It probably is the best one out there, but it's currently out of print. You can still pick them up though. Post a WTB on TZ and I'm sure an offer or two would pop up. It's a b!tch to ship though... it weighs about 7lbs.

It's strength is the vintage stuff and I find the more modern stuff gets shortchanged. However, Dowling and Hess are apparently working on updating the book, but I'm unsure of a re-release date.

BTW, retail of the book (in Canada) was about $175.

And, if you can't find the answers there, just ask Padi

Dowling book is not out of print. In fact there is a 2006 update that I have. Go to Amazon. Also, the Rolex Report 4th ed by Brozek is worth having.

Well there you go. It's been updated already. Show's how out of the Rolex loop I am (and I'm happy about that! ) .

WTB = want to buy
TZ = www.timezone.com

Vintage Rolex Sports Models by Martin Skeet and Nick Urul is a great book also.
