When I bought my EXP II the sales manager gave me a beautiful hard cover Rolex book with every 2018-2019 model. It is 9.5" x 7" x 1", 215 pages. A great coffee table book to browse through and salivate. I would assume other members here have seen or own one?

Isn't that a catalog?

When I wrote my original post that was the word I was thinking of but it seemed to understate its quality.

.......although porn does come closer.

Maybe everyone on this site but me already has one but I was used to the 1/4" softcover catalogs of the 80's. This one is a big leap in elegance and quality to me.

Yep, there's no denying the production quality

The AD usually has a stack of these to hand out to interested parties. I also received a book all about the Submariner.

John, as Adam said above, this is indeed a catalogue.

However, I do agree that it is a beautiful “book.”

Umm, it’s a coffee table book, if you dare.. at best....

DoctorA · 15 September 2018, 12:15 PM

I actually like to collect those yearly catalogues!

I left mine at the store last time... haha. Next time!

Have one in the bathroom, my favorite bathroom reading material of all time.

Got mine last week. Love it

steversaurus · 6 November 2018, 04:32 PM

It was actually a nice surprise. I also wonder if it was because JLC and Omega have also been doing hardcovers.

My AD gave me one as well, it was a nice surprise and I really like it.

Agree a very nice book which my dealer gave me as well. Shows me all of the Rolex sport watches they refuse to make available, unless you're willing to pay 100% markup on the gray market. I'm looking to buy a new GMT Master IIc Pepsi, of course. Honestly, I'm really getting disgusted with this company. If you want a new Ferrari or Porsche built to your specifications, you can have it. I know, because I've done it. And, yes their sports cars are handmade as well. But Rolex? You can't get them. Lots of theories on why they're making their SS sport watches so scarce, but seems to me they want to sell their higher end gold or gold/stainless watches for a larger profit margin. IMO - it's pure BS that they are keeping their most in demand watches from us.

If anyone wants one of these, they're "supposed" to be handed out to any prospective client. I bet if you ask nicely you could acquire one quite easily. Dealers receive cases of them.
