While I represent Mondani here in Germany, I prefer the Submariner Story, or Daytona Story, or GMT books. In addition, I think the "100 years Rolex" was an excellent book and Giorgia refers to the book as the best book her father has ever written. Probably the truth, and it is sold out soon if it is not already sold out.

The Total Rolex book is more for the casual Rolex fan, nothing for the serious collector. I am getting a copy of it in a couple days for a client and if it arrives unsealed, I will shoot some pictures and give my short review about it as well. I would view this book more as a coffee table book. So depending on which book from Mondani, they all have their specific function. And there is not really much of an alternative out there if you are looking for a good book about Rolex and even Patek or Panerai.

There is Pucci's Daytona book which plays in a league of their own at 4000 Euros. And Stefano has written an excellent book about the Daytona. Contentwise I would rate it absolute the best book on Daytona, but his pictures are not comparable to the other two books.
