Someone repost when we can order it. Hopefully it’s not as hard to get as the watches.

Brilliant, thanks for sharing, OP! My "Reyes" present (equivalent of Xmas present in Spain, on the 6th of Jan, the three kings bringing presents to newborn Jesus).

Telling the story of iconic models is an important part of keeping the Rolex mystique alive. If this is the start of a collection, I'm in!!

Thank you, Jean-Frédérique Dufour (Rolex CEO).

whoah, whoah, easy there. before we get you a book about the history of the submariner, perhaps you might be able to take a book about the history of datejusts first? or perhaps a book about the history of the oyster perpetual?

mmmyeah, we'll reach out when we have this book about submariners, mmkay thanks buh-bye.

This is great.

No doubt it leads to more books of different models.

You might find interest in a Tudor Black Bay history book while you wait.

Amazon discounting it a little as well and looks like a nice book. I just know if I spend £89 on it, a 14060M will end up following in the next 6 months so would be an expensive purchase!
