Jake's Rolex Watch Blog...

[Smile]

Jake, your Rolex page is by far THE BEST I have ever seen -- one can feel your LOVE for these wonderful
watches in every article - THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS !!!!

[Prof. Rolex]

Hi Jake
let me take the opportunity to also thank you for your excellent blog. I really enjoyed reading most of the articles and some of them are nearly “scientific”.

Regarding your article about Dr. Martin Luther King, please find following the missing link between Dr. King and the president elected Obama:





Jesse Jackson is wearing his Rolex Day-Date Tridor since many years. Even when there was some “misunderstanding” in Summer (you may remember the open microphone…) between Obama and Jackson, Jackson feeled not ashamed of his tears, when Obama became president elected.

Until now Obama does not wear a Rolex, but I think it does not last long until an official from Rolex Geneva will present a Rolex to Obama……

Best Regards
Matthias

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for your kind words.

I agree that my approach is scientific and that is by design. Science, by definition being the pursuit of truth. One of my primary objectives with the blog is to once and for all, separate all the fact from the fiction.

It never ceases to amaze me with Rolex how many perpetuated and untrue myths have become reality.

Thank you for sharing the Jessie Jackson pics with me. I already ran them in a story about Jackson back in June of 2008. Here is the link:

Once again, Matthias, thank you very much for sharing your kind words.

Warmest regards,

Hi Everybody,

I just wrote an article about a Rolex GMT that appeared in an episode of the original STAR TREK TV show. I learned about this from NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao.

Hi Everybody!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your very kind words!!!

I have been wearing Rolex watches for over a quarter century and I always sensed there was a deeply profound history to Rolex that nobody had ever really explored.

Whenever I find a great new piece of the Rolex history puzzle, I feel a certain thrill that I believe my readers feel when they first discover the same piece of history. It is difficult for me to put into words what this feeling of discovery means, but Bernhard nailed it when he said "what you show.... is what Rolex is about to me!!!!" I know what you mean Bernhard!!!

I think it is great that we are all having fun and enjoying the profound Rolex history together.

Warmest regards.

Happy Holidays!!!!!!

Hi Everybody!!!

I hope you are all having a great holiday season.

I just put up part 1 of a 9 part podcast interview with T. Walker Lloyd who was an executive with Rolex for almost a quarter century.

T. Walker began his career with Rolex as an oceanographic consultant and helped to develop the Rolex SEA-DWELLER with SEALAB and went on to become a senior executive.

This is an amazing story and the first and only time I know of when a former Rolex executive went on the record in a detailed recorded interview.

In part 1, T. Walker Lloyd covers everything from Kojak to Thunderball to Jaws.

I am certain you will enjoy this amazing podcast and article which you can find here:

Happy Holidays!!!
