A movement in Time with Breitling & Rolex : Un authorized history. Author Mark Cooper

           IF YOU ARE A WATCH COLLECTOR, OR JUST INTERESTED IN THE HISTORY OF WATCHES, THIS BOOK IS PERFECT. I AM A WATCH COLLECTOR, I HAVE ALSO BOUGHT THE ONLY OTHER BREITLING BOOK AVAILABLE, AND BOTH ROLEX BOOKS. JEFFREY HESS'S BOOK ON ROLEX HAS TO BE THE BIBLE ON ROLEX, ( THE BEST OF TIME) BUT THATS GREAT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW IF SERIAL NUMBER AND CASE NUMBER.

THIS BOOK IS TOLD LIKE A STORY, IT COVERS HOW THE ROLEX NAME WAS CREATED, HOW THE GERMAN SS / NAZI'S DURING WWII WHERE GIVEN BREITLING WATCHES BY HITLER, HOW LEON BREITLING STARTING MAKING WATCHES WHEN HE WAS 6. IT ALSO EXPLIANS HOW THE NAME ROLEX CAME FROM. ADOLF HILTERS GIFT OF A BREITLING WATCH TO EVA HITLER HIS WIFE.

THE BOOK ALSO COVERS THE HISTORY OF BALL WATCHES, CARTIER, OMEGA, ZENITH, LONGINES AND PATEK PHILIPPE. PLUS WHO WEARS ROLEX, OR BREITLING WATCHES, INCLUDING MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY.

BUT FOR EBAYERS, IT HAS THE BE THE BEST GUIDE BOOK ON HOW TO SPOT FAKE or REPLICA ROLEX, BREITLING, CARTIER, OMEGA, PATEK PHILIPPE, ZENITH, BALL AND IWC WATCHES, THE DETAIL IS PERFECT, ANYONE CONSIDERING BUYING AN EXPENSIVE WATCH EITHER ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE, WOULD DO WELL TO INVEST A FEW DOLLARS IN THE BOOK FIRST. ONCE YOU GET YOU WONT PUT IT DOWN.

THE END OF THE BOOK PLAYS TRIBUTE TO HANS WILSDORF, ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF ROLEX. IT ALSO HAS SOME LIGHT READING SUCH A 2 PAGES OF JOKES ABOUT ROLEX AND BREITLING WATCHES.

IT HAS SOME 100 PICTUES, BUT ARE ALL IN BLACK & WHITE, I GUESS ALOT CANT BE HELPED AS SOME OF THE PICTURES SUCH AS HITLER GIVING OUT WATCHES AND MEDAL WOULD HAVE BEEN IN BLACK AND WHITE.
