep up the great work my friend!

Best,
Anders

Alright Tommy and Anders, I just updated the GV Picture Thread by adding a bunch of Daniel Craig (James Bond) photos of him wearing his GV Milgauss!!!
