If you interested in learning about rolex watches, or enhancing the knowledge you already have, there are quite a few books on the market that provide a good overview of the company history, individual watches, vintage models, information on how to spot a fake Rolex, and other interesting bits of information for the Rolex enthusiast.
The one I've seen mentioned a few times is "The Rolex Report: an Unauthorized Reference Book for the Rolex Enthusiast" by John E. Brozek. This book offers insight into identifying counterfeit Rolexes, which is a valuable advice for anyone who wants to buy a Rolex but has no clue how to go about it.
This might be a good place to mention that many books about Rolex are "unauthorized," which means the authors did not have the company's explicit permission to publish the book. That does not mean that the information in the book is fraudulent or untrue; it only means that Rolex did not collaborate with the author in any way.
The book has earned significant plaudits from those in the know:
- Jeffrey P. Hess, Foreword to The Rolex Report, July, 2002
"...a substantial compilation of materials that collectors and students of Rolex alike will surely use on a daily basis."
- Edward Heliosz, The Ultimate Rolex Library, 2003
"...This is a superb publication and should be the first Rolex book you should buy..."
- Bertram Kalisher, Editor, Chronos Magazine"...John Brozek has created a tool that is worth its weight in gold..."
- Bruce Shawkey, International Wristwatch Magazine, December, 2003
"I can't say enough good things about this book. You will pull it from your bookshelf again and again..."
