Rolex Hotness: Elin Woods

Tiger Woods Wife Prefers Rolex

Tiger Woods wife, Elin Nordegren-Woods was born in Stockholm, Sweden and she is pictured below wearing a Rolex Submariner.

I am not going to go into any detail about the challenges Tiger Woods is facing today. Tiger is an amazing golfer–perhaps the greatest that ever lived. It really kinda sucks to watch him fall so far so fast from grace.

The Tiger Tudor

Tiger Woods is pictured below with his father who was his trainer until he passed away. Tiger is pictured wearing his trademark Tiger Tudor made by Rolex. Tiger said his father Earl Woods was not only his best friend, but the best friend he could ever have in his life because they were so close.

Rolex signed a deal with Tiger Woods to make a Rolex Tudor Tiger model for years. I always thought Rolex was stupid for not making Tiger a Rolex Ambassador after his contract with Tudor expired. Boy was I wrong!!!! I'll bet Rolex is so happy that he is not a Rolex Ambassador today!!!!

Update: Tiger Wood's Time Is Up

As of December 18, 2009, Tag-Heuer dropped Tiger Woods from their United States advertising campaign. Tag-Heuer originally stood up for Tiger stating that his personal problems were not their business, but on December 18, Tag did an about face and dropped Tiger. This was after Accenture and Gillette pulled Tiger ads.

The Future Of Cycling from MIT: Green Transportation Technology...

The Future Of Cycling from MITThe Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change
I am really into cycling, both road and mountain biking, so I am absolutely fascinated with Cycling technology. MIT just introduced what appears to be a revolutionary hybrid bike that stores kinetic energy from braking and pedaling that you can use later. This stored energy makes it easy to climb steep hills or just cruise faster.

Rolex Macro Shots of the Day: A Yellow Gold Submariner From Down Under....

Yellow Gold Goodness

From Down-Under

David from Australia is a fan of Jake's Rolex Watch Blog and he sent in these superb Macro shots of his yellow-gold Rolex Submariner with the following note:

Hi Jake,

Greetings from Australia. Firstly let me say how much I enjoy your blog - I particularly like the integration of historical and (most) entertainment and sport figures with their watches. I'm a big Bond fan so the bits on that were great.

I have enclosed a few macro shots of my Sub 18K which is a bit of a rare beast around these parts. I'm a bit of a novice with the macro but these ones IMHO seem to capture the textures and character of the watch. Use them if you want.

Best Wishes

David

The Usual Suspects

Jakub Nowakowski sent in this screenshot and said:

Dear Jake,

I am a devoted reader of your blog and I very much enjoy the gallery of actors wearing Rolex. I was watching one of my favorite films, "The Usual Suspects" and I noticed Gabriel Byrne, who plays Dean Keaton–magnificent role by the way–wearing a 16610 Submariner.

Sincerely yours,

JN

Thanks for sharing the screenshot Jakub!!! I am embarrassed to admit it Jakub, but I have not seen the Usual Suspects. Seems I spend most of my time doing researching Rolex history and publishing, but I will check it out!!!

I could never understand why MM's don't come out with Mocha MMs!?! A hint of espresso with MM's would be soooooo gooooood!!!!
