I've purchased and read most of "The Rolex Report". I'm looking for another book to buy. Something giving pictures, history, info and descriptions on the company etc. Anyone have any they'd recommend?

Check the Barnes & Noble web page or Amazon.com. You might find something there

Dowling and Hess, 'The Best of Times, Rolex Wristwatches'
T. Charles Jarman. 'The Rolex Reference Guide'

I have also just become aware of a few other WIS-read heavyweights - significantly more expensive. They include volumes by Cooper, Gordon, and Mondani. Some are in the $300-500 per price range. A little too much for my reading enjoyment right now, I'm afraid. Cheers!

I have The Best of Time Rolex Wristwatches: An Unauthorized History (Schiffer Book for Collectors)

It is at http://www.amazon.com/The-Best-Time-.../dp/0764324373

I don't remember it being that expensive

No, it isn't one of the high price volumes mentioned - seems it was less than $100. I like it, too!

I actually added that to my amazon "shopping cart" earlier. It's several hundred less than the next one up. Unfortunately I was hoping to read it during my trip to Mexico and its shipping from the UK. ETA is 2-3 weeks. My flight is in 8 days. 😂
