DEEP SEA Submarine The Life Aquatic


DEEP SEA Submarine
The Life Aquatic

This company from Holland named U-Boat Worx sells personal DEEP SEA Submarines and this looks seriously fun, not to mention, Chris Rea singing "On The Beach," is great. For some reason, this video reminds me of Flipper. You gotta love summer!!!

Rolex Studio Shot Of The Day: Gibson Les Paul Custom & Submariner Reference 5513


Good Things Endure & Become Classics
Rolex Studio Shot Of The Day
[Gibson Les Paul Custom & Submariner Reference 5513]

Everything considered classic today was once considered to be modern. This is definitely the case with the Gibson Les Paul as well as the Rolex Submariner 5513, and the one thing both have in common is their simple design language. Vince took these superb shots that show his guitar and Submariner which both have a beautiful patina that can only come with age.

Daniel Craig: The New King Of Cool
Steve McQueen Style Taken To The Next Level

Greg, who is a daily reader of Jake's Rolex World wrote in and said:

"Your blog just keeps getting better....I really like the articles on Daniel Craig...he seems like a "real man" something you don't see much of today...and he has great style...he took over from Steve McQueen...and bettered McQueen's style..."

International Space Station Tour!!!
Insane Full-Tour In High Defenition

In 2008 we did a story and podcast with Dr. Leroy Chaio who was the expedition leader and Commander of the International Space Station Expedition 10 which gave him the opportunity to live on the International Space Station for 6.5 months. Dr. Leroy Chaio of NASA is pictured below.


One of the great questions, is what is it like to live on the International Space Station? In this amazing video we are taken on an amazing high-defenition NASA tour video by U.S. NASA Space Shuttle Pilot Barry Willmore!!!! Barry appears to be wearing an Omega Speedmaster on his left wrist and some kind of digital watch on his right wrist. If you have the all-new 27 inch iMac, go into full-screen mode and turn the volume way up!!!

2006 Rolex Laureates Ad


2006 Rolex Laureates Ad

What an amazing photograph!!!!! It's incredible to contrast the size of the human swimming above the whale shark. Just awe inspiring!!! The whale shark is like the size of a house–but swimming through the ocean!!! I can't imagine any dinosaur could have been larger than the whale-shark!!! Inner-Space really is every bit as fascinating as Outer-Space, if not more!!!!
