HISTORY IS WRITTEN BY THOSE WHO REALIZE THERE'S NEVER A RIGHT WAY

ONLY A BETTER WAY

There are people who achieve greatness by breaking the mold rather than trying to fit it.

These are the people who stand apart by doing thins their own way. And doing them better than they've ever been done before. 

It is for these individuals that we created the Rolex Oyster Perpetual.

Literally carved from an ingot of metal, the thinking and design is as brilliant and unconventional today as it was years ago in 1927.

And While it often takes an entire ear to create a Rolex, the result is a watch as unique as the men and women who choose to wear it.

Rolex Hotness: Jennifer Aniston Sporting Her Yellow Gold Rolex Day-Date...

Jennifer Aniston is wearing her Yellow Gold Rolex Day-Date in this photo.

She is currently dating John Mayer who is a big Rolex collector. Jennifer Aniston has worn Rolex watches for many years.

Jennifer Aniston is best known for her role on the mega-hit TV show Friends.

I really like this look where she dressed super casual with a dressy Day-date. I think it looks really cool.

Vanilla Pepsi, and Vanilla Espresso meet Vanilla Coke...

PAN AM

Vanilla Pepsi & Vanilla Coke

The first two Rolex GMT Masters with white dial are 100% authentic factory Rolex watches. Rolex originally developed the GMT for Pan American World Airways in the late 1950s for their pilots to wear. The watch for their pilots had a black dial and it is believed that they ordered less than 100 with the white dial for their executives so they could be easily differentiated.

The white dial GMTs are extremely rare and are probably worth a $100.000 each. But the story does not stop there...

Original 1958 Reference 6542 Vanilla Pepsi & Coke GMT's

I ran a story a month ago about how PCS from Germany took standard GMTII Masters and put white Rolex Explorer II dials and hands on them to make them look very similar to the original Vanilla Pepsi and Vanilla Espresso.

Vanilla Espresso GMT

Pictured above is PCS's stunning custom Vanilla Espresso GMT. Understand that you can not buy this watch from Rolex this way.

Vanilla Coke GMT

Well it turns out that Knut from the R-L-X.de forum also has a custom Vanilla Pepsi, and Vanilla Espresso, but he went a step further and also created a Vanilla Coke pictured above.

Beautiful Watches!!!

The Blue Stainless Steel Rolex Submariner...

I am a designer and a lifelong Rolex enthusiast/fanatic. For the last 25 years I kept looking at Rolex watches thinking to myself, why not do it in this color or that?

I am an advanced graphic artist (incase you didn't notice) and about 5 years ago, I first started playing in Photoshop and Illustrator with changing colors and details on watches. I always thought the stainless steel Rolex Submariner would look really cool with a blue bezel so I mocked up one as you can see in the second image of the LV Sub with a blue dial.

It turns out that many of the ideas for colors that I have come up with, Rolex actually made at one time or another. I just found this blue dial with matching blue bezel, Stainless Rolex Submariner and it looks so cool. I call these blue bezel watches "The Blueberry."

It is amazing how many rare and unusual Rolex watches exist in the world that I never new about!!!

This model also has nipple indices.  You have to click on the photo to check it out in detail:

Rolex Wrist Shot of the Week...Rolex Explorer In Front Of Mount Everest...

This is a great wrist shot taken in front of Mount Everest.

Sir Edmund Hillary was the first explorer/mountain climber to first climb to the top of Everest on May, 29 1953 and he was wearing his trusted Rolex Explorer.

In my mind this wrist shot really embodies the essence of the Rolex Explorer.

Lance Armstrong sporting his Trademark Coke Rolex GMT Master...

Lance Armstrong is considered by many to be one of the greatest athletes and road racing cyclists that ever lived.  

Lance won the Tour de France seven consecutive times in a row from 1999 to 2005–something nobody else has ever achieved, and likely never will again. Lance wears a Stainless Steel GMT II Coke Rolex.

Speaking of things people wear on their wrist, Lance's LIVESTRONG Yellow wristband has been extremely successful. 

The money raised from the sale of the extremely popular LIVESTRONG wristbands goes to support the Lance Armstrong  Cancer Foundation which you can visit by clicking here.

The Lance Armstrong has raised over $250 Million dollars to help support cancer survivorship programs and initiatives to make cancer a national priority.

Rolex Wrist Shot of the Day: Yellow Gold GMT II Ceramic with Green Dial...

I am dubbing this watch the "Ocean's 13" watch since Brad Pitt wore it in that movie.

I think this watch is very cool and masculine looking...
