  • One of the Best
One of the best books on Rolex that I have read and enjoyed.
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2026 by Roter Hund

  • Highly recommended book on the story and uniqueness of Rolex
Great book, very well laid out, enjoying it a lot. Arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. Very good read about the world's most popular watch brand. If you know anyone into watches, or just looking for a good gift, this would be nice to gift someone, or just enjoy yourself. Nice add to my collection. Highly recommended. ... show more

  • Phenomenal
Absolutely phenomenal. I’ve purchased many books on Rolex. Some are good, but many rehash the same old 30,000-foot history and marketing. Mr. Dowling's latest is something to be savored, full of interesting scholarship and storytelling. What a treat. Thank you for sharing, sir.

  • Time Capsule
Excellent educational walk through the history and transformations of an iconic brand. Supported by beautiful full page photos highlighting prime examples throughout the decades. The author comes across as having a depth of first hand nuanced knowledge.

  • Not worth the price
A lot of information on watches, not particularly the type of information.I thought it would be.But overall, it's just an average picture book maybe wait a while it'll go on sale or something.I wouldn't pay full price for it again
