Have you seen Your Rolex in an advertisement?????

SIZE="4"]This thread is prompted by my wife, she has taken Rolex spotting to a whole new level. She came home all excited because she had found one of her watches in a Rolex print advertisement run by a local jeweler. She then showed me one of my watches in another similar advertisement. I believe she has been bitten by the bug!! Later in the day I caught her trying to photograph her watch and the advertisement together!! See the results for youself below. Have You ever seen Your Rolex in an Ad ??? Any related stories?? [/SIZE]

What a beautiful ad, Mike!

I wish I had an ad for the SS Daytona, but I have yet to see one. I guess Rolex won't make an ad for a watch that is not readily attainable.

@ Al: As I have said before, that pic of you wearing your TT Sub is like straight out of a Rolex ad!

Love this ad. Also, have to agree with Bo. Every time I see that picture of Al on the water it makes me want to refinance my house and pick up a TT Black Sub and hitch a ride on Al's boat.

Classic. The US Naval Academy class ring is a nice touch. From what I remember, mids and alums can get a pretty decent deal on a Rolex at the Midshipman's Store.

Was in vegas over the weekend. Not exactly my watch but i saw a huge billboard of a two tone daytona.

One of the most questions i got all weekend was, is that white gold? or SS? I just smiled.

by the way the Tourneau @ ceasers forum shop has got to be one of the largest watch stores ever. I had to literally drag my wife away from a Pearlmaster with a single diamond. When i asked if they offer any discount they said zero.

The Rolex shop @ the wynn is also very nice.

Great pictures and even better adds.
I have never seen my watch or any other Rolex in an add, perhaps I should reconsider my subscription on Haggis Spotters Monthly. Hey Ho.

I was Army active and reserves and went IRR after my 20, now I find myself in Tajikistan. IRR is the fast-track to the 'stans, the good news is that it pays enough so far for two Rolexes an a PAM.

Hmmm this month marks 27 years of service. Maybe I need a Rolex to celebrate. :-)

I was released from IRR in January 2002. The funny part is that they sent me an honorable discharge, then sent me another one dated April 2004. I hope they didn't think I was available to them until 2004!

I agree, stay out of the IRR no matter what you do! They use it like a draft.
