The Creative Works Of F.Gary Gray And The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust II Watches

rolex-datejust-iiThe Rolex watches have been counted amongst the trendiest and the most luxurious of time-pieces. It is the first name that comes to mind when talking about time-pieces that have been able to create a niche for themselves. What made the Rolex stand-out? What made it a leader? We all agree that Rolex watches have always changed their face with the revolutionizing demand. They have never stood still in time and have focused on being forward-thinking. The futuristic outlook of these watches is the biggest factor in making them a branch as successful as it is today.

The new Oyster Perpetual Datejust II watches presented by Rolex are a tribute to the “forever classic” spirit of the Rolex watches. These watches are the reinterpretation of the classic Rolex. Being presented in a version entirely carved in steel and with the smooth bezel, the new Oyster Perpetual Rolex watches exert a bold and lively look. Even though the new Oyster Perpetual Rolex Datejust II watches have been conceptualized as a reinterpretation of the classic Rolex, they understand the current demands and have incorporated each and every aspect that will sell today.

A smooth and shimmering body of steel exudes strength of an “unbreakable”. It is the 904L steel that gives these watches the durability. The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust II watches, carved in steel as solid as the 904L have are absolutely tough. Also, the 904L steel, which is generally used in industrial materials, gives the Rolex Datejust II watches a long life. The material is absolutely resistant against corrosion adding to the quality of the watches.

Another factor that adds to the worth of the Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust II watches is the comfort and elegance that they owe to the Oyster bracelet. The rapid extension system that increases and decreases the bracelet length as per the convenience of the wearer, adds to comfort in any circumstances.

fgary-grayHow do we distinguish between the Datejust II that was and the one that is? True, that the new Datejust II watches are a reinterpretation of the classic Rolex. However, reinterpretation is no where near to replication. Made out of a glistening steel body, these watches are designed for the men of today. These watches are not subtle yet sophisticated. Above all, they stand out.

The persona of the Rolex new Oyster Perpetual Datejust II watches is very much like the style of F. Gary Gray. The American music video and film director has a unique sense of art. His creativity is classic in every sense, yet matches the rhythm of the time. Gray began his career in the year 1989. Having worked for over two decades his works have become extremely refined. And, his directions carry the essence of every genre. Gray directed his first film at the age of 24. He is the director of “Friday, Set It Off” and “The Negotiator”. He also remade “The Italian Job”. Some of his best works include “A Man Apart”, “Be Cool” and “Law Abiding Citizen”.

The duo survived tough times in the Brickyard Grand Prix and stood victorious at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Bourdais, was driving the anchor leg and pulled away on the final restart on the 2.534-mile Indy road course. He was driving in the No. 2 Soloson Ford/Riley to bag the Daytona Prorotype division’s first NAE Championship. This year’s Rolex Car Series races have been one of the greatest ever. Starworks winning the Rolex Championship has been like a dream come true for the team members.

Popow said, “It’s amazing, sitting here in first place at the Brickyard — it’s like a dream come true. This is something I’ve been chasing all year.” The year 2012 has been of much importance to the Starworks team. For Starworks it has been a year of achievements and accomplishments. The Brickyard victory was the last feather in the hat for the Starworks team. The team had won in the endurance test at Sebbring and Le Mans. It had also finished second in the season-opening Rolex 24 at Daytona.

The Indianapolis 500 expert, Scott Pruett, along with team mate Memo Rojas finished second in the No.1 TELMEX BMW Riley. Pruett has shown fantastic spirit throughout the competition. “I think this hat says it all: Super Weekend,” Pruett said. “I think most everything took place — it rained, we had a tore-up race car — but we managed to scratch back and finish second.”The third to finish are Max Angelelli and Ricky Taylor. The team bagged the third spot driving in the No. 10 SunTrust Racing Corvette fielded by Wayne Taylor Racing of nearby Brownsburg, Ind.

The event was not a smooth ride with racers bumping into each other, exuding a strong sense of competition and that too an aggressive one. There were three caution periods after the lead was taken by Bourdais. However, the experienced and intelligent racer was able to pull away on restart each time. The amount of aggression and heat shown by the racers in the wild race, which featured 13 lead changes, was slowed nine times by caution.2012 Grand Am Indy There was fender-banging action, which increased manifold due to the heavy rain that was witnessed twice. The rain made the conditions all the more difficult. Within a three hour event the rains poured twice, adding difficulty and trickiness to the track conditions.

Juan Pablo Montoya and Scott Dixon, who were driving in the No.1 Chevron BMW/Riley Ganassi, created controversy with his driving stint, bumping into Joajo Barbosa and then into Ryan Dalziel. Andy Lally and John Potter finished fifth overall.” Just amazing. We just won Indy,” said Lally, who was the last season’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rookie of the Year. He added, “I’ve said it 60 times since we took the checkered flag, but it was such a hard-fought battle all day long with those guys.”
