Rolex Studio Shot of the Day: Leo's Rolex King Midas & Badge...


Leo's Rolex King Midas & Badge
NYPD Blue

Leo (The Idle Swede) is my right-hand man on Jake's Rolex Watch Blog and Leo of course is a Rolex fanatic, but most people don't know he is also an Elvis fanatic. Elvis Presley wore an original Limited Edition (Individually Numbered 1 through 999) Rolex King Midas just like Leo's which is pictured below.

Elvis Presley was really, really into collecting Police badges for some bizarre reason so Leo (The Idle Swede) collects them as well as pictured below. Leo took this amazing Rolex studio shot which I love. You can learn all about Elvis Presley's Rolex King Midas and see exclusive photos of Elvis' actual watch that were shot for Jake's Rolex Watch Blog by Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee by clicking here.

Rolex Quote Of The Day


Rolex Quote Of The Day

"A Rolex is a beautifully machine-crafted out of enduring materials and does a great job of keeping time. It will last a lifetime or longer and never go out of style. I bought one for myself under the pretense that you should only buy things once. That in-and-of-itself is my argument for Rolex watches!!!" –B

Rolex Blingmaster: Mr. T
"I Pitty The Fool That Doesn't Wear A Rolex!!!"
Rolex Presidental Ice

I thought about being Mr. T for Halloween but I just didn't think I could pull it off. In all seriousness, Mr. T may look scary, but he is a really nice guy. Remember the A-Team? Actually I think I watched it once when I was a kid.

Rolex Macro Shot Of The Day
An Australian GMT Master II Up Close

Hsung from Melbourne, Australia took this up-close photo of his GMT Master. Notice how cool the etched Coronet looks on the bottom of the crystal. Speaking of Australia, George Lazenby who we just looked at is the only James Bond from Australia.

American's Are Crazy About Halloween...


American's Are Crazy
About Halloween

I live in San Francisco and it seems like everybody here is crazy about Halloween!!! I notice as the years go by Americans in general keep getting more and more into Halloween.

As a matter of fact, Americans spend more than$5 Billion a year celebrating Halloween!!! Perhaps it is because Halloween provides an escape from everyday reality? If you are not familiar with Halloween, people tend to dress up in costumes to pretend they are other people.

When I was a child it seems like it was more of a trick-or-treat thing, but it appears to have stuck with many adults who get really into it. This next video is really funny and strange at the same time. It features Al Roker, the host of the Today show, dressed up as the Hans Solo character from Star Wars that was play by Harrison Ford. Notice Al Roker is wearing his trademark Rolex Submariner on his right wrist in the video!!!

I am not sure what is going on, but the Ewok's seem to get drunk and loose their minds!!!
