50 Most Important Watches
I was browsing the bookshelves and saw this. It's actually a good reference and enjoyable read. It does miss a few facts. Mainly Rolex marketing strikes again haha. Still, really enjoyable and handy read.

I believe so. It's currently on display at Barnes & Noble. I hate that publications no longer have data stamps. But it should be newly issued.

Ah too bad. The article on the 100 year history of the dive watch is also a good read.
That looks like a interesting book, wish it was available in the US.

I'm here on California so it should be available. And it's a magazine issue by Esquire.

If you are really interested, there seems to be a few for sale on ebay for about $22.

I’ll check, thanks!
Update: purchased, thanks!
I hope it mentions how the Smiths was actually the first watch to summit Everest and not the Rolex 🤣
