1950s Rolex Moonphase v. LV Submariner

Last time I was down at Fourtane Jewelers in Carmel, California I had a chance try on a yellow gold Rolex Moonphase [Reference 6062] and I just happened to be wearing my LV Submariner on a JAKEe FATSTRAP.

It is fascinating to note the moonphase was made in the early 1950s–literally a half-century before the Submariner. I hope Rolex has the WISdom to bring back the ultra-timeless, triple-date moonphase–PLEASE!!!!!

...Blast From The Past...

The Beatles Before Ringo

This historic Keystone photos was taken in 1960 of the Beatles in Liverpool, England. We see George Harrison on the left, with John Lennon in the middle, and Paul McCartney on the right. As a matter of fact, this photo was taken in front of Paul McCartney's home in Liverpool. So where is Ringo? This photo was taken in 1960, two years before Ringo joined the Beatles!!!

In this next photo, we see all four Beatles playing together at an early concert being held in a Liverpool pub.

When we think of Rolex today we think of an ultra-conservative company, but it wasn't always that way, at least, not in the late 1960s. Groovy Baby Yeah!!!

Since I just put up a photo of Paul Newman, who was a Grand Am Series Racer, I thought it would be appropriate to share this recent Rolex Grand Am video with you. If you are a daily reader of Jake's Rolex World, you know I really like the all-new Chevy Camaro, and in this video from the 2011 Rolex Grand we see one get some serious air!!!

...Dude Looks Like A Lady... Rolex Coolness: Steven Tyler

...Dude Looks Like A Lady...

Rolex Coolness: Steven Tyler

Rockin' A Bejeweled Leopard Rolex Daytona

This is kind of funny. I am not clowning on Steven Tyler when I say "Dude Looks Like A Lady" which is a 1987 Aerosmith song title, but I will point out it is ironic, that it is very typical for women to wear men's Rolex watches, but here we seem to have a Dude wearing a woman's Rolex ;-) Steven Tyler is picture below sporting his trademark bejeweled yellow gold leopard Rolex Daytona.

The photo below is of the yellow gold Rolex Leopard Daytona, and yes it comes from Rolex exactly as you see it. As a matter of fact, that is a Rolex photo.

C'mon and sing it with me now, "Dude, looks like a lady!!!! Dude, Dude, Dude. Dude Looks like a lady." He was a lady...I'm not too sure what this song is about, but it sure is catchy ;-)

Update: It turns out that Steven Tyler ran into Vince Neil of Motley Crue and said "Damn, that dude looks like a lady."

It's funny, because when I look at Steven Tyler, he looks like a morph of Warren Beatty, Carly Simon and Mick Jagger, all mixed into one dude ;-)

Vanessa Bryant, who is Kobe Bryant's wife is picture below sporting a yellow gold Leopard Rolex Daytona. I think this watch looks sexy on the ladies, but few dudes can pull it, and I think it works with Steven Tyler. B.T.W., when I first saw Vanessa Bryant in this photo, I thought she looked like Kim Kardashian or one of her sisters.

4 Decades with Rolex Keeping The Time Of His Life

Larry Hagman has had an amazing career, and he has been wearing a Rolex Day-Date for the past five decades. In this recent photo below, we see him sporting his trademark yellow gold Day-Date on some kind of custom black and gold strap.

Larry Hagman became extremely famous for his role on the TV show I Dream Of Jennie, where he played Major Anthony "Tony" Nelson. I Dream Of Jennie debuted in 1965 and ran for five seasons through 1970. Season 1 was shot in black and white the next four seasons were shot in color.

Here is the first episode in black and white

When I was a small child I spent countless hours watching I Dream Of Jeanie, which was one of my favorite shows. What man in his right mind would not want a super ultra-hot blond jeannie following him around gladly calling him "Master!?!" while wearing that over-the-top sexy jeannie outfit!?!? In many ways, I Dream Of Jeannie was every man's fantasy come true.

Here is one of the most classic episodes from 1967 of "I Dream Of Jeannie:

Larry Hagman as J.R. Ewing on Dallas

CBS 1978-1991

Larry Hagman did not do that much after I Dream Of Jeannie, until 1978 when he played the role of J.R. Ewing on Dallas. One of the things that surprised everybody was how dramatically opposed his role as Major Nelson was to J.R. Ewing on Dallas.

Larry Hagman is pictured below with his fellow cast members from the hit TV show Dallas

Larry Hagman wore a yellow gold Rolex Day-Date on Dallas as seen in the two following screen-shots:

As I mentioned earlier, it is profound how juxtaposed and antithetical Larry Hagman's character of Anthony Nelson was on I Dream Of Jeannie, versus, playing, J.R. Ewing on Dallas. Larry Hagman really defeated being pigeonholed and typecast by Hollywood, and both of his roles were played brilliantly. Larry Hagman's achievements as an actor are profound, and he will forever be a part of the American TV psyche...
