Rolex = Adventure

The clip really highlighted the association of Rolex with adventure. Those magazine ads with explorers and adventurers are what planted the seed in me back as an young teen. I remember reading those ads in the school library about mountain climbers and sailors.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes when I was a kid the magazine ads about all of these adventures were what started me thinking about Rolex.

Thanks for sharing. Really like the Daytona with red touches at the beginning of this trailer. Model number will be helpful. Thanks again.

Great link thank you. I often go on U-tube looking for good Rolex clips and videos. This one is one of the good ones.

Cool video..

But ehh....Rolex was the first with a date on the dial...

I thought that was Patek back in 1925..
