Found this Rolex 1655 in a grade school library.

I saw it from across the room, and said... he sure is posing his watch in this photo, I wonder what it is. Sure enough, it was a Rolex 1655, I wonder how old that photo is.

I don't know the age but it is a cool poster. Especially to be in a library. It always strikes me funny how we can notice a Rolex anywhere we go. I always catch myself looking at the wrist of every person I see whether it is on tv, in pictures, or in person. If I see a nice watch I point it out to the wife and she says there is no way her eyes would be able to catch that they have a Rolex on.
I tell her it is a sickness. Lol

Isn't that Orlando Bloom? If it is, I would say the photo is about 10 years old. It was 2004 when that READ campaign came out with Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly. Great catch !
