The glorious Stainless and Platinum Rolex Yachtmaster with the etched Platinum Bezel and matching Platinum dial. In my opinion the Rolex Yachtmaster has the best lines of any Rolex. Essentially the Yachtmaster is a curvy streamlined Submariner.
In the James Bond epic surrealistic satire from 1967, Peter Sellers comedian wears a stainless steel Rolex GMT Master.
Of course you have to wonder if Rolex go the idea for the graphics on the Jaws advertisement below from this image where Peter Sellers is viewing the stunningly gorgeous Ursula Andres on his stainless GMT Master. Of course Ursula Andres starred in the Original James Bond Move staring Sean Connery as bond in 1962.
Creating a blog dedicated to writing about Rolex Watches is really fun. I always thought it would be a great idea to create a wristwatch blog, especially one dedicated to blogging about Rolex watches. That is why I decided to create Jake's Rolex Watch Blog, but I must admit it is really fun to see beautiful women wearing Rolex Watches.
Talented Movie Star Benicio Del Toro wears the same model Rolex Submariner that Roger Moore wore as James Bond except Benicio wears his on a black leather band.
In 2004 Rolex introduced the 50th Anniversary Edition Submariner (Model Number: 16610 LV) . LV stands for "Lunette Verde." This is one of my favorite Rolex watches. It is different than the standard Rolex Submariner in three ways:
It has a metallic green bezel
It has Maxi Marker Indices
It has a fatter or wider minute hand
The LV sub has many nicknames which include the Kermit, the 7Up Sub and the Starbucks Sub. We will be spending a lot of time studying this beauty. I absolutely LOVE this photo of the 7UP Sub. I think it flawlessly captures the essence of the watch:
Rolex shows off all of its new models it plans to bring to market at the Basel Show every year in Switzerland and at Basel in March of 2008 Rolex unveiled the all new DEEP SEA SEA DWELLER which will replace the current SEA DWELLER.
This watch is highly anticipated by the marketplace and offers many new and innovative features. The Rolex DEEP SEA SEA DWELLER is huge at 43mm which seems to be the new direction Rolex is headed in with making larger watches.
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.
