That is perhaps the first Rolex poster that I would hang. Most Rolex posters I would find awkward, like wearing a Rolex hat. But this would look great next to my '60s and '70s era Grateful Dead posters!

Well done. I could not imagine which model it was going to be

Rainbow Rolex is uncharacteristically fun. I wish Rolex would lighten up more often.

Thank you for sharing.

Let me tell you that finding such an example was not easy. I have now to frame it, and finally hang it next to my others pieces of art.




Yet, it might have been easier to procure (and faster) than many current models.
if you upload an uncompressed file of the second one everyone can have it :)
