T. Walker Lloyd Podcast & Article: 25 Years With Rolex
Hi Everybody!!!
I hope you are all having a great holiday season. I just put up part 1 of a 9 part podcast interview with T. Walker Lloyd who was an executive with Rolex for almost a quarter century. T. Walker began his career with Rolex as an oceanographic consultant and helped to develop the Rolex SEA-DWELLER with SEALAB and went on to become a senior executive. This is an amazing story and the first and only time I know of when a former Rolex executive went on the record in a detailed recorded interview. In part 1, T. Walker Lloyd covers everything from Kojak to Thunderball to Jaws. I am certain you will enjoy this amazing podcast and article which you can find here: http://www.RolexWatchBlog.com Happy Holidays!!! Jake

Part 2 of the T. Walker Lloyd Podcast & Article: 25 Years With Rolex
I just put up part 2 of the 9 part podcast interview with T. Walker Lloyd who was an executive with Rolex for almost a quarter century.
In part 2, T. Walker Lloyd covers everything from the mystery of the NASA Apollo Astronauts wearing Rolex to the Moon, to how the Rolex President was named "The President" to how Rolex provided Tom Selleck on Magnum P.I. with his Rolex GMT. I also added a whole new set of photos along with show notes. T. Walker began his career with Rolex as an oceanographic consultant and helped to develop the Rolex SEA-DWELLER with SEALAB and went on to become a senior executive. This is an amazing story and the first and only time I know of when a former Rolex executive went on the record in a detailed recorded interview. Enjoy part 2 and stay tuned for part 3 of 9: http://www.RolexWatchBlog.com Happy Holidays!!! Jake

Steve,
May I ask why that when I posted this several weeks ago it was blocked because Jake was a banned member? Just curious, but I am really happy to see this up here because I know there a lot of people here on TRF who will immensely enjoy the work Jake is doing. Patrick

Oh, by the way, Omega bought the rights to the moon
 According to T. Walker Lloyd, Omega bought the rights to the moon in the Apollo program. Most astronauts preferred their Rolex GMT's. It's in the podcast.. Be sure to devote some hours to the podcasts because they are definately cool! http://rolexblog.blogspot.com/search...Walker%20Lloyd -Sheldon
