I'm sure a lot a people will disagree with me but I fail to see how a minor member of the British Royal family would influence someone to buy a Rolex.
Come the revolution.....................!!

Rolex spends huge money on Equestrian events and magazines, and here's why they chose her:

Together with her horse Toytown, she collected individual and team gold medals at the 2005 European Eventing Championship in Blenheim and individual gold and team silver medals at the 2006 FEI World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany, making her the reigning Eventing World Champion.

Somehow, I think they know what they're doing, and it's no different than the appeal they have using Eric Clapton or Roger Federer. If you are buying a swiss timepiece for its craftsmanship, you're likely buying a Patek Phillipe or Vacheron, a Phillipe Dufour or an F.P. Journe. Rolex doesn't choose its ambassadors haphazardly. They know full well the demographic of the buyer who feeds the brand.

Everyone is always convinced that advertising doesn't work on them. Look around your house, and you'll be able to trace most purchases to advertising, whether commercial or simply through a chain of acquaintances. Whether we look to reviews, an infomercial, an article, or an endorsement, advertising eventually reaches us. And it works because we don't see it happening.

Rolex ads are very underwhelming. They shoulda kept Tiger Woods.
