Revideret udgave. Rolex er et ikon og selve symbolet på et klassisk armbåndsur fra Schweiz med en historie, som strækker sig over mere end et århundrede. Det var et Rolex, som sad på håndleddet af sir Edmund Hillary, da han besteg Mount Everest. Og det var et Rolex Deep Sea Special, som fulgte Jacques Piccard ned i dybet, da han dykkede de knap 11.000 meter ned i Marianergraven. For den moderne mand er et Rolex et fascinerende stykke mekanik og et symbol på, at du er der, hvor du gerne vil være i livet. Her indvies du i historien og anekdoterne bag alle Rolex-modeller som Submariner, Explorer og Daytona. Vi viser, hvordan du investerer i et Rolex, og ikke mindst, så hjælper vi dig med at undgå de mange forfalskninger samt forklarer, hvad de såkaldte ’Frankenstein’-ure er for noget. DEN STORE BOG OM ROLEX er lige dele blær og romantik, men også stil og klassiske dyder, og naturligvis rendyrket begejstring over den fascinerende mekanik. Derudover giver vi den moderne mand den perfekte undskyldning for at købe et Rolex, som ingen kvinde kan argumentere imod … Jens Høy er mode- og livsstilsjournalist, kendt fra bl.a. Berlingske, Erhvervsbladet og TV 2, og inkarneret Rolex-kender. Christian Frost er journalist og forfatter og har tidligere lavet Den store bog om ure sammen med Kristian Haagen.
