- Must have book for Rolex fansThis book is offered in a great luxurious package. Nice ellegant binding, good paper stock, and great big format pictures.

I enjoyed every page of it, and I only regret not having a little bit of more text explaining more details about the watches shown.

- Overpriced. Oversized. Overrated. Save your money!Research to locate each of the 100 watches is superb; photography is fine, but not exotic, amazing or memorable; layout is particularly consistent and important from not an artistic view, but from a watch comparison standpoint. Binding and paper quality are outstanding to excellent, respectively, and printing finish is good, too.
But, the book lacks a few things I wanted to see: (1) price of each watch when new; (2) estimated current value of each, and (3) more details about the pluses and minuses ... Read More
