Early Rolex Coolness: Sir Malcolm Capmbell Early Rolex Oyster ad from June 18, 1930

Rolex Coolness: Sir Malcolm Campbell

Early Rolex Oyster ad from June 18, 1930

Since I was recently on the topic of cool convertibles, I thought it would make sense to post this great ad from David Boettcher. David Boettcher is a friend of mine and he very kindly sent in this superb Rolex ad from 1930 to share with you. I added this magnificent Sir Malcolm Campbell ad to The Sir Malcolm Campbell Story–The First Rolex At Daytona.

David Boettcher is a former nuclear scientist and he recently wrote an amazing article that is scheduled to appear in the December edition of The Watch And Clock Bulletin. David sent me an early version of his article that covers the origins of the early Rolex Oysters and it was mind-blowing!!!

David Boettcher also publishes the absolutely fascinating VintageWatchStraps.com.

Introducing the Coolest Car Ever Made: The 2011 Camaro Convertible

Introducing the Coolest Car Ever Made!!!!!!!!

The 2011 Camaro Convertible

Today Chevy showed off the first production photos of the upcoming 2011 Camaro Convertible. In my personal opinion, this is the coolest, best-looking, best-performing car ever made!!!!!!

Almost 30 years ago, when I was early 15, before I was old enough to drive, I fell in love with the stainless Rolex Submariner and the 1969 Chevy Camaro. When I was 16 I bought my first stainless steel Rolex Submariner, and I drove a 1969 Camaro. I was very unimpressed with the way the 1969 handled and that was the last time I ever wanted an American car.

The irony is that when I was in high-school I wanted to be an automotive designer, but I realized American cars were absolute cardboard junk, and I did not want to move to Germany, so I ended up designing clothes and computers.

So essentially, all my adult life, there was NEVER an American car I wanted to own. This struck me as being totally bizarre that I lived in a country that put a man on the Moon, and designs things like the Apple iPhone, but made half-baked cars.

Today, that all changed, and I am very excited to introduce you to the first American car I would be happy to own–The 2011 Camaro Convertible.

The V8 SS version should start around $40,000 and do 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds. In order to get this kind of performance out of a Mercedes SL you have to spend $200.000 for an SL AMG, and in my personal opinion, this looks way cooler!!!!!

The Camaro Convertible will make its debut at the Los Angeles Auto show in November and go on sale in February 2011. With the advent of the Chevy Camaro Convertible, I can proudly say, the American Muscle car is back with a vengeance!!!!!!! This car is ultra-cool and I can't wait to get one!!!!!!!
