A good ref guide to vintage rolex
very informative and loads of nice pix ! good ref guide to vintage rolex !
 A review of this book
While an informative reference on the History of Rolex. The book lacked the depth in accuracy that a collector wants to see in regards to the details of the time pieces there were presented in this book
The authors used pictures thay were computer generated and as such this book did not reflect the true time piece. The authors use of AutoCAD drawings to represent the side profile of the case and this provides no gratitude for a Rolex collector, because collectors would like to actually the real time piece. Also, it seems that they superimposed different Rolex dials on the same watch case. As such, I feel that the authors did not throughly conduct a full field research of the topic they were so passionate on and doubt the accuracy of the whole book.
The Rolex History was fantastic, but it's nothing you can't find on the WEB. As a Rolex collector, I would like to see actual pictures of the time pieces presented, as this provides me a sound representation of the time pieces that I am interested in.
Pictorial wise, even though I can't read Japanese, I find the Japanese Rolex books far more informative.
 Vintage Rolex Sports Models: A Complete Visual Reference
Good book containing a lot of interesting information.
However it is a pity that all the pictures of the watches are not real, i.e. image recreated by computer, therefore all the watches look the same and the book does not mention the dimension of the watches.
Specific to older models of now rare Rolexes
The book deals with older Rolex models. The number of photos, which are more valuable than words, is quite limited.
The photos are of rare watches and the book has more of a educational aspect since the majority such watches are not sold or traded anymore.
A good book if you are a keen Rolex person.
Out of date and nothing new
This book only has old watches in and not all of them at that. Some details are incorrect.
However it is just a book on Rolex sports watches, but it has nothing new, the most modern watch it has is a 1975 GMT. So if you want to know something about Rolex wathes in the last 33 years, its not alot of good,
