Such great books but none in English...
I am seeing such great books on SDs, subs, such as this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-submariner...ayphotohosting and many many more .... but none of them are in english ... pretty darn frustrating to see cool pics but can't read the language ...pics lose half their appeal if you can't understand the verbage ... What's up with these foreigners publishing so many books on rolexes? Why can't they be published in English? any body else notice this phenomenon? The far east is notorious for pusblishing rolex books in all languages known to man except english.... |

Interesting looking book - frustrating that none of us can read it.
There is a book due to be published in English in October called "100 Superlative Rolex Watches" by John Goldberger. It's expensive but it looks good. You can find it on Amazon. |

you know japan has every bible for everything, cars (as specific as a generation 1 integra type r in 130 pages), handbag (LV autumn collection in 100 pages), all with good pictures. Luckily there are Chinese words in Japanese so at least I understand some of it.
