Good books

Can anybody recommend a good book on our beloved watches? Either something overall to do with the brands history or on specific watches themselves?

Cheers.

The best Rolex books IMHO, but serious bucks for serious books!

I started a thread about this months ago and got some great recommendations. The best books are a little pricey but there are a few good ones that are affordable until you can save up for Mondani's. His books are by far the best and most comprehensive reference on Rolex.

Mondani's certainly fit the bill but cost an awful lot of bills at the same time, shop around as there are bargains out there & reinforce the shelves too, they're huge




small watch, big book

Thanks fellas. Books look good, but those prices are outrageous... He does a Daytona one that costs $1200.. Insane.

Very good book and the price isn't terrible either

Are there any thrillers or dramas with a watch horology theme?
