Valentino Rossi Smokes Marc Márquez To Win @ Sepang


...The Greatest Motorcycle Racer In The World...

Rolex Super Coolness

Valentino Rossi
Smokes Marc Márquez @ Sepang
Supercase Ceramic Rolex Submariner

9 Time Moto GP World Champion

Italian born, Valentino Rossi is widely regarded as the greatest Motorcycle racer in the world and in history, having won 9 Moto GP World Championships. In the image below we see Valentino smoking Marc Márquez today @ Sepang. This event was highly controversial, as Valentino Rossi claimed that he was just defending himself.




Commenting on today's event Valentino Rossi said: 

"You know unfortunately I lost a lot of time with Marc and in turn 14, I tried to go wide to get a better line to make him slow because he just rides to cause me some problems. Unfortunately he came to me and I think he crashed in that moment. It’s a shame because I think that in a normal race we can stay and fight with Jorge and we lost some more points. Valencia will be more difficult."



Valentino Rossi is pictured below wearing his Rolex Submariner with a ceramic bezel. You can learn much more about Valentino's illustrious achievements as the worlds greatest motorcycle racer in my detailed story on his career achievements.

...Rolex Hotness...

Athina Onassis
Ladies 34MM Rolex Datejust Special Edition

Athina Onassis Roussel is the maternal granddaughter and only surviving descendent of legendary Greek shipping magnatte, Aristotle Onasis.  Athina is a competitive show jumper, and as we see in the photos below Athina wears a ladies 34MM Datejust Special Edition. It appears Athina has two different models of the same Rolex watch, one with a dark dial, and one with a light dial.










Aristotle Onassis
Athina's Grandfather

The photo below shows Athina's maternal grandfather, Aristotle Onassis in 1969 watching the World Series, with his wife, Jackie Onassis, along with her children, Caroline and JFK Jr. Ironically Caroline Kennedy wears a Rolex today, and Aristotle Onasis gave JFK Jr., a Paul Newman Exotic Dial Daytona.

1950s Rolex Submariner Brochure Pic [Reference 6536]


1950s Rolex Submariner Brochure Pic
[Reference 6536]

I couldn't help but notice this late 1950s Rolex Submariner has a blockier case, with thicker lugs, kind of like the newest Ceramic Supercase Submariner. I also noticed in this illustration that the case lacks outer lug holes like the all-new Submariner Supercase. Very Interesting!!!

Robin Thicke: Keeping Time With Rolex


...Rolex Coolness...

Robin Thicke
Keeping Time With Rolex

Alright! Summer has just given way to Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, and I say it's time for some upbeat, positive, happy music! Robin Thicke is one of the top recording artists today, and he is the son of actors, Alan Thicke, and Gloria Loring. Robin Thicke wears a bunch of different Rolex watches, as you can see in the photos below, and in the videos below. In this first image we see Robin Thicke sporting a yellow gold Rolex Yacht-Master with a blue sunburst dial.


Robin Thick wears a stainless steel Rolex Submariner in his hit music video named "Lost Without You", which features his wife, who he has known since they were young teenagers. Ironically, they had two kids together and then broke-up. Supposedly Robin has been trying to get his wife back, and he recently dedicated this song to her. Man, that's tough...




Blurred Lines

In the photo below we see Robin Thicke (center), next to Pharrell Williams, who recorded the super mega-hit, "Blurred Lines", which is one of the most successful international smash-hit songs ever recorded in musical history!



As we see in the screen-grabs above and below, Robin Thicke wears a yellow-gold Rolex Day-Date in the Blurred Lines music Video.


Below is the official version of Blurred Lines with Robin Thicke and Pharrell. It has over 300 Million views on YouTube!!!


The video below features Robin Thicke live on The Voice in Australia, and it is an amazing performance, and we see Robin Thicke sporting his yellow gold Daytona.


Pharrell Williams is featured on Blurred Lines, and he is probably best known for his amazing mega-hit named Happy, which you can watch below.

1956: The Very First Rolex Day-Date



1956
The Very First Rolex Day-Date

It never ceases to amaze me how timeless Rolex watches are, and in this photo we see the very first Rolex Day-Date model made and introduced at Basel Fair in Switzerland in 1956, which is 54 years ago!!! I love the red date wheel along with the red Day-Date designation on the dial.

Harrison Ford Returns As Hans Solo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens





...Rolex Ultra-Super-Coolness...

Harrison Ford
Returns to STAR WARS as Hans Solo 
The Force Awakens

Who is the coolest guy to ever wear a Rolex? Steve McQueen? Paul Newman? Sir Sean Connery? One could argue it would be Harrison Ford! In the photo below we see Harrison Ford reprise his role as Hans Solo in the upcoming J.J. Abrams Star Wars movie, which is scheduled to launch this Christmas!!!

"Chewy, we're home!"



Star Wars
The Force Awakens
Official Trailer

Lucas film just launched the official Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer!!!!! Watching this send shivers down my spine, and I can't wait to see it this Christmas!!!!






Star Wars
The Force Awakens
Trailer Teasers

Bellow you can see the first two official teaser trailers for the Star Wars: The Force Awakens.



In these trailers, we see Harrison Ford return as Hans Solo which is really cool. In the photo below, we see Harrison Ford wearing his Rolex Datejust, as he kissed Cary Fisher, with Mark Hamill looking on. If I recall correctly, I think I remember Cary Fisher saying she and Harrison Ford had an affair offscreen, which may explain that look on her face below :-o


The screen grab below is from the official Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer. I could not help but notice how similar it looks to the picture above, of Harrison Ford hugging Carrie Fisher. Completely unrelated, but fascinating nonetheless. 



Below are some never before seen photos of young Harrison Ford wearing his Rolex Datejust from my unpublished Rolex archive. Harrison Ford is as timeless and classic as his Rolex Datejust.
