I was looking at some of the Rolex Books, specifically the Submariner book from one of the forums advertisers....

EUR 620,00 is about $900.00 USD

Am I doing the right conversioin?

Those books are expensive but absolutely the best around!

SWIMPRUF · 5 September 2011, 01:54 AM

That's one expensive book but very informative IMO.

HL65 · 5 September 2011, 02:00 AM

I have it and it is a great book!! It is huge though!!

It's a great book but I don't really like how they work. When they release the book so was it limited to 2000 pcs.
After it was sold out they start printing a new batch. IMO so should they not do a thing like this because the
collector value will not be the same when they made some more of it.

Wow...like Rolex ...Guido raised his prices.

Great book tho.

Thanks...I wondered if it was a Limited Edition...I guess IT WAS. That could sorta justify the price but not now for me at least.

I had the Rolex Report YEARS ago...when was the last time that was updated? I am seeing some online that say 2002? That would not include a lot of models if that is true. Anyone know when the Rolex Report was updated?

I haven't heard something from Charles Jarman (The Rolex Reference Guide) since 2002 when he release the 4th editon.
John E Brozek (The Rolex Report) do his 4th edition 2002 too and I guess that was the last books they made. John still
are up with Rolex watches, I don't know about Charlie. Maybe Rolex stop them from made this kind of books, I don't know.

A great book indeed, if patient you can pick one up from eBay, paid around $500 for mine, new with shipping included. Beware though, you have to wear surgical stockings when reading it on your lap, it's HUGE & will stop the blood flow

I have another from Guido Mondani: Collecting Rolexes. But it is all pictures and no information. I've been wanting to get the Submariner one but hard to find. The pictures are amazing though....very very in depth!!
