Rolex Hotness: Lorena Ochoa-The Greatest Female Golfer Today

Rolex Hotness: Lorena Ochoa

The Greatest Female Golfer

Lorena Ochoa is arguably the best female golfer playing today. She has been ranked number one in the world for the last three years from 2007 to 2010. Lorena is from Mexico and she is the first Mexican golfer to ever be ranked number one in the world.

Lorena is pictured below in a recent Rolex magazine ad wearing a ladies 31 Datejust. She usually wears her two-tone ladies 29mm Yacht-Master as seen in the photo above and in the last two photos in this story.

In the next two photos, Lorena is pictured at The Rolex Awards Dinner. In the photo below Lorena is posing with her LPGA player of the year trophy.

The Rolex Awards Dinner and reception was held at Donald Trumps Mar-A-Lago and we see (from left to right) Rolex representative, Peter Nicholson, Donald Trump, Lorena Ochoa and LPGA commisssioner, Carloyn Bivens.

I love the domed crystal on the vintage Rolex SEA-DWELLER models. They look so sleek and almost like a UFO or Frisbee...

Big Bubbleback Rolex Datejust: Reference 6305

Big Bubbleback Rolex Datejust

Reference 6305

Martijn (Theflyingdutchman) is a fan of Jake's Rolex World and he sent in these stunning photos of his "Big Bubbleback" Rolex Datejust watches. These watches were made between 1955 and 1957 and they are highly sought after by collectors.

In Italy the Reference 6035 "Big Bubbleback" is commonly referred to by collectors as "Overttone," which means "Big Egg,"since it has such a thick bubbleback. I love how Rolex in the mid 1950s used to have a red date on the Datejust and Day-Date.

Updating Jake's Rolex World for iPad Viewing

Updating Jake's Rolex World

for iPad & iPhone Viewing

Hi Everybody,

As many of you know, I was extremely excited for the iPad to come out since I knew it would completely revolutionize the viewing experience and quality of Jake's Rolex World and actually make it into a world-class digital magazine that was also very good for the environment.

When the iPad first came out, the first thing I did was check out Jake's Rolex World and it was one of the biggest disappointments of my life!!! The iPad was amazing, but Jake's Rolex World looked terrible and kept crashing the iPad!!!

The challenge was that in trying to make Jake's Rolex World future-proof, I over-shot the mark quite a bit!!!

Unfortunately, I have had to completely redesign the html infrastructure and UI which is terribly time consuming and challenging and required a lot of math skills I typically don't use.

The great news is that doing so was a blessing in disguise and now Jake's Rolex World is looking better and loading faster than ever on the desktop, on laptops, as well as on the iPad and iPhone!!!

There are four phases to optimizing Jake's Rolex World and as I complete each phase, I will update it here:

• Phase 1: Figure out what was wrong and how to fix it!!! This was not easy and my brain is still hurting from all the math and experimenting with the User Interface. The challenge is that I did not want the new user interface to simply work on the iPad and iPhone, I wanted it to look and work perfectly. I also did not want to waste a single pixel. The biggest challenge was making certain it looked great on the desktop and on laptops as well as on the iPad and iPhone. (Status: Complete)
• Phase 2: Redesign and resize all page and UI elements to optimally fit on the iPad and iPhone screen. (Status: Complete) Having completed this means Jake's Rolex World is not viewable on an iPad and iPhone with the following exceptions:
• Phase 3: Redesign all story view shortcuts that appear on all pages on the sidebar (Status: Complete)
• Phase 4: Take all large stories and break them into multiple segments so the iPad and iPhone won't crash on them. (Status: In Progress)

I am completely committed to providing you (my readers) with the absolute best viewing and reading experience possible and now Jake's Rolex World looks amazing on the iPad and iPhone!!!

Warmest regards,

Jake
