Here is the first in a series of many letters to be shown of Rolex owners that tell of their stories and experiences with their watches.

Great story, Steve!! I love knowing these around Rolex watches and not just from people like Kiri Te Kanawa or Yo Yo Ma in the Rolex adverts.

Please post more when you can.

Yep....

Over a period of years, a Rolex can endure a host of adventures.

Very neat! Where are these stories being published? Are they being used as ads?

Tony the stories are published in a book from Rolex called "The Rolex Letters" which was published in or about 1986. It was a free publication, but the print run has long since finished.

I'll post No. 2 in the next 24 hours.

I have a book like this, 15 or so old, which is very similar - from my Rolex AD titled 'Every Rolex Tells a story'.

The sea dweller involved in the motorcycle accident looks preaty cool. I like the watch how it looks now. If they make jeans that look old and with holes, why not rolexes that look scratched? Just my opinion :-)

Transient · 17 January 2008, 12:00 PM

I would love to see the after shot of that Sea Dweller after it comes back from Service!!

Excellent stories.

I should have put a couple of these books on my Xmas list.
