Vintage Rolex Brochures

I have several of these in my collection, so I thought I would share.

Let's start with a 1963 brochure for the Submariner, containing the U.S. Navy Dive Tables and a helpful primer on hand signals.

Great brochures, 'tis a pity the reference section doesn't cater for the earlier watches, which is where my interest lies.

Let's see more of them, it does make for excellent reference material. Thanks for sharing them.

cheers

Small GMT and 1655 brochure with Pan Am 747

Pulled this small brochure out of a box the other day. Got it when I purchased a 1655 from a AD back in the day.
