			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rolex Yacht Master is a sports watch by Rolex. It was released back in 1992 and was branded as the best sports watch on the planet. It did not take long before becoming heartbeat of many sport lovers due to its exclusive design and 18 K Yellow Gold. </p>
<p>Year 1994 was great for Rolex Yacht Master. Rolex Yacht expanded its line of watches for women as well as mid-sized men. It was first time that Rolex released a smaller professional watch. This was a clear indication of the popularity that Rolex was getting with the sport loving community for its Rolex Yacht Master. </p>
<p><span id="more-20"></span></p>
<p>Later in 1996, Rolex Yacht Master was also released in Two-Tone for ladies and mid-size line of its smaller professional watches. The Two-Tone combined stainless steel and 18 K Yellow Gold to bring out a fantasy combination in sport watches. </p>
<p>Rolex Yacht Master did not stop evolution in sport watches. It went on to introduce Rolesium. Rolesium was originally introduced back in 1932. However, the Rolesium built for Rolex Yacht Master was released in 1997. This new model was constructed from Platinum and Stainless Steel. These exclusive materials gave it true sport look as the watch saw unprecedented success within the circles of sport watch community. </p>
<p>The Platinum Yacht is another name for the Rolesium. The dial and the bezel are made from Platinum and therefore it dominates the look of the watch making it popular as Platinum Yacht Master. The band, crows, case and other parts are made from Stainless steel making them unique and unprecedented combination for a sport watch. </p>
<p>If you are looking to add Rolex Yacht Master to your collection, you will have plenty of options to choose. The Rolex Yacht Master comes in more than one materials and form factors these days. You can choose to have a 18 K gold model or a steel model. All these models are available for men as well as women. You will also find unisex models that fit well on both men and women. The unisex models are also available in two-tone and steel. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A German national, Hans Wilsdorf started Rolex in 1908. Wilsdorf was not along when he founded the company. His brother in law, Davis, was also involved with the company. The company carried both the founder’s name in its original name, Wilsdorf and Davis. </p>
<p>When Wilsdorf started the company, the technology was not advanced to the highest level. The Swiss watchmakers were mainly focusing on pocket watches as they were not confident that they would successfully manage the watch technology at a smaller scale. This restricted the accuracy for wrist watches. However, Hans Wilsdrof was a perfectionist. He had only one thing on his mind and that was to make accurate movements possible within smaller watches that can possibly fir the wrist watch. His ambition led him to unprecedented success within no time as he started manufacturing watches that were accurate and the movement of the hands was perfect.<br />
<span id="more-18"></span></p>
<p>Hans Wilsdrof started manufacturing watches for sporty, casual and formal wearing. The company started getting more success as Wildrof planned big things ahead of time. He actually pursued most of them in his life time. </p>
<p>Wilsdrof knew that he had to strive for accuracy as well as reliability. After he received Chronometer rating in 1910, he started focusing more on reliability because he had already achieved accuracy. The chronometer rating was a proof of that accomplishment. </p>
<p>Rolex received lot of attention when it first launched a water resistant watch. People were skeptical about the water resistant ability of a watch at that time. In fact, with the technology available during those times and its use in watch making industry, it was justified to have a skeptical attitude towards first water resistant watch. </p>
<p>However, the clever marketing campaign soon created huge brand following and brand awareness for Rolex. People could see aquariums displayed at the glass window of the shop where Rolex water resistant watch was resting. People could see these watches working even after remaining there in the aquarium for days. This was enough to convince them. Rolex never looked back from there and continued setting the standards for the watch making industry. These days, some of the leading watch makers follow the standards that Rolex once set. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Rolex GMT Master was designed as an aviator watch and it carried that branding theme right from the beginning. Even if you see the earliest adverts and commercials, you will clearly notice it being advertised as aviator’s choice. </p>
<p>The special thing about Rolex GMT Master Watch was its fourth dial. This new addition was unprecedented in the watch making industry before Rolex GMT Master Watch. This extra hand allowed display of additional time from another city or even time zone. It is really the choice of the owner. The watch has an outer bezel to make two different times possible on the same watch. </p>
<p><span id="more-11"></span></p>
<p>Although the GMT has been abolished by aviation industry as their standard time zone and now they use UTC, Rolex GMT Master Watch has maintained its brand name. The aviators set UMT instead of GMT on their Rolex GMT Master watches.<br />
It was Pan Am that initiated the development of Rolex GMT Master. The pilots were going longer routes and had to keep track of GMT along with the respective time zone. The problem was that the time zones were changing more than once during long routes. This asked for a watch that can let pilots set two different time zones on their watches one of them being the GMT always. Pan Am motivated Rolex to come up with the Rolex GMT Master Watch. Since then, it has become a standard in aviation industry. </p>
<p>When you buy a new Rolex GMT Master Watch, you have to set its time first using different hands. In fact, the watch has four hands including a Red GMT hand as an extra perk. You will also have to set bezel. </p>
<p>These settings are easy. In fact, the Minute, Second and Hour hand are set the regular way as you do with all the other watches. However, when it comes to setting the bezel and the Red hand, some users face certain difficulty. If you read the manual careful, you will understand that Rolex wants to let the user choose what to do with these two hands. If you want to keep it the way it was meant to be, then you should set the Red hand and bezel for GMT and set the current time zone using the other three hands. However, if you need to set any time zone other than GMT, you can easily find a table with differences in different time zones relative to GMT.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rolex Daytona features two different model ranges. Under the older model range, only few watches were manufactured and were marketed only to specific niche watch enthusiastic community. The Rolex Daytona watches produced under this series were only seen between 1960s and 1980s. This series became obsolete later on. </p>
<p>The series was discontinued in the late eighties; however, the limited supply in early nineties was a clear signal for the predecessor series. The second series did not only meet the demand of loyal Daytona customer but also marketed itself beyond the niche audience. This led this model to unprecedented success within no time. </p>
<p><span id="more-9"></span><br />
Number of different models varying in color and material are available under the Daytona series. You can pick the Rolex Daytona 18k white gold watch or you can go for the same watch in yellow gold. It is really a matter of your choice. Both these watches do not only look exclusive but they sit on the wrist perfectly. They have all the features that make Daytona series so popular.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can go for Rolex Daytona stainless steel watch, which is in a class of its own. This watch looks great in stainless steel due to the heavy carry look that it produced so efficiently without putting all that weight on the wrist. </p>
<p>Another good option in Rolex Daytona series is Rolex Daytona Two-Tone wrist watch. Again, this watch has all the same features that Daytona series boost off so proudly. Yet another option in the same series is Rolex Daytona 18 K Rose Gold wrist watch. This watch will not only speak about your personality out loud but will easily speak to the people about the class of the watch as well. This 18 K rose gold watch is nothing less than a dream gift.</p>
<p>The Rolex Daytona watches with Paul Newman dial are considered the elitist. Paul Newman wore the same model from 1972 until his death back in 2008. His wife gifted him the watch even before he started taking control of the automobile industry. </p>
<p>When Rolex originally produced these Daytona watches, they did not receive a great deal of appreciation and neither enjoyed true popularity with these watches. However, the watches started becoming popular with the release of its second generation series with superior features and form factor. The price was not as invaluable as it used to be with the original first series of Rolex Daytona watches. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Rolex watches are known for their class and quality. They have been one of the leading watch brands since their origin. One of their major successes was with the Rolex Submariner that was launched back in 1954. This watch started off really well because of James Bond wearing it in one of its movies. It soon becomes the pulse of youth even though it was specifically designed for submariners. Its distinguishing feature was and still is its excellent water resistant capabilities.</p>
<p>When you buy your Rolex submariner, the first thing to do with it is setting it up. This is generally something that not everyone is comfortable with. However, the directions below will definitely help you get through within minutes.<br />
<span id="more-6"></span></p>
<p>The first thing to do with your new Rolex Submariner watch is to turn its right knob, which is of a crown shape, until it pops out slightly. You will hear a light click voice when that right knob pops out.</p>
<p>The next thing that you need to do is to pull out the crown a little. You will hear another click sound when it is pulled it. You should now be able to set hour and minute hand. Set the hour and minute hand accordingly.</p>
<p>Once you have set the correct time, you can push that crown knob back. It will again produce a click sound and will adjust with the main frame of the watch. It will not flush against the frame but will keep a resting distance.</p>
<p>Now you need to turn the crown knob again, this time backwards. When you it has completely settled in, you can stop turning it. It will take 20 turns to get back into its position.</p>
<p>The Submariner is a class watch with its own style. It is effectively water proof to a depth of 300 meters per 1000 feet. This is the reason it is called Submariner watch.</p>
<p>Another thing making this watch one of the most desired is its Triplock feature. The watch has a triple gasket system that makes it even better piece of watch making. This system ensures the perfect working of Triplock feature.</p>
<p>This expensive watch features a quality frame made from either gold or solid steel block. The watch really looks top of its league with this quality frame. It is not only good to wear but also makes it shine out of crowd.</p>
