Dear TRF friends,

I used to keep all my National Geographic magazines when I was a kid because I loved collecting the Rolex ads. I always loved Rolex and I was lucky enough to get my first one when I was 18 back in 1990. A beautiful Sub!! Enjoy some old ads and some not so old.

Anybody has vintage Ad for Pepsi GMT?

pz93c · 29 August 2009, 10:48 AM

I like that Lady Oyster.

A micro Explorer... kind of.

Sweet! Thank you!

Latrodectus · 29 August 2009, 12:28 PM

That is a nice collection. Thank you!

R1@160@alltimes · 29 August 2009, 12:28 PM

Excellent

GMTJOHNNY · 29 August 2009, 12:29 PM

Glad I got to see my DD in an ad! I will now refer to it as "Mr. Palmer"!!

Per Bob Puscizna's request I found these three beautiful GMT Pepsi ads among my other vintage Rolex ads. However, these are in German.

For those TRF members who speak German we might need your help with the translation.

Enjoy!!!

Is the phone number in the English ads still valid...???

Mom subscribed to Town & Country and Architectural Digest mags (and a host of others). Lots of Rolex ads ... And, best of all, the December issues were half watch ads ... Drool.

Nods · 29 August 2009, 05:13 PM

Didnt Thor Heyerdal use a Eterna-matic, not Rolex GMT on his Kon-Tiki journey?
