Rolex Coolness: James May Top Gear Rolex Milgauss

Rolex Coolness: James May

Top Gear Rolex Milgauss

Jakob, from Sweden, is a fan of Top Gear, Rolex watches, and of course Jake's Rolex World. He wrote in to share a photo of James May from the latest episode of Top Gear (17x06) sporting a stainless steel Rolex Milgauss. That means that so far at least two out of the three hosts of Top Gear wear Rolex. Richard Hammond sports a Submariner.

If you are not familiar with James May, you can check him out in this video driving the crazy, whicked, fast Bugatti Veyron. The Bugatti Veyron is the fastest car money can buy today. Take this full-screen and crank the volume way up!!!!!!

...Rolex Studio Shot Of The Day...

Rolex Commando

[Reference 6429: 34.5mm Diameter]

Lorenzo's Rolex Commando is pictured below, and it is an unusual and very rare watch. Not much is known about the origin of the Rolex Commando model. Apparently they were sold by Abercrombie & Fitch, and there has been other speculation that it was only sold in the U.S. and Canadian market. They are manual wind watches and it appears they were made and sold between 1967 and 1972. A Rolex commando recently sold in 2010 at Christie's Auction house for $25,000.

Bill Cosby

Bill Cosby is one of the biggest Rolex fans on earth and he has a huge collection of Rolex Day-Dates [a.k.a., The Rolex President]. Bill has been wearing Rolex watches for at least 45 years since he acted on the TV show, I Spy. Both Robert Culp and Bill Cosby both wore Pepsi GMTs on I Spy. If you want to learn much more about Bill Cosby and Rolex, you can on Jake's Rolex World.

On the Bill Cosby comedy album cover pictured above from 1965 named Why is there air? it shows Bill Cosby wearing his Rolex GMT 45 years ago. So this means he has been wearing Rolex for at least 45 years. This next shot is from I Spy, and shows Bill sporting his trademark Pepsi GMT Master.

In the next 2 photos below we see Bill Cosby during the Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids years, wearing a Yellow Gold Mocha GMT Master.

In this last image, we see Bill Cosby During the Cosby Show years, wearing a platinum Rolex Day-Date.

Debut of The Car Show on SPEED Tonight

Regular RolexMagazine.com readers know I'm a certified car nut. I was checking out video of the Aston Martin Rapide on TheSmokingTire.com last night when I was reminded, the host, Matt Farah, wears a Rolex LV SubMariner.

Matt Farah has been producing automotive web programs for quite a few years with Garage 419 and TheSmokingTire.com. He's now one of the co-hosts (along with Adam Carolla, Dan Neil and John Salley) of The Car Show which premieres tonight on the SPEED network, and it looks Pretty Good!!! Pretty Good!!! It may even be as good as the British version of Top Gear ;-P

Clearly Matt appreciates the finer things. Great cars and GREAT watches!!!
