...added some books to my Rolex library.
...having some time off this week, I thought I would share an updated pic of some new Rolex books I’ve added. Hopefully it might help forum members knowing what’s out there...
The first pic is several years old, and the second just taken today. Next on the wish list is a couple of books by Mondani. Also hoping to get recommendations on others... |

Thank you for your comments.
The books range from pretty much a catalogue to those with tabular data for dates, references, movements etc. So their purpose varies from causal reading to doing some research on a particular reference. As a result I don’t really have a favourite book. These cost between £20-£200 ish. I started with the more inexpensive books before buying those on specific models like the submariner or gmt. With the ongoing lockdown they provide some distraction checking out my next purchase. I thought with the holidays coming up, it might help getting a stocking filler. |

Great collection! I'm not sure this would qualify as a socking stuffer, unless you have some very, very large stockings! |

Great collection of books. Becoming more knowledgeable about the hobby and also feasting on the eye candy can't be beat.

Received The Book of Rolex for Christmas, looks like a great read, did pick up one small error whilst flicking through looking at some of the pictures and noticed a small error on page 105, the picture of Sean and Ursula is quoted as from Licence to Kill, not Dr No.
Just thought I'd share that one.

...added some books to my Rolex library.
Any recommendations if someone were to pick up just a couple - which you would recommend over the others? Curious which are most versatile in content covering a broad range of history, pictures, stories or other content. Not just technical

Brand Documentary Magazine has a pretty cool Rolex issue available on Amazon for $25.
A Man & His Watch, although not exclusive to Rolex, is a very cool read. |

On a side note I have found books to be cheaper on other online shops than Amazon. |
