Guillaume's Single Red Submariner


Guillaume's Single Red Submariner
[Reference 1680]

For some reason I can never seem to get enough of the Single Red Submariner models. This one is unusual because Guillaume put a crystal on it with no cyclops lets, which gives the watch a SEA-DWELLER vibe.

Rolex Coolness: Jean Claude Van Damme...


Rolex Coolness: Jean Claude Van Damme
One Of The Great Martial Artists
A Career With Rolex On His Wrist

Jean Claude Van Damme is one bad-ass dude and one of the greatest martial artists that ever lived–even been compared to Bruce Lee. If you don't believe me, click here.


Here is another great martial art scene that shows how great of a martial artist Jean-Claude is.



This is a fascinating 1991 interview with Arsenio Hall interviewing Jean-Claude Van Damme and Jean-Claude is wearing a yellow gold Rolex Daytona almost 20 years ago.






Bruce Lee
The Master

Since we are looking at martial arts we gotta check out Bruce Lee who started the whole thing. In his early career in the United States, Bruce Lee played Kato on the TV show, The Green Hornet.


Of course, Bruce Lee went on to make great action movies like Enter The Dragon and Game Of Death.


Turn the volume way up!!!!



This is a scene from the 1978 movie, Game Of Death which is one of the most famous Bruce Lee fight scenes where he fights with Kareem Abdul Jabbar who is one of the greatest basketball players in history:



This is a really fascinating full-lenght interview with Bruce Lee!!!!:


Bernhard's Porsche Design Shades


Bernhard's Vintage Rolex Meets Vintage Porsche
Form Meets Function & High Style

Bernhard took this great shot of his vintage Porsche Design shades which he has had since he was 16. Ironically, Porsche discontinued selling them many years ago, but just last week brought them back to market. They stopped making them when Yoko kept wearing them. Just kidding ;-))) Only about the Yoko part. Imagine..... ;-)))

Bernhard is a great Rolex photographer and he paired up his vintage Rolex Submariner 5513 with his vintage Porshe Design shade which make a great combination. You can always find Bernhard on his 100Percent-Rolex Blog by clicking here.



Porsche Hotness
1970 Porsche Tapiro by Guigaro

Since we are on topic of 1970s Porsche design I though I would share this photo with you of an ultra-rare Porsche prototype named the Delorean. Oops!?! Just kidding again!!! Actually, this Porsche design prototype named the Porsche Tapiro was designed by Guigaro. Now if you just had the Porsche Design Shades, The car and the girl, you would be stoked!!!

Special Discount Pricing On all-new 27 inch iMac Only $1655!!!


Special Holiday Discount Pricing
On all-new 27 inch iMac
Only $1655!!!

I recently wrote a super-detailed review of Apple's all-new 27inch iMac which is by far and away the best computer you can buy today. I have some great news if you want to save a lot of money on the all-new 27inch iMac.

You can get one delivered to your front door for only $1655 which includes free shipping and they don't charge sales tax. All you have to do to get this brilliant new machine for $1655n is click on the photo of the iMac below with the Ferrari on the screen.

How much of a real savings is this? If you go to an Apple store and buy this exact same machine by the time you get out the door, you will have spent around $1850 out the door, thus you save around $200 for the EXACT same thing.





Also as a holiday gift, you can watch the MacHeads Documentary below about the history of Apple. This movie is free to watch and pretty funny and fascinating.

Rolex Wrist Shot of the Day Winter Has Arrived


Rolex Wrist Shot of the Day
Winter Has Arrived
LV Rolex Submariner

Christiaan took this great winter wrist-shot of his 50th Anniversary LV Submariner. For some reason, Rolex watches always have seemed to impervious to the elements–like a small vault.

On a side note, I was recently having a conversation with Dion from Magrette Watches which is based in New Zealand and he pointed out the fact that it is currently summer in New Zealand. I mentioned how I recently was tripping on the fact that in the Southern Hemisphere is is currently summer and how it seemed bizarre that Christmas occurs in the middle of summer!?!

This of course is because I have only ever lived in the Northern Hemisphere, which just perhaps goes to show there is a flip-side to every coin ;-)))
