Watch it!

[JustTheTip]

I'm a bit of a watch man, amd was wondering if anyone from the PH massive could recommend any good books on Rolex (history and watches, as illustarted as possible).

Ta plenty in advance!

Not specifically Rolex, but the Wristwatch Annual 2005 is very good as a guide to current quality timepieces. Great photos too.

That's a serious collection there Yellowbadge - hope you have it insured.

I've only really got into watche in the past twelve months. I have had a Rolex for years, but then got a bit of a collecting bug. In the past year or less I have bought:

Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the crystal back.

Rolex Oyster Perpetual

Omega Seamaster James Bond

Omega Deville

Rolex Oystedate Precision

Hamilton Ventura (MIB watch)

Invicta Meteorite

Corum Bubble


Then some interesting older/vintage watches including a beautiful gold Longines, a Blancpain, Gold Smiths Astral, etc.


Currently thinking of purchasing a Ulysse Nardin Michelangelo....

Vintage Rolex Explorer
2 Rolex Air Kings
Cartier Pasha
Bulgari Rectangolo
Breitling Bentley (absolute beast, as heavy as an ox!)
Mont Blanc Star
My Dad's old Seiko - I forget what it is!
And a black Chanel J12 (not the footballer's wives one with the diamond bezel).

Not all watch anorak watches, but they're a start!
