Rolex watches have had a long-standing and privileged association with water. Each timepiece is subjected to extremely demanding tests that ensure water resistance beyond the guaranteed depths. Rolex invented the first water-proof watch called the Oyster in 1928. And ever since each Oyster guarantees excellent performance even in the most trying waters. A similar interest for the waters has been shared by Estella Warren. Estella Warren is a model and actress; however, she started out as a synchronized swimmer and had also made it to the Olympics. The Rolex Datejust 31mm like the rest of its peers is water resistant down to 100 metres/330 feet. It is available in a variation and combination of platinum, 18ct yellow, white or Everose gold and steel. However, the Rolex Datejust 31mm with Diamonds and Yellow Gold proves to be very alluring. Its 31mm size makes it convenient to wear on any wrist size and proves to be a swimmers delight.

Estella Warren began her career as a synchronized swimmer in 1990 at the age of 12. Later she moved to Toronto to train with the nationalsynchronized swimming team. At the age of 17 in 1995 she became the senior national champion in 1995 and also progressed to the 1996 Summer Olympics. She has won the Canadian National Championship three times and also was the solo bronze medalist at the 1995 Junior World Championship. Her brilliant performance in the world of swimming got her to feature in Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Vanity Fair and commercials for Chanel No.5 perfume. Estella Warren has also made waves in the modeling world by campaigning for brands like Nine West, Cartier, De Beers, Samsung and Victoria’s Secret. Making a move onto the silver screen Estella Warren has also done some noticeable work in Driven, Planet of the Apes, Kangaroo Jack and won critical acclaim for The Cooler.

Rolex watches too have always been in the headlines for their performance and reliability. In order to produce flawless timepieces Rolex has its own unique foundry. Rolex creates unique and high quality alloys at its foundry in order to give the world absolute purity. The Rolex Datejust 31mm with Diamongs and Yellow Gold is made of that very absolute pure gold that Rolex produces at its foundry. The bezel is set with brilliants and the dial is a beautiful white mother-of-pearl set with diamonds. Each stone at Rolex is set with great care and dedication hence manufacturing a timepiece that is a work of art. Each stone earns the right to be embedded on a timepiece only once it qualifies the strict standards followed at Rolex. The movement inside each watch is engineered in a way to provide a precise and reliable timepiece. To be given a COSC certification the Rolex Datejust 31mm goes through 15 days and 15 nights of rigorous testing. With such superior standards and tests Rolex ensures churning out a watch that would guarantee long-term performance. This is how each timepiece from the house of Rolex is able to make waves just as the gorgeous Estella Warren.

The panache and youthfulness that exudes from Fefe Dobson’s music is stuff that not many can replicate in their style and sense of dressing and on more occasions than one the talented singer has belied her age with the control she has exhibited over her voice in terms of its maturity and power. The young singer is extremely talented and her spirit calls out for music to serve as a nurturer souls. Music is that which binds the heart to the rest of the body and keeps it going acknowledging the passage of time. Time is a factor that people who excel in their fields of action always take in to account when considering how best they can craft their skills to suit their domain. Rolex is a house of watches that has specially crafted a niche for itself in the hearts of people who may have money on them but also have the vision to understand that Rolex is not just another buy, it is an investment of a lifetime. These people like to spend their lifetime appreciating the efforts of their hard work by way of the things they invest their money in. They live it up and in this way they carry forward the Rolex spirit of crafting excellence for a continued period.

Fefe Dobson’s debut album released with a lot of expectations and the singer made sure that these expectations were met. The album carried her name and also won the singer two well deserved Juno Award nominations. She also did the opening act for Justin Timberlake’s concert. The singer however, was always trying to create a niche for her kind of music and went independent this year with Joy. Her third album is slated for a release this year and will do well on the popularity quotient because of the fans the singer has garnered for herself by performing at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards.

The Rolex Lady Datejust is one of those watches that make simplicity look like a cult. It is the most subtly elaborate designs that have come from the Rolex house of watches and when the watch enwraps itself around the wearer’s wrist it is only natural that the watch inspire the onlooker’s awe. The Rolex Lady Datejust’s most special feature is the date calendar that is featured in the watch. The Cyclops magnifier is another reason why the watch is such a worthy buy, because this special feature helps one to view time even in the most unsuitable and foggiest of conditions. The diamonds and white gold form an elementary feature of this Rolex watch and gives it a sense of style that is not obvious but leaves behind a sense of abandon youthfulness. The certified chronometer is also set with brilliants on its bezel and a white mother-of-pearl finish to the dial gives the watch a kind of subdued elegance that not many can duplicate. The watch bracelet features a president, and a sapphire crystallizes the watch most magnificently. The self wound Rolex Lady Datejust is waterproof to 100 meters and is also available in steel and 18ct white gold finishes.

Oswaldo Negri and the rest of the Michael Shank Racing organization are eagerly awaiting Saturday’s Grand Prix at Miami to make a strong close at the 2009 Rolex Sports Car Series season. And they have good reason to as well; Oswaldo Negri closed the 2004 Rolex Series with a podium finish at Homestead Miami Speedway and returned to the podium with co-driver Mark Patterson in 2008. Oswaldo Negri and Mark Patterson will co-drive the No.60 Ford-Riley Daytona Prototype, while John Pew and Michael Valiante will share the No. 6 Ford Riley as they try to solidify their fifth place position in the championship standings. The kind of zeal and enthusiasm the drivers show towards the series is exactly what makes them achieve feats that have the power to create history. The same kind of history that the title sponsor Rolex creates in the world of watch-making. Rolex as a sponsor not only picks events that push people to deliver their best but also acts a role model with what it has achieved.

Rolex is always on the look-out to create timepieces that are not only works of art but are backed by sound technology and manufacturing. Similarly, Rolex sponsored events have the quality to present amazing sports talent to the world and also reward the same. The 2009 Rolex Sports Car Series is a perfect blend of talent on the tracks and individuals who are self-motivated to excel under any circumstances. The additional temperature might make it a task for the engineers to deal with the tires and the abrasive surface of Homestead, however, Mark Patterson seems to be delighted and takes it as a positive as it would give the racers more grip deeper into the race. Oswaldo Negri is psyched about racing at Homestead as he gets to do what he loves most, racing. Racing in front of his friends and family at the facility that he frequents to oversee careers of young karters makes it an ever more special experience for him.

The other local on the team happens to be John Pew who absolutely relishes the copious karting opportunities as well as the ocean-proximate setting that racing in the Miami area offers him. For Michael Valiante, the trek to Homestead has been the farthest event from his home in Vancouver of all the Rolex races during the 2009 season, but he has also shown that he is right at home on the 2.3-mile circuit by qualifying on the front row and leading 20 laps at the track last year. The 2008 Rolex season was closed by the team powerfully as it scored two wins and opened with a front row monopoly at the Rolex 24 At Daytona. The target for the team on Saturday too is to have the very same powerful season-close as last year.

The team members will also get to celebrate the Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series season in the year-end banquet with panache on Monday evening at the Hard Rock Café which makes them look forward to the weekend all the more. The Miami Grand Prix will get its green flag start at 1:00 PM on Saturday, with live coverage of the race.

Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship was all set to make a memorable start on the 7^th of the October as dozens of women sailors from all across US and different continents had gathered to participate in the biennial regatta but the weather gods had some other plans. On the very first day of the regatta the course witnessed very high winds which forced the race organizers to cancel all the races scheduled for Wednesday, the 7^th October. But this did little to dampen the spirit of the women sailors who are used to facing bigger challenges and far bigger upsets while riding on those impossible waves in the trying waters of the various sailing courses that they deliberately push themselves to become a part of. Rolex the main sponsor of the Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship in fact is a firm believer in the power of humans to withstand all kinds of challenges and make that extra effort which will bring out the best in them.

Promotion of human brilliance and capacity to go beyond the limits of human endurance are the goals Rolex tries to promote through various steps it takes in getting involved with various events across different fields and across the world as well. Sailing is one of the prime events in Rolex’s efforts and Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship is one of the most important of them all. So even though the first day of the Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship was washed out due to the unexpectedly high winds there was no fall in the excitement and enthusiasm of women sailors which is the spirit that Rolex primarily tries to promote all the time when it becomes an integral part of events like the Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship.

This year’s Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship is also significant as there are 35 teams which are taking part in the regatta which has been generating lots of interest since it was held for the first time and since then every time it was held. As much as five countries are being represented in the Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship including Canada, South Africa, Netherlands, Great Britain and United States. There is richness not only in terms of sailors representing their countries but there is a rich representation of various US states as well. There are fifteen states which have got their women sailors to race alongside the best sailors from around the world to try and win one of the most prestigious championships for the women sailors, Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship.

Among the women sailors trying to lay their hands on the Bengt Julin Trophy and also win a Rolex watch are some of the most popular sailors as well as winners of many regattas in the past. It is going to be more difficult now considering the number of days have been curtailed due to the high winds which played spoilsport on the first day itself. It would be great to witness the way women sailors would be trying tirelessly to win the Rolex International Women’s Keelboat Championship with the spirit of utmost motivation and dedications, virtues Rolex endeavors to promote.

It takes two to compete and in most cases when the competition is for an award like the Rolex Player of the Year, the two are the best in the field that the award is for. The Rolex Player of the Year is an award that follows a formula wherein points are awarded for those who finish in the top 10 and then their scores are doubled at the LPGA’s four major championships and at the Tour Championship that ends the season. The points are accumulated over the 10 finishes and then the winner who has the maximum points backing her game is awarded the Rolex Player of the Year award.

This year’s competition has generated a lot of interest and things have heated up quite a bit because the players competing include the last year’s winner Lorena Ochoa and Jiyai Shin who has brought a glorious win at some major tournaments played this year on board.

Lorena Ochoa is basking in the glory of her recent win at the Navistar LPGA Classic, and is striving for her fourth Rolex Player of the Year award. She has years of excellent playing and a wholesome Golf playing experience behind her and her determination to grab the winning baton despite all odds is legendary by now. Lorena Ochoa has never compromised on the performance that she puts out for the game, routinely examining the nuances of the game, building her skills in the game and constantly stretching the limits of the game to formulate winning strategies.

Jiyai Shin brings an equally impressive track record with her. According to some watchers of the game, the player has a strong chance of winning this year’s award and is defending her lead status with aplomb. Jiyai Shin has broken all records at the LPGA of Korea Tour (KLPGA) and has won 10 events in 19 starts in 2007. The next year playing only 10 tournaments, the golfer went on to win three events which also include the Women’s British Open and the ADT Championship. Winning her membership in the LPGA and starting the season on a slow note where she missed her first cut at the season opening SBS Open, the golfer went on to take care of the situation. She promptly won the third event of the season, the HSBC Women’s Champions and also bagged the winning slots in the Wegmans LPGA tournament and P&G Beauty NW Arkansas Championship.

The Rolex Player of the Year award slot is still open for other players to pick the cue and challenge these players in the game. Rolex has always associated itself with achievements that speak of a commitment to excellence and a passion to only deliver what is the best. Rolex watches have been especially crafted to make them most suited to conditions in which other watches might stop functioning. The idea behind a Rolex watch germinates and then the process is to take this up with designers who streamline the watch keeping a certain theme in mind. A Rolex watch is designed around its functionality and not around what it can do in terms of artistic concerns. Rolex watches are aesthetically beautiful, made to cater to people who value the worth of their money and so like their watches to reflect the pride that they take in their wealth and position in life.

Jiyai Shin leads with 136 points in her kitty and with Sunday’s win Lorena Ochoa has jumped to a very close second in the list. May the best player deservedly win this award.
