The best piece I've received this year!

Sorry not a watch but a book that holds equal value to me. Mom got me this for Christmas this year. Just started to did in, and its amazing. The pictures of some of the most coveted rolex are striking. At almost 400 pages it's truly a great book for living room chats on vintage watches.

Congrats! I received ‘A Man and His Watch’. I look forward to going through it later! Arguably my favourite present!

It’s a good book but the total lack of reference numbers is frustrating to say the least, it makes it pretty much useless for reference purposes.
