Wrist Shot of the Day: Puppy Chewing on LV Submariner...
Rolex Cuteness: Fox Red Lab
The chiwawa photo from earlier this week is really funny so I thought it was a good time to share this photo. Solar was puppysiting for his friends and he took this great photo of this gorgeous Fox Red Lab puppy who seemed to like his Rolex LV Submariner.

Update Details for
Carmel By The Sea Rolex GTG
August 7th, 5pm
Hi Everybody!!!
Sheldon Smith of Minus4Plus6.com and I have organized the second San Francisco Rolex GTG and this time it will be taking place in Carmel, California the week before the Pebble Beach Concourse d' Elegance on August 7th, 2009.
When: Friday, August 7th at 5pm.
Where: Carmel, California
Cost: $40 Per Person + Drinks.
All are welcome to attend and have a great time discussing watches as well as see some extremely rare Rolex watches. There is always great discussion and commentary as well as a great dinner. If you are not familiar with the term, GTG stands for Get Together.
Update:
This is Truly going to be an event of historic proportions. We will have on display, some of the rarest Rolex watches on earth including the actual Rolex DEEP-SEA SPECIAL that Jacques Piccard had attached to the outside of his Bathyscaphe Trieste when he set the absolute world depth record in 1960 when he traveled to the bottom of the Marianis Trench (35,800 Feet) in the Pacific Ocean. (This extremely rare watch and historic watch is rarely seen in public).
This event will also have four of the most coveted Rolex dive watches in history, including Jacques Verpeaux's JANUS IV COMEX SEA-DWELLER as well as the original SINGLE-RED SEA-LAB SEA-DWELLER and a Patent Pending 1665 Double Red.
Eric Ku, of 10PastTEN.com will emcee the event walking us through the various vintage models. After the viewing, we will go to dinner to share Rolex stories. (Kind of like Summer Camp with ghost stories, except Rolex stories for Rolex enthusiasts.)
We have a reserved private meeting room as well as a special menu, and everyone covers their own meals and drinks. Dinner should be appoximately $40/person.
The event is limited to 40 people, including spouses. To RSVP or learn more, please contact Sheldon Smith: sheldon@minus4plus6.com

World's Funniest Rolex Photo!!!
World's Funniest Rolex Photo
Richard, who goes by Bisquitlips on RolexForums.com took this photo of his dog wearing what appears to be a two-tone Rolex Yachtmaster as a necklace. I knew Richard uses this photo for his avatar on RolexForums.com but I didn't realize, until I saw it full size that his chiwawa dog is wearing a Rolex as a necklace.
People take some pretty creative photos with their Rolex watches, but I must admit this is definitely the funniest photo I have ever published on Jake's Rolex Watch Blog!!! Also, Biquitlips is a pretty funny name!!! Thanks for putting a smile on our faces Richard!!!

Timeless Classics
Tom from Belgium sent in this excellent photo of his Rolex Submariner in front of his Ray Ban Wayfarers.
Tom wrote "I have been reading your blog for a while now and it's great! This weekend, my soon-to-be wife, gave me a pre-wedding present: a Rolex Submariner 14060m. I simply love it! In my eyes it's the nicest of the modern sport Rolex watches. A while ago I saw a topic on Ray Ban Wayfarers on your blog, this inspired me to take this picture I would like to share with your readers."
