What is your favorite Rolex advertisement?

I think this one is mine. It is from the early 1990's

My all time favorite was the Born to Race TV Commercial featuring the Platinum Daytona that was run during the 2013 F1 season!

the golf commercials are great! the most recent with jack Nicholas and Arnie walking around the halls filled with huge photos of their wins and Rolex is a great commercial.

I guess this answers the question...Is it safe to shower while wearing your Rolex?

Ed Viesturs for Rolex...

Getting to the top is optional.

Getting down, mandatory.

Probably the smoothest operator Rolex has had as an ambassador.[/IMG]

My favorite is the 904L commercial. I have only ever seen it on the website, but it is highly intriguing.
