    VRFG (G for guide) became the VRFM (M for Manual) the Vintage Rolex Field Manual - The Chevalier edition
    Besides all the "nerdy" details on the Rolex tool- & dress watches, movements, calibers, bracelets & accessoires... this 266 pages hardcover book is laced with interesting background stories & anecdotes of adventurers, explorers, sportsmen & -women, aviation, spaceflight, historical figures etc...

    The book is very well written with a great overview of the brand. The tables are beyond fantastic. They are comprehensive and easy to use. The Comex/Military section is great. This book is like a Swiss Army knife for Rolex hunting. Yes, it could use more pics but for the price, it’s a great, portable reference . Of course I used it to validate my watches again and it came in super handy in some PM discussions over the first quarter of this year.
