Lindsey Vonn took first place and won the women's Downhill Olympics Gold Medal in Whistler, British Columbia at the 2010 winter olympics. At age 9, Lindsey Vonn met Olympic downhill silver medalist, Picabo Street in a Minnesota ski shop and at that moment she decided she wanted to be just like her one day, but Vonn achieved even more.

Yesterday, Vonn became the first American women to win a gold medal in the Olympic downhill. The fact she won is even more impressive when you realize she was suffering from a very painful recent accident that seriously injured her shin.
Lindsey is pictured above and below sporting her stainless steel Rolex Datejust on a Super Jubilee bracelet.
Lindsey Vonn is pictured below on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Olympics Special Cover.
In the next 3 pictured from Sports Illustrated, we see Lindsey Vonn posing for a bikini photo shoot in Sports Illustrated. Oh Behave!!!!
As I mentioned in the story above, Lindsey Vonn's role-model was American Olympic medal winner, Picabo Street who is featured in the vintage Rolex ad below. Picabo won a gold medal in the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, and a silver medal in the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. She also won 3 World Championship medals in her amazing career.
Skippy from Holland took this great wrist-shot while watching the women's speed-skating 3000 Meters Event of the 2010 Winter Olympics currently being held in Vancouver, Canada.
Leonardo Dicaprio and his supper-leggy-model girlfriend, Bar Refaeli both wear Rolex Daytona Cosmograph watches. We see Bar Refaeli above sporting her two-tone Rolex Daytona and Leonardo Dicaptio (pictured below) sporting his stainless steel Rolex Daytona.
It is amazing when you study Rolex marketing history, how ahead of the curve Rolex always was, particularly with the ladies. Once again, this supports my strong belief that Rolex, first and foremost, has always been about achievement.
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!!!
[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.
Historically Rolex has always been extremely secretive and discreet, and no journalists in the past have ever been invited "INSIDE ROLEX" to explore and report on all four Rolex Manufacturing faclities in Switzerland.
In November 2013, this changed when Rolex invited Jake to take an unprecdented journey into the heart of Rolex to learn and report on everything he witnessed and learned.
This Super-Detailed 3 Part Story is a "MUST READ" story for anybody who wants to understand what really makes Rolex tick.
