Synopsis
The brand with the crown is recognized worldwide as an invaluable sports implement and luxury product. In little more than one hundred years, it has become one of the most successful and innovative watch brands on the planet. From the beginning, the sponsorship of statesmen, movie stars, and athletes has driven its success, but the company has expanded to include more than just the rich and famous. Rolex manufactures more than a half a million wristwatches per year while maintaining an outstanding reputation and near-perfect quality. The Rolex Oyster became the first watch to defy the elements when, in 1927, Mercedes Gleitze wore one while she swam the English Channel. In 1933, the company patented the first automatic winding mechanism. Browse images and historical and technical details of the most reliable Rolex models, including the Submariner, Cosmograph, and Yachtmaster, which divers, auto-racers, and boat captains trust for their precision and durability. Includes updated reports written about new Rolex ideas and performance tests featured in the German watch magazine Armbanduhren (Wristwatch) from the past 15 years. Features more than 185 color photographs. Plus a price guide!

Got an email saying that they didn't have it. Not sure why it was listed then. Made me miss out ordering it elsewhere.
Follow-up from: e***d- Feedback followed up on by buyer.- Feedback followed up on by buyer.
Oops, put wrong review above. Rocky Mtn actually waited over 5 days to "ship" the item, and several days later I messaged them to get tracking info. Rather than provide that, they immediately said "it must be lost" and issued a refund. Seems to be a common occurrence. Guessing they likely didn't have it in stock. All of that time wasted made me miss out on getting the book from another seller or company. Frustrating.
