Printing Error
This copy has a printing error and some typos. Overall a competent volume, but lacking some detail (photos) that would have been helpful.

Excellent primer into vintage Rolex
Starts with basic principles such as authenticity, originality & correctness + condition + where / how to buy. Also provides a good overview of antique, vintage and certain modern Rolexes. You will need to supplement this with more in-depth resources before diving (pun intended) into certain models. But a great first reference and one that helps build a firm foundation.
