Wrist Shot Of The Day: Dalip's Baby Grabbing for His Rolex LV

Wrist Shot Of The Day

Dalip's Baby Reaching for His Rolex LV

I always think it is really cute when people take photos of their kids with their Rolex and I imagine that is one of the things that makes Rolex special. You don't see people taking wrist shots with their kids while wearing a Timex or Patek–at least I haven't.

Roger's Albino Rail Grail Explorer

This is a very unusual early Rolex Explorer II with a white 24 hour hand. Of course the standard color for the 24 hour hand became orange.

Bisquitlips Mother-Of-Pearl Yacht-Master

[Reference 16623]

Bisquitlips is the funniest avatar name in the online community. Every time I see it, it makes me giggle :-))))) Speaking of Bisquitlips, if you have never seen his avatar up front, you've gotta click here to check it out!!! How beautiful is that Tahitian pink and green backtoned Mother-Of-Pearl dial!?!?!!!!

I also love how on yellow gold Rolex Yacht-Master dials, how Rolex uses gold paint for the writing and minute marks. One of the other details I love on the Yachtmaster is the Maxi-Markers and Fat-Hands. This watch really is some kind of wonderful!!!

Randy is a daily reader of Jake's Rolex Watch Blog and has been a great Pal. Most of you know Randy by his avatar handle, Steelinox which he is sporting on his Rolex Shirt by Leo.

I can't tell exactly but it appears Randy is sporting his LV Submariner with a customized black bezel insert. Merry Christmas Randy!!!!!

A Vintage Rolex From Beyer in Zürich, Switzerland...

A Vintage Rolex

From Beyer in Zürich, Switzerland

Beyer in Zürich, Switzerland is one oldest watch retailer in the world and they and they are about to celebrate their 250th Anniversary in 2010. This vintage Rolex Oyster appears to be from the late 1920's or early 1930's.

It's very interesting (T. Walker Lloydism) how this watch and the one in the post below it both have special Rolex AD reseller dial designations on them, yet one is from Switzerland and the other is from South America.

Tiger Woods Wife Elin Woods Prefers Rolex...

Rolex Hotness: Elin Woods

Tiger Woods Wife Prefers Rolex

Tiger Woods wife, Elin Nordegren-Woods was born in Stockholm, Sweden and she is pictured below wearing a Rolex Submariner.

I am not going to go into any detail about the challenges Tiger Woods is facing today. Tiger is an amazing golfer–perhaps the greatest that ever lived. It really kinda sucks to watch him fall so far so fast from grace.

The Tiger Tudor

Tiger Woods is pictured below with his father who was his trainer until he passed away. Tiger is pictured wearing his trademark Tiger Tudor made by Rolex. Tiger said his father Earl Woods was not only his best friend, but the best friend he could ever have in his life because they were so close.

Rolex signed a deal with Tiger Woods to make a Rolex Tudor Tiger model for years. I always thought Rolex was stupid for not making Tiger a Rolex Ambassador after his contract with Tudor expired. Boy was I wrong!!!! I'll bet Rolex is so happy that he is not a Rolex Ambassador today!!!!

Update: Tiger Wood's Time Is Up

As of December 18, 2009, Tag-Heuer dropped Tiger Woods from their United States advertising campaign. Tag-Heuer originally stood up for Tiger stating that his personal problems were not their business, but on December 18, Tag did an about face and dropped Tiger. This was after Accenture and Gillette pulled Tiger ads.

The Future Of Cycling from MIT: Green Transportation Technology...

The Future Of Cycling from MITThe Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change
I am really into cycling, both road and mountain biking, so I am absolutely fascinated with Cycling technology. MIT just introduced what appears to be a revolutionary hybrid bike that stores kinetic energy from braking and pedaling that you can use later. This stored energy makes it easy to climb steep hills or just cruise faster.
