Holbrook, II December 1st, 2010 The kind folks at Mondani Press recently sent me a review copy of their newest book publication entitled ROLEX GALLERY.

Book Review: 100 YEARS OF ROLEX By: John B. Holbrook, II December 3rd, 2008 100 YEARS OF ROLEX, by Franca and Guido Mondani, was written to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of Rolex.

Book Review: COLLECTING ROLEX GMT-MASTER WRISTWATCHES By: John B. Holbrook, II November 16th, 2008 I own nearly every book published by noted Rolex expert and author Guido Mondani, but I don’t think I’ve been any more impressed than by one of his latest works, COLLECTING ROLEX GMT-MASTER WRISTWATCHES.
