Michael Bublé

An Amazing Career Keeping Time With Rolex

Michael Bublé is not only an amazing singer, with many career achievements, but he is also a Rolex Ambassador. This should come as no surprise, since in so many ways he epitomizes and embodies the Rolex zeitgeist. I say this because he is completely classic, in an updated modern, timeless way.

Michael Bublé married Luisana Lopilato in 2011, and wrote a song about her that she appeared in the video for, which is named, "I just haven't met you yet." You can watch the video below:

1971 Rolex Explorer II

Reference 1655

Rolex introduced the Explorer II in 1971, and it had an orange hand to keep track of the time in a second time zone. The current orange hand Rolex Explorer II  is based upon this cool retro-design.

Pepsi Rolex GMT-Master

Vintage Rolex Driving A Vintage Mustang

Calgary is a reader of Jake's Rolex World and he recently sent in the following image with a note:

Hello Jake,

Just wanted to share with you a nice photo with my 1999 GMT-Master II and 2008 Mustang GT.

Not a bad match at all is it? 

Take care mate & great work, awesome blogs!

Best,

Dogu

Of course, the cool thing about this photo is how the red, blue and silver on the Pespi bezel match the red, blue and silver of the mustang logo. I hope Rolex brings back the stainless steel GMT-Master with the pepsi bezel, since it is so trademark iconic!!!

* Note: I used the term "Vintage" to describe the 2008, Mustang, as well as the 1999 GMT. Vintage in my mind is any model no longer made. Just like a bottle of wine from 2008 would be a "Vintage 2008" wine.

This amazing photo reminds me of that classic scene in Willy Wonka In The Chocolate Factory where Willy and his Grandfather (The Man from Chico & The Man ;-) got stuck in the bubble machine and floated to the top in the bubbles...
