The Rolex Guide

It is a reference book written in English with 365 pages and +500 images with a focus on:

– The story behind the Rolex hype from 2016 till today

– Investing in Rolex including trends and price development over the last 15-20 years

– Buyer’s guide; What to pay attention to when buying preowned Rolex watches

– Detailed review of all sports models in steel from 1960-2024 including deep dive on dial/ case/bracelet/movement/bezel variants, etc.

The following references are reviewed in details with all relevant data, including all dial variants, which ONLY exist in this book, as it is based on my own research:

The book is NOT just a “picture book” with a lot of historical gossip and model presentation, like most other watch books, but a next-level hardcore knowledge collection of ALL the information I have collected over the past 20 years as a passionate collector, watch investor and pro dealer. It is by far the most geeky book on sports Rolex available, and contains all the knowledge a collector needs to avoid making the wrong purchase. Everything is of course documented with lots of tables and detailed pictures.
