I never owned a yellow Rolex Yacht-Master with this mother of pearl dial, with ruby indices, but I totally remember them. They were so cool looking and seeing this photo Deja Vu's me out really hard...
My good pal Sheldon Smith is the editor and publisher of Minus4Plus6.com and he just sent me a note to let me know he just put up a superb story that has all the pages from a 1985 Rolex Talking Points Brochure. A Rolex "Talking Points" brochure is published by Rolex and it is for the sales people to educate them about the Rolex brand. You can see all the pages from this fascinating 1985 Rolex Talking Points, but be pre-warned, you will have a hard time not clicking on each page and reading it carefully.
Sheldon, profoundly points out:
"Although this particular Talking Points brochure was printed in 1985, much of the details revealed are still relevant today."
DJ Khaled is a top DJ, Record Producer, Radio Personality, Record Label Executive, and Author.
DJ Khaled's most recent album, titled "Grateful" recently went Platinum and was the best selling album. As a result, DJ Khaled, rewarded his team members with some fresh new gold Rolex watches, or as DJ Khaled refers to them as a, "Rolly". Speaking of Rollies, this reminds me of Ayo & Teo's song, "Rolex", which says, "All I ever wanted was a Rolly." Be sure to hit the play button below in DJ Khaled's Instagram video to see him giving out Rolex watches to his dedicated team members.
Below is a DJ Khaled video with a bunch of famous rappers including Lil Wayne, Quavo, Chance the Rapper and Justin Bieber, and this video has almost hit 600 Million views on Youtube.
DJ Khaled loves giving gold Rolex watches as gifts, as we see in the photo below, as he is giving fellow rapper 'Future" a gold Rolex.
DJ Khaled is featured below on the Ellen show talking about his career achievements, and notice not only are they both wearing Rolex watches, and Ellen DeGeneres is wearing a beautiful Pepsi GMT-Master.
I began this weekend with the story on Jim Garrison's prosecution of the JFK Assassination, which, if you checked it out in detail, is a very heavy trip. In many ways JFK's assassination and the effect in had on the world is deeply profound, and puts most Greek tragedies to shame. As a historian, I believe it is important to learn and gain insight from the past. When JFK was assassinated, I was not even born yet, which makes it seem more like a movie to me. This is why, on a positive note, I decided to share this recent Elon Musk interview with you. I believe Elon Musk is the smartest man alive today, and perhaps the smartest man that has ever lived. If you agree with me, enjoy the amazing interview below. If you don't agree with me, enjoy the fascinating interview below, which offers amazing insight into the future of the world we share.
In the Governor of Nevada's introduction to his interview with Elon Musk he quotes Nicola Tesla who wrote in the introduction of his autobiography:
"The progressive development of man is vitally dependent on invention. It is the most important product of his creative brain. Its ultimate purpose is the complete mastery of mind over the material world, the harnessing of the forces of nature to human needs. This is the difficult task of the inventor who is often misunderstood and unrewarded. But he finds ample compensation in the pleasing exercises of his powers and in the knowledge of being one of that exceptionally privileged class without whom the race would have long ago perished in the bitter struggle against pitiless elements.” —Nicola Tesla [My Inventions]
Every generation has always thought the next generation coming after it, is going straight to hell—in a hand-basket, yet things seem to get worked out. I want to share this amazing quote with you from Stephen Marche, which I believe is perfectly on-point and beautifully points out the fundamental difference between the way different generations think:
"Progress doesn't saunter into the world; it staggers. Grown-ups don't often change their minds about the important political and social questions of their time. Change arrives because their children are born into a whole new set of assumptions different from those of their parents." –Stephen Marche
...Rolex Legal Eagle... Jim Garrison JFK Assassination Prosecutor
I have written extensively about The History Of The Rolex President in the past. It has been said that every Rolex Tells A Story, and that Rolex not only tells time, but it also tells history. There is a great deal of truth to this point, as you will learn in this story.
Jim Garrison was the New Orleans District Attorney when The President Of The United States, John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Jim Garrison is the only prosecutor in the United States who filed criminal charges in the assassination of President Kennedy. The photos below of Jim Garrison were taken on December 11, 1968, during a press conference in which he announced that the day after President Nixon would be sworn into office on January 21, 1969, he would begin the trail for the assassination conspiracy trial of Clay Shaw.
Oliver Stone's movie JFK was based upon Jim Garrison's prosecution of Clay Shaw, 55, a retired businessman who was first indicted by Garrison on the charge of conspiring to kill President Kennedy in early 1967. Notice Garrison is wearing his Datejust on a Jubilee bracelet in the photo above.
If you want to take the blue pill and believe that Oswald was a lone assassin and that Jim Garrison was completely wrong stop reading here, and believe the fake history. If you want the truth, and the real history, take the red pill and review all the historical facts. This first video features an interview with Jim Garrison by Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show. Only 6 minutes of video of this interview has ever been released, as VCR's did not exist in the late 1960s. Audio recorders did however exist, thus 100% of the audio exists in this video.
Below is a fascinating Jim Garrison interview from 1971 on The Steve Allen Show.
The following video is from radio interviews of Jim Garrison, and offers fascinating information in his own words.
The videos below are interviews of retired high ranking U.S. Military Air Force, Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty [1917-2001], who was the basis for the role of Mr. X, in the Oliver Stone JFK movie. In his 23 years [1941-1964] U.S. Military career Colonel Prouty worked in the Pentagon [1955-1963], as well as working closely with the Director of the CIA.
In the next video, we gain some interesting insight from Larry King.
Who Killed JFK 101
I believe the most important question to ask about the JFK assassination is not who killed him, but, why and how did they kill him and successfully cover it up?
The following video is a presentation given by Douglas P. Home, was hired as a Senior Analyst on for The Military Records Team investigator for The AARB (Assassination Records Review Board) in Washington DC for the three final years of the AARB's 4 years lifespan, which ran from August 1995 to September 1998.
This next video is an interview of U.S. President Lyndon Johnson's mistress, which offers fascinating insight into JFK's fascinating.
This next photo below is of U.S. President Lyndon Johnson, and he is seen wearing his Rolex "President". If you want to learn more, you can read my 11 part series titled, "The Complete History Of The Rolex President".
The Truth Is Out There
The photo below of Jim Garrison was taken on April 29, 1978, and shows him wearing a Rolex Day-Date, and if you look closely you can see him wearing the Rolex President bracelet. This is ironic in the sense that the man he was seeking to ultimately procecute was President Johnson, who not only wore the exact same watch, but was the person the Rolex "President" bracelet was named for.
Jose from Perezcope.com updated his AMAZING History Of The Rolex SEA-DWELLER (again ;-), and below you can explore his the latest version. Every time I speak with Jose, he tells me he thinks he is done with this magnificent poster, then a week or two later, he reaches out to me and let's me know he updated it again!?!! I have to admit, this poster is an absolute work of beautiful art and precision. Be sure to zoom in to see all the amazing information...
I was just checking out Rolex's Instagram page, and noticed this really cool animation that shows how the date wheel on the Rolex Datejust 41 changes within a fraction of a second.

History of The Open
In 2012, Rolex released an amazing four-part documentary that covered the incredible history of The Open, and you can watch all four parts below:
Historically Rolex has always been extremely secretive and discreet, and no journalists in the past have ever been invited "INSIDE ROLEX" to explore and report on all four Rolex Manufacturing faclities in Switzerland.
In November 2013, this changed when Rolex invited Jake to take an unprecdented journey into the heart of Rolex to learn and report on everything he witnessed and learned.
This Super-Detailed 3 Part Story is a "MUST READ" story for anybody who wants to understand what really makes Rolex tick.
