There aren’t many watches that get people more excited than the Rolex Chronographs. Their Daytona is an icon of luxury sportswear, and has been worn by countless celebrities, athletes and explorers (most notably by Paul Newman). While the Daytona has enjoyed a 40-plus year run as Rolex’s only chronograph model, it isn’t the only chrono Rolex in existence. Today’s Wednesday watch pick is a very rare Rolex -- a square chronograph from the 1930s, model 3529. We challenge you to find anything half as cool as this. 99 Uniqueness While some of your neighbors may own a Rolex, we can all but guarantee they don’t own this one. There is nothing quite like owning an extremely rare model from the best-known brand in the world; it renders you completely immune to any form of horological snobbery. Even those people with more expensive and more complicated watches will have to give credit where credit is due. The Rolex Chronograph 3529 is a great watch no matter how you look at it. Read more 80 Durability While square is not a case-shape that Rolex is known for, it is used by many other high-mark brands. Considering that this Chronograph is approaching 80 years, you have to realize that this is by no means a daily wear watch. Also, because it is so old, it is sized very small relative to today’s models. To give you an idea, a modern Rolex Daytona is around 40mm, while this '30s Square Rolex is sized at 25mm. That said, it does have the legendary Rolex craftsmanship behind it, so don’t be afraid to wear it out on the town. Reference 3529 is a unique and interesting watch from Rolex, one definitely worth checking out if you are looking for something to set you apart. The one we’ve found on www.WatchCommander.com is a great, all-original example. Ben Clymer is the Executive Editor of Hodinkee.com, a daily blog of the most interesting watches in the world.

Tiger Woods, a golf pro hero that sees his career end-up in pieces in just a few weeks, only because he doesn’t live up to the high standard of being a role model for every kid in the US who wants to achieve something. Who cares what he does in his private life? He didn’t kill anyone, didn’t steal.. The hypocrisy of the ones who judge and dropped him is unbelievable imho. I think golf pro Nick Faldo had the same sort of problems in the past (early 1980s) and he recovered quite okay-ish. Anyway, , Tiger saw his name/image going down rather quickly due to some bad Public Relations/Communication.I hope that at least has the decency not to drop him like some of the other sponsors did. Woods remains a great ambassador for their sports watches, simply due to the fact that he is a great sportsman. Currently, TAG Heuer promotes their Golf watch using Tiger Woods as ambassador. In real life, it seems that Tiger choses the TAG Heuer Link Chronograph.His wife (and former model) Elin Nordegren seems to have a nice taste in watches as well. The popular German Rolex Forum () spotted her wearing a Rolex sportswatch (looks like a Submariner), as you can see below. You can find a lot of other famous people wearing Rolex in the , or visit .
