Interesting find, thanks for sharing.
While the author's choices and rankings of Rolex collectability are up for debate, I will disagree with him on one fact in particular...Sir Malcolm Campbell was not the first person to break the sound barrier.
Campbell set a number of land speed records and was the first person to exceed 300 mph in a land vehicle. He was wearing a Rolex when he did so.
Yeager, flying the X-1, was the first person to break the sound barrier. Oh, and he did it wearing a Rolex too
