Jake's Rolex Watch Blog...

[JakeE]

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:
