Favorite Rolex Advertisment...
This is probably my favorite Rolex Ad. It dates from around 1991. Just makes me want to go diving and underwater exploring with a Sea-Dweller or Submariner!

There was a serie of ads in National Geographic and Photography Magazine when I was a kid that I remember well. "You can tell by the men who wear them" campaign. Here's an example:

My 3 favs
First the Rolex Explorer, second the Sub and third the GMT (it recalls when flying was a great experience, years before 9/11 and no low cost)

A favourite from my collection of print ads. Sometimes you just don't need words:

I like this one. I am a fan of both Jaws and Subs. A SS Sub for $490. Those were the days.

Seeing this ad in the DAN Alert Diver magazine was almost enough to make me buy a DSSD:

As this may be the first Rolex ad to mention "Submariner" and "the new craze of 'skin-diving'", this may be of interest.

Most vintage Rolex ads are good stuff!

This is my oldest, from the Illustrated London News, June 6, 1953. The paper, like older Rolex watch dials, has developed a nice patina over the last 58 years.
