    Is there such a thing? My Google-fu is failing me.

    I want to learn about the old Rolexes, 50~60's. I'm having a hard time finding a quick reference to the different references they have put out over the years.

    For a simple walk-through, get Skeet and Urul's Vintage Rolex Sports Models. It isn't MWO, but I've found it invaluable as a primer

    Considering I would like to start hunting for my first Rolex I am now looking for reference materials so thank you for sharing this.

    (6/16/2020) As a note to others that are in the US that are possibly looking to purchase this book, it is cheaper to buy from the Amazon UK site with the shipping/tax/exchange rate than it was to purchase from the Amazon US site :confused:.
