Me too, Jan. As a kid, I always drooled over these ads and told myself that one day I would own a Rolex.

Great pics of these classic adverts!

Great to see those ads. They influenced me as well.

It looks like one of the 18k subs is without the magnifying lens...

and not all of the watches shows 10:10:31... ;-)

Best, and thanks,

Thanks for posting Jan.

My Dad was a cheapster all through my childhood, but he bought me a subscription to Nat Geo once.

I just subscribed as a part of my nephew's school fundraiser. Looking forward to the mags of course and any new Rolex ads. These are classic though!!

Thanks for posting these. They were hugely influential to me as a younger man and drove me on to save up for my Submariner.
