On A Kangaroo NATO Strap

Marcus is a reader of Jake's Rolex World and he lives in Stockholm, Sweden. Marcus recently sent in this photo of his Green LV Submariner on a leather NATO strap and said:

Hi Jake!

Thanks for a great blog, read it every day!

Best Regards,

The Original 1945 Rolex Pre-Datejust...

The Original 1945 Rolex Pre-Datejust

The Design Ethos Of Every Modern Rolex

It is amazing how timeless the original Rolex Date from 1945 is!!! Notice it lacks the Datejust designation on the dial and has no cyclops-lens on the crystal. This model was an absolute game-changer in every way, and I believe this watch represents the absolute design ethos of every modern Rolex. This includes the modern Datejust, Day-Date, Submariner, GMT-Master, Daytona, Explorer, Air-King–you name it, it all began here.

This was the first watch in the world to ad a date-window complication and Rolex introduced the Jubilee Bracelet in 1945 on this model. The reason it is named the Jubilee Bracelet is because the 40th anniversary (in marriage parlance) is typically referred to as The Ruby Jubilee, just as the 25th is referred to as The Silver Anniversary and the 50 Anniversary is referred to as The Golden Anniversary. I also believe it was the first Rolex watch to to have solid end links.

Rolex Hotness: Kim Kardashian...

Keeping Up With 

The Kardashian's

It's a Rolex Family Affair

Back on October 14, 2007, Ryan Seacrest produced  a show named "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" which recently premiered in its 19th season. Kim Kardashian is obviously the lead alpha-female/heroin on the show which has chronicled the ups and downs of her life for two decades. One of the most interesting aspects of the show is how many of her family members are Rolex fans, and that's the reason I am finally putting together this fascinating story.

Kim Kardashian is pictured above with her husband Kanye West who has been a big Rolex fan for a long time (more on Kanye's Rolex passion later in this story :-) Let's start with taking a look at Kim Kardashian and her Rolex collection. This first photo shows Kim many years ago rocking a bejeweled stainless steel Rolex Datejust.

It didn't take Kim much time upgrade to wearing a bejeweled yellow gold Rolex Day-Date as seen below.

–Wearing My Rolex–

All I want to do is tell you I love you

That's when I start promising the world

To a brand new girl I don't even know yet

Next thing she's wearing my Rolex

Kim's Grandmother is pictured below also wearing a Rolex!!!
