Rolex Coolness: Jimmy Johnson
From Cowboys Coach to Survivor Nicaragua
Yellow Gold Rolex President

I figured since we saw the Superbowl yesterday, it would make sense to take a look at Jimmy Johnson, who had an amazing career as college football player as well as being the Coach for the Dallas Cowboys, which he brought to victory in by winning back-to-back Superbowl titles in 1992 and 1993.

Last year I covered the 2010 Rolex 24 at Daytona, and here is a recap of the recent 2011 Rolex 24 at Daytona.

2011 SuperBowl Commercials


2011 Mercedes-Benz SuperBowl Commercial
Oh Lord, Won't You Buy Me A Mercedes Benz?

It's that time of the year again and it's almost time for the Superbowl!!! This 2011 Mercedes Superbowl commercial is amazing!!!! Especially, with Janis Joplin singing "Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz" in the background...

It is remarkable how similar Mercedes and Rolex are as brands if you think about it. I often say Rolex is the Mercedes of watches, and it is really cool in this video to see Mercedes playing up their amazing heritage. In recent years Rolex has gotten much more into playing up their heritage, and I believe Rolex should delve much deeper into showcasing their amazingly wealthy heritage as their ultimate marketing vehicle.




2011 Chevy Camaro Superbowl Commercial

This one is pretty entertaining and a good looking car...

Rolex Made Panerai Small Egiziano [Reference 6154]


Rolex Made Panerai Small Egiziano
[Reference 6154]

Rolex made every vintage Panerai from the very first one in the late 1930s up until the last one in the mid 1950s. The Small Egiziano is pictured below and it is the last model Panarai Rolex ever made in 1955 or 1966. Of course, the Small Egiziano is my favorite Paneari of all time as pictured below. This amazing photo of this amazing Paneria was taken by Martin Wilmsen who publishes The Panerai Wristwatch Blog which is superb!!! The patina on this watch is outrageously beautiful!!!

If you want to learn much, much more on the history of the Rolex made Panerai watches, you could check out the story I wrote named "Panerai & The Italian Navy–The First Professional Rolex Diving Watch."
